A Murky Future for StorSpeed?

StorSpeed, which launched its SP5000 caching appliance with up to six clustered 2U caching node and solid state drives (SSD) is currently facing an unclear future. According to this report on Channel Register, former employees say that the company didn't sell a single system.


"The future of filer cacher StorSpeed appears unclear after it emerged that key execs had left the firm amidst rumors it failed to actually shift any kit. It launched its SP5000 caching appliance last October. This was juicy hardware with up to six clustered 2U caching nodes featuring FPGA go-faster hardware and solid state drives (SSD) or small form-factor SAS drives, controlled by software said to be application-aware. The SSD version was said to support 350,000 IOPS. As an inline cache it competed with Avere's FTX multi-tiered filer accelerator."
