VeloBit Inc. announced an introductory sampling
program with Micron Technology, Inc., that will enable VeloBit to provide
customers with a bundled SSD and caching software evaluation solution.
Customers looking to integrate SSDs in their IT infrastructure can
receive a free 60-day trial that bundles VeloBit Hypercache software with
select Micron PCIe and SATA SSDs.
The bundle meets the needs of customers looking to accelerate I/O
bound applications and boost database capacity. Customers can experience, in 60
seconds or less, an increase in application performance and capacity by up to
20x without changing their applications or primary storage.
"Micron is recognized for delivering optimum performance and
reliability with their line of enterprise flash storage solutions,"
said Duncan McCallum, CEO of VeloBit. "The sampling program with
Micron enables us to offer a free evaluation of a complete solution for
customers that don’t yet have SSDs. Customers can have a trial up and running
in a few hours without working through an SSD purchasing process. This joint
solution will accelerate adoption of our performance-leading SSD caching
software and speed SSD adoption in the enterprise.
"Performance, reliability and low latency are key attributes
important for flash storage in the enterprise and Micron is able to deliver on
those with our line of enterprise SSDs," said Kevin Dibelius, senior
manager of product marketing for Micron’s NAND Solutions Group. "Bundling
Micron’s PCIe and SATA SSDs with VeloBit’s HyperCache caching software enables
customers to quickly and easily experience the performance gains of enterprise
flash storage in their existing systems."
