Fusion-io today announced the 10 TB ioDrive Octal, delivering up to 20 TB of flash-based acceleration in a 1U server, such as the Supermicro SuperServer 6016GT-TF. The 10 TB ioDrive Octal features double the ioMemory capacity and density, integrating eight 1.28 TB MLC ioMemory modules in a single double-wide PCIe device, to deliver increased capacity in the small footprint.

“The 10 TB ioDrive Octal packs increased raw flash capacity in a server, enabling customers to accelerate even very large data sets with an intelligent and efficient ioMemory solution,” said David Flynn, Fusion-io Chairman and CEO. “Previously, a 4U server could contain 10 ioDrive Duos for 20 TB of total capacity, but now up to four 10 TB ioDrive Octals can be integrated into a 4U server, such as the HP ProLiant DL585 G7, delivering 40 TB of total capacity. We believe that with the 10 TB ioDrive Octal, even highly data-intensive organizations can house increased amounts of data directly within the server to simultaneously accelerate their business and the efficiency of their data center.”

In response to frequently asked questions from users on how and which recording medium should be used to retain important data to the highest possible standard, JVC Advanced Media U.S.A. Inc., the world’s leading manufacturer of optical discs, announced today the product launch of “Archival Grade DVD-R”.  We are also responding to increasing demand to retain data that requires a certain period of storage or is obliged to be submitted to administrative bodies, government bodies, etc.

jvc_archival_grade_dvd-r.jpg

JVC Advanced Media has taken this issue, i.e. the retention of data for a long period of time or submission, as a social responsibility.  The Company has started developing products that comply with ISO/IEC10995, which defines the test method to estimate the archival lifetime of the DVDR.

“Archival Grade DVD-R” is manufactured by exclusive production lines in Japan.  Quality control is set at the highest level and inspection frequency is approximately 10 times greater compared to standard products.  This allows the minimum fluctuation of the products needed to meet users’ strict storage requirements.

Super Talent Technology, a leading manufacturer of Flash storage solutions and DRAM memory modules, today announced the USB 3.0 Express ST4, a USB 3.0 flash drive with 4 channels of flash and impressive performance.

super_talent_usb_3_express_st4.jpg

Super Talent is known for providing the fastest USB 3.0 flash drives available today. Many of our record holding designs are based on SSD controllers which offer extreme performance but at a substantial cost. Unlike SSD based flash drives that must be converted to USB using an additional bridge chip, native USB 3.0 drives use a single controller enabling designs to be smaller and less expensive.

Native USB 3.0 solutions are becoming more prevalent in the market and the Express ST4 marks our first native controlled 4-channel USB 3.0 product. With 4 channels of flash, the Express ST4 enables higher speeds, larger capacity points and of course more performance than its two channel counterparts.
