Led by a team with decades of storage controller experience, the company has built an architecture that allows for innovation and flexible integration of customer requirements. With the introduction of TrueFlash, the firm is providing a modular flash storage architecture that accelerates time to market of flash technology while delivering disruptive cost and performance benefits to customers deploying cloud storage solutions, all-flash arrays, and hyper-converged solutions.

“With a predicted growth rate in data of 500% over the next ten years, many IT managers struggle to balance the need for faster, denser and lower-powered flash against the expense and limited availability that the current supply chain yields,” said George Crump, president and founder, Storage Switzerland LLC. “By changing how storage works and how it is delivered, Burlywood is attempting to lower flash costs and improve time to market in order to provide cloud companies with the advantages of SSDs at 20 to 40% less cost over current solutions.“

By deploying a disruptive business model that reduces cost and improves supply, the company is making it for hyperscale enterprises, content delivery networks, and cloud providers to transition to an all-flash architecture. TrueFlash allows for the use of the latest flash technology with better performance earlier in the lifecycle of flash nodes. Integrated multi-stream QoS provides advanced traffic management and consistent performance, tuning it to match the needs of customers’ environments and workloads.

TrueFlash is a modular flash controller architecture designed for hyperscale data centers and AFA/HCI systems. By supporting all storage formats, any protocol and current or future NAND memory, the firm provides organizations with full SSD solutions based on the TrueFlash software and FPGA optimized to customers’ specifications.

“It comes as no surprise that companies everywhere are looking for a solution that will allow them to deploy an optimized storage environment for their applications at the lowest possible TCO, and shortest time to market,” said Tod Earhart, CEO, Burlywood. “While an all-flash data center is ideally suited to deliver the benefits of performance and density, cost has long been a limiting factor. By using the latest flash available for a specific application, combined with an advanced programmable controller and Burlywood TrueFlash software, we are able to deliver an enterprise flash solution at a cost of up to 40% less while increasing performance and expanding capacity.“

TrueFlash is available via an array of flexible business models with dedicated in-house support, technical and strategic support in all phases of its lifecycle, and collaborative roadmap planning from the company.
