Eric Herzog, Violin Memory | Flash Memory Summit 2014
Eric Herzog, CMO & SVP of Alliances, Violin Memory joined theCUBE host, Jeff Frick, outside of Flash Memory Summit in Santa Clara, CA to discuss the latest news from Violin Memory and thee ability to use flash when reconstructing applications. This week’s Flash Memory Summit expo featured a lot of new products, both from industry veterans and less known vendor that are trying to make a name for themselves. Toshiba, the inventor of NAND flash – memory that can retain data even when it’s not powered – celebrated the 25th anniversary of the technology with the debut of the PX-Series, a new line of SSDs designed to enable some of the more widely-seen flash use studies in the enterprise. The PX03AN is the company’s entry level drive, designed to accommodate some of the more resource intensive processes in this range such as boot storms. It is available with either 55, 120, 240 or 480GB of capacities in a 7mm 2.5-inch form-factor. The PX02AM mid-range device focuses more on reliability, comes in capacities of 100, 200 and 400GB, and is meant to power high-tier server applications that use up more resources. The most expensive SSD is the PX02SM, which comes in capacities of 200, 400, 800GB1 and 1.6TB2. It’s the first enterprise flash product by Toshiba to use eMLC NAND and is supposed to be used primarily for high performance computing/ #theCUBE #Violin #SiliconANGLE #Flash
