Milestone: Now 150 Companies in AFA From 12 Countries

Since the first inception of AFAs, we filled a list of all companies involved in this business. We have just reached a milestone: 150, with 69% of them located in USA among 12 countries listed. They were 100 in 2017 with 72% in USA.

This list is regularly updated and accessible for free on all the pages of StrorageNewsletter.com.

Below are all known companies offering storage subsystems with SSDs or devices with flash chips only.

We don’t include firms manufacturing hybrid units with SSDs and/or HDDs, only purposed-built flash arrays.

The first one historically was probably SeaChange International for a media server in 2008, including a RAID of 24 flash memory drives of 32GB or 64GB.

All big storage names are there to answer to the speed needed by critical applications (data base, HPC, big data analysis, etc.)
