I
began writing about Micro Memory in my buyers guides in the early 1990s
when they made an SBus NFS accelerator branded as the "Prestoserve"
which was listed in the
SPARC Product
Directory.
In August 2007 -
VMETRO
acquired 100% of the
shares of Micro Memory (which at that time made PCI SSDs).
Then in
October 2008,
VMETRO was itself acquired by
Curtiss-Wright.
Later:-
Mike Jadon
(who had been GM of Micro Memory for over 12 years) later resurfaced in my
attention (and that of my readers) as the CEO of
Radian Memory - which
emerged from stealth mode in
August 2015 -
with the launch of a fast 2.5" NVMe PCIe SSD - the
RMS-250.
