Editor's comments from
SSD market
history.
Editor:- December 2010 - WhipTail Tech entered the SSD
market in February
2009 with rackmount SSDs with
inline
compression and dedupe - which can be cost effective compared to traditional
hard disk storage arrays
in some applications such as servers for virtual desktops.
Although
the company hadn't made a big impression on the market by the close of 2010
(having not appeared in the
the Top 20 SSD OEMs)
the direction it's going in will become a major segment in the SSD
market by 2016.
Technology pioneers don't always survive long enough to
reach the stage where the market they're in understands what they're doing - and
is big enough to sustain their business development. Having said that WhipTail
is just one of a handful of companies who get a mention in my visionary
article - this way to
the Petabyte SSD.
WhipTail enters the Top 20 SSD Companies List
- Q4 2011
Editor:- January 2012 - it took nearly 3 years - but
WhipTail made its debut appearance in the
Top 20 SSD Companies List
- based on search metrics in Q4 2011 - and the company has changed its
positioning since it first came to market - preferring to think of itself as a
provider of fast SSDs (I would call them fast-enough) rather than fastest. But
they are starting to get above the critical visibility level in a market which
now has 3x as many SSD companies as when they first entered the SSD
market. | | |
