“The new Virident FlashMAX II provides even better MySQL performance, higher capacity, and a nice Linux driver, so it definitely meets my expectations. Indeed.com is the #1 job site worldwide, so high performance and reliability are essential to us. Virident has become our preferred SSD vendor; we've been very happy with their performance, responsiveness, and support.”-Kevin Kwast, Chief Data Architect, Indeed
“As a satisfied customer of the first-generation FlashMAX, we are thrilled with the impressive performance of FlashMAX II. FlashMAX II will support our plans to scale our data center and improve application and virtualization performance for the next generation of our IT operations.”-Tom Parker, Director of IT, KAYAK Software Corp
“IT organizations require predictable, sustained and unconditional performance at all capacity levels for enterprise-grade solid-state drives to deliver the best possible service-level agreements and application performance to their users.”-Joseph Unsworth, Research VP, Gartner
“Virident SCM devices are great at delivering high-perofrmance for data intensive applications that have space, weight, and power constraints. SCM devices usher in a new era of sensor-based computing appliances that support surveillance and over watch applications.”-Harold Trease, Senior Research Scientist, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
“The Virident PCIe card delivers the highest physical density in the Storage Class Memory (SCM) industry. As our observatories around the world are each run by a small ‘ iT Facility’, which basically is a small shed onsite, the size of our high speed memory storage solution is paramount.”-Wayne Rosing, Founder and CEO of LCOGT
“The Virident solution scales better than the other PCIe SSD cards we've tested and deployed. We're heavy users, and our service needs to be available to our customers 24x7, so performance and reliability are very important to us.”-Dr. Hitoshi Sato, Assistant Professor, Tokyo Institute of Technology
"In our testing, Virident’s Storage Class Memory (SCM) devices showed very high IO throughput, at low latencies. I have no doubt that any setup with an IO bound application will see huge benefits from the storage as fast as the Virident FlashMAX PCIe SLC SSD.”-Naoki Ike, General Manager, IT Engineering Unit, SCSK Corporation
"Managing ever increasing DB sizes, even while scaling the performance vertically, has traditionally been at the forefront of our engineering challenges. Double that up with 24x7 uptime and scaling requirements of one of the fastest growing businesses.”-Amod Malviya, VP Engineering, Flipkart.com
"It is good to see that the new Virident FlashMAX MLC card is available for customers. Our tests of FlashMAX show high performance, and more importantly stability of the results. The Virident SCM solution minimizes variability in throughput and response time on full range of used space. ”-Vadim Tkachenko, CTO of Percona Inc.
“Virident’s offerings scale better than other PCIe SSD cards we've deployed. Mazda is an Intel Platinum Partner solutions provider and we work with a class of users that have high expectations of service and 24/7 availability, so performance and reliability are of paramount importance to us and our customers.”-Shawn Herrera, President and CEO, Mazda Computing
MILPITAS, Calif., May 6th, 2013—Virident Systems Inc., the performance leader in flash-based storage-class memory (SCM) solutions, today announced the company will be speaking at EMC World on server side flash storage. EMC World is the premier educational forum for EMC customers, partners and IT professionals. This year’s event will take place May 6 – 9, 2013 at The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada; right on the heels of Virident’s announcement on the general availability of its FlashMAX Connect software suite. FlashMax Connect is the industry’s first software suite to deliver a shared server-side flash storage tier. The suite extends the functionality of server-side flash storage solutions to provide an unparalleled flash-storage management layer.
MILPITAS, Calif., April 30th, 2013—Virident Systems Inc., the performance leader in flash-based Storage-Class Memory (SCM) solutions, today announced the availability of its FlashMAX Connect™. The first software solution that creates a storage management layer integrated with the industry leading performance of FlashMAXTM II PCIe storage. The FlashMAX Connect™ suite provides the extreme low latency, while delivering the shared capacity, manageability and high availability of legacy SAN architectures. FlashMAX Connect is designed to optimize the use of server-side flash storage for database applications, including applications where a single PCIe card can be utilized by multiple servers.
