- editor's comments:- in June 2010 -
Violin Memory
announced
it has acquired the technology assets of of
Gear6.
In the
search volume based ranking of SSD companies which I get to see internally (we
only publish the top 10
or so) Gear6's rank was lower than that of
Platypus Technology -
a company which has been out of business for 6 years - so I'm not really
surprised Gear6 fizzled out - as a reader said to me "after they burned $24
millions and didn't have much to show for it."
In September
2008 - Gear6's blog
SSDs:
Placement and Perspective mused on the best place to put a server SSD.
That
was one of more than 10 key areas of fundamental disagreement within the SSD
industry listed in a later article (June 2010) published here on StorageSearch.com -
the SSD Heresies.
