Enterprise Solutions Ltd. a North American enterprise data center IT solutions provider,
has entered into a strategic partnership with Violin Memory, Inc., in flash memory as
primary data storage.
OnX will provide its clients with business-oriented end-to-end IT solutions
that incorporate Violin flash memory arrays. These solutions are targeted to
meet the performance, economic and environmental requirements of
data centers.
"Violin provides what OnX believes to be the strongest solution in the
flash memory array space," said Steve Lankard, OnX US CTO. "Under this partnership, OnX will continue to
transform our clients’ data center storage infrastructures by leveraging
leading-edge, but proven technologies in the marketplace. The combination of
Violin and OnX removes many of the economic roadblocks to key IT initiatives."
OnX has integrated Violin’s flash memory storage arrays to deliver performance
improvements across a range of use cases, including: database
acceleration, business application acceleration, virtualization and big data
analytics.
Violin’s systems integrate with minimal impact to existing
enterprise storage architectures, requiring no changes to applications or
operational processes. The combination of OnX solutions with Violin
technology eliminates the performance bottleneck typically associated with
spinning-disk storage, providing a database or storage platform that scales to
millions of IOPS while lowering operating costs related to power, cooling and
floor space.
"Clients continually call for higher
performing solutions while simultaneously requiring agility and lower total
cost of ownership," said Ken Hoppe, VP of Violin. "With this partnership, our joint clients
will be able to rapidly deploy Violin’s flash memory storage solutions to
improve enterprise application performance and create competitive advantage –
based on technology designed for the modern silicon data center."
