Ciara Selects PCIe SSDs From OCZ

OCZ
Technology Group, Inc. announced its PCI Express SSDs have been selected by
Ciara Technologies, Inc. for integration
into the company’s KRONOS S Line workstations, delivering a
performance and optimized solution for demanding 2D/3D CAD and simulation
applications in the automotive, aerospace, oil and gas and other compute
intensive markets.

For more than 25 years, Ciara has been provider of IT infrastructure
and HPC solutions. Ciara designs powerful solutions and strives to be ahead of the curve in emerging
technologies such as flash storage. Ciara’s new KRONOS S Line now features OCZ
RevoDrive 3 PCIe SSDs with up to 1.5GB/s of storage bandwidth and 200,000 random IOPS as a primary storage device delivering scalability,
performance, and reliability.

"Ciara has a long
history of developing high-performance systems for large enterprises worldwide
and we are pleased that the RevoDrive 3 X2 SSD has been qualified and selected
as the primary storage device for the company’s record breaking S-Line
Workstations," said Ryan Petersen, CEO of OCZ Technology Group. "The RevoDrive 3 X2 PCIe SSD is the ideal
storage device for the new S-Line Workstations and delivers both exceptional
performance and reliability across the complete spectrum of demanding design
applications."

"In today’s
market good is not good enough anymore and when speed is the name of the game
engineering groups want to accelerate development and bring projects to
completion in record time," said Patrick Scateni, Vice President Sales
and Marketing of Ciara Technologies. "Our
newly launched KRONOS S Line workstation is the perfect tool to help companies
achieve their results faster than the competition and the OCZ RevoDrive 3 X2
was the perfect and only choice to achieve our record breaking performance."

The Revo3 Series implements OCZ’s proprietary Virtualized Controller
Architecture 2.0 (VCA 2.0) which manages critical internal functions such
as OCZ’s intelligent Complex Command Queuing Structure (CCQS) with unique queue
balancing algorithms. This combination leads to performance and
results in higher throughput and reduced burden on the host CPU.
