Third I/O

Third I/O Inc. specializes in high speed bandwidth and supercomputing solutions. Our flagship product is Iris; a patent-pending hybrid data storage and enterprise server platform. Iris was benchmarked in early 2007 at nearly 8 GB/s and 778,000 I/O operations per second, which is significantly higher performance than any publicly stated Fibre Channel storage performance. It was Third I/O's pleasure to introduce Iris to the world in September 2007's Intel Developer's Forum as the worlds first publicly demonstrated 8 Gb/s Fibre Channel storage device. The company is headquartered in Austin, TX.
