Violin Ships RAID Array Based on SSD
Violin Memory has started shipping the 3200 Memory Array; a RAID array based entirely on single-level cell (SLC) NAND flash memory. According to this report on InfoStor, the 3200 Memory Array is priced on par with some RAID arrays based on traditional hard disk drives (HDDs).
"According to Matt Barletta, Violin Memory's vice president of product marketing, the relatively low cost of the company's arrays is due to a more efficient aggregation of flash memory compared to other solid-state disk (SSD) implementations, as well as the company's sourcing arrangement with SSD supplier Toshiba, which is one of the investors in Violin. (The arrays can also be configured with SSDs from other suppliers.)"
