“Violin has led the adoption of all-flash storage systems by both enterprises and service providers. Now, Violin is driving flash usage to encompass a wider range of applications. Data center operators need storage systems that not only meet ever-growing performance challenges, but also offer sophisticated data management and protection services.”

“Hardware architecture – hardware design - matters. To extract maximum performance the molecule to start with is the flash chip, not SSD. Enterprise-caliber data services matter…It will actually change the way you do business.”

“The storage market has always been plagued by an over emphasis on dollar per gigabyte. Now it's about the cost per data center. An all-flash array is a negative cost to the CIO when a solution brings together a one-of-a-kind hardware architecture and advanced software features to sustain enterprise workload performance while reducing hardware, software licenses and power.”

“We now see the tipping point for all flash array adoption. Without sophisticated data services, most large enterprises hesitated to make the switch to support the entire business on flash. Now with Violin’s Concerto, these workload heavy organizations now have good reason to consider making the leap into an all-silicon data center for concurrent mixed workloads.”

“Users are looking to go beyond tactical deployments that solve the need of a single application and therefore functionality like non-disruptive software and hot swappable components are essential to prevent down time. Violin Memory has combined its home grown data management features with its flash array architecture to do just that.”
