WhipTail XLR8r Achieves VMware Ready Status

WhipTail, maker of NAND flash silicon
storage arrays, announced that its XLR8r has achieved VMware Ready status.

This
designation indicates that WhipTail’s XLR8r has passed an evaluation
and testing process managed by VMware and is now listed on the VMware Solution
Exchange (VSX).

Passing the extensive VMware-specified testing helps ensure that WhipTail’s
XLR8r makes best use of VMware technology and is ready for deployment in
customer environments.

"We are pleased that WhipTail XLR8r
qualifies for the VMware Ready logo, signifying to customers that it has passed
specific VMware testing and interoperability criteria and is ready to run in
production environments," said Sheryl Sage, director, Alliance Programs,
VMware.

"By using WhipTail’s enterprise
class NAND flash silicon storage array with VMware vSphere, customers can
successfully move to highly productive virtualized environments where demand
for large amounts of WRITE IO are a must," said Dan Crain, CEO at
WhipTail. "Our storage solution is
specifically designed for low latency and high IO environments where
performance, price and scalability are top priorities."

The VMware Ready program is a VMware co-branding program for qualified partner
products and is a benefit of the VMware Technology Alliance Partner (TAP)
program. With more than 2,000 members worldwide, the TAP program works
with technology partners to provide them a set of technical and marketing
