Skyera Sells First Skyhawk Enterprise SSD Systems

Skyera Inc. announced initial unit sales of its Skyhawk series of enterprise solid-state storage systems as part of Skyera’s Early Access Program.

Enterprise customers will be able to utilize low-cost 19/20nm solid-state technology as a direct replacement for traditional HDDs.

Skyhawk features a compact half-depth 1U form factor with 44TB of up to 1 million IOPS, low-latency native capacity to satisfy the demanding big data, analytics and virtualization applications.

Skyhawk was developed to extend the life amplification of the latest generation of MLC Flash and to deliver a solution at a system price of less than $3 per gigabyte, in line with hard disk-based enterprise storage systems.

"Our first revenue achievement represents an historical milestone for Skyera and for the solid-state market," said Radoslav Danilak, CEO of Skyera. "We are excited about the enthusiasm that our disruptive technology has generated and that customers are paying for early access units. We are looking forward to fulfilling the remaining orders with general availability of Skyhawk next quarter."

Skyera will be demonstrating the Skyhawk capabilities at the upcoming Gartner Data Center Conference, December 3-6 at The Venetian Resort Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV.
