Former Fusion-io CEO Flynn Starts New Company: Primary Data

 David Flynn, 44, resigned in May 2013 from Fusion-io, that he co-founded, being replaced as CEO by Shane Robison.

He has just formed a start-up, Primary Data, reveals The Wall Street Journal.

CMO of the stealthy firm is Rick White, also co-founder of Fusion-io.

On the web site of Primary Data, there is only one page with one sentence:" This fall, the next phase of data center evolution is coming to a city near you!"

The idea of Primary Data, another one in software-defined storage, is to solve "shared data" storage by software rather than hardware in an infrastructure, with multiple servers working on different OSs, needing to access to the same pool of SSDs. Installed on a standard server, this software gives the possibility to access to all stored data through an "unified file directory namespace"

WSJ added that Flynn says:" Primary Data, which has not yet raised outside funding, has relied so far in part on technology from other start-ups in the field that the company has acquired."
