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.

I/O - editor mentions on STORAGEsearch.com
- editor's comments:- January 2011 - Third I/O's website looks
dormant with content which hasn't changed for a few years. That's not unusual
for companies in stealth mode.Or it may be that the company is never going to
emerge at all.
In 2007 Third I/O started drip feeding information
about its Iris software - a CD installable technology which transforms a
standard AMD server with 8Gbps FC adapters into a high performance roll your
own RAM based SSD.
In
July 2008 - the company said it had achieved 1 million IOPS on a
single quad core Opteron server connected via 14 FC ports..

the Problem with
Write IOPS
the "play it again Sam" syndrome............. |
Editor:- Flash SSD "random
write IOPS" are now similar to "read IOPS" in many of the
fastest SSDs.
So
why are they such a poor predictor of application performance?
And
why are users still buying
RAM SSDs which cost
9x more than SLC? - even when the IOPS specs look similar. |
 |
This article tells you
why the specs got faster - but the applications didn't. And why competing SSDs
with apparently identical benchmark results can perform completely
differently. ...read
