- editor mentions on StorageSearch.com
- editor's comments: September 2011 -
NVELO entered the SSD
market in in August 2010 and was an early supplier in the market
for SSD specific software.
The company - operates in the consumer part of the
SSD caching / auto
tiering market.
Many other companies now compete in this part of
the market too.The SSD software acceleration market will fragment into several
different parts:- consumer vs enterprise, OS, support for virtual machines etc.
Although some ISVs sell directly to end users - most have business models which
purport to sell to SSD oems - although in reality -
storage history
has shown that most successful new storage software companies get
acquired by hardware
companies.
The type of software sold by NVELO and others could
transform the notebook
SSD market in 2012 - following 6 years of high promises and low
achievements which didn't set the SSD consumer market on fire.

in August 2010 -
NVELO launched
Dataplex - a software product
aimed at PC oems - which provides
SSD ASAP
functionality inside a
notebook.
Dataplex will begin shipping from select Tier 1 PC OEMs in 2011. NVELO
is currently in discussions with leading
HDD and
SSD vendors to enable
aftermarket sales and bundling options for Dataplex, and has begun development
of an enterprise version of Dataplex for server systems.
In July 2011 -
NVELO
announced it had $6.6
million in series A funding to support its business development in the PC
segment of the SSD
caching / SSD ASAP software market. Equity investors include
SSD controller company
- Cadence .
In
September 2011
- OCZ launched its
Synapse
Cache Series 2.5" SATA SSDs for Windows 7 environments. The new SSDs
(64GB / 128GB, R/W speeds upto 510/550MB/s, 80,000 IOPS) integrate
NVELO's
Dataplex
cache / SSD ASAP
software to dynamically manage the SSD in conjunction with standard
hard disk drives. When
used to support a pre-existing terabyte hard drive - the overall performance for
popular PC benchmar tasks can be 4x to 6x faster - as the
software learns the where the hot data is for that user's PC - according to
benchmarks and data in
OCZ's
related white paper (pdf)
. No data migration or OS installation is required.
In December 2012 -
Samsung
acquired NVELO. |
