iXsystems Renews Agreement With Fusion-io

After a successful first year, iXsystems,
Inc. announced that it agreed to continue collaboration with Fusion-io
through 2012.

The renewal agreement means that iXsystems will work closely with
Fusion-io to create new products integrating the Fusion ioMemory

Over the past year, iXsystems has integrated ioMemory
technology into the TrueNAS unified storage appliance line. iXsystems servers
and storage appliances are able to achieve scalability
and performance, as well as enterprise reliability and lower latencies.

and continue to push the boundaries of modern data technology."

Customers looking for the performance of TrueNAS backed by the power of
Fusion-io can find it available in three models: the TrueNAS Enterprise, the
TrueNAS Archiver Pro, and the TrueNAS Ultimate.

For growing businesses that require reliability and performance, the
TrueNAS Enterprise delivers mid-size storage capable of meeting
data-intensive demands. The TrueNAS Archiver Pro is a deduplication focused
appliance ideal for large-scale storage environments, offering scalability,
data density, and storage efficiency. The
TrueNAS Ultimate a combination of scalability and
performance in a single appliance.

our relationship with iXsystems to continue innovation through open appliances
that meet a variety of enterprise needs," said Tyler Smith, VP of

forward to continuing our work with the team at iXsystems to engineer solutions
that improve data performance by reducing latency."
