Western Digital Acquires Virident
Western Digital Acquires Virident Whopping $685 Million Purchase Price Disk drive maker Western Digital Corp announced on 9 September 2013 that it is buying Virident Systems, Inc. which will be merged into HGST, a wholly- owned subsidiary of Western Digital.. Virident will be acquired for approximately $685 million in cash, consisting of about $645 million in enterprise value, net of Virident’s estimated cash balance. Virident believes its integration with HGST will strengthen its marketing by leveraging HGST’s strong brand, extensive channel relationships, and global customer reach. Who is Virident? Virident is a small independent manufacturer of very high end PCIe SSDs. The company has, from the beginning, had a relentless focus on consistency of performance, which is one aspect of SSDs that has received very little attention until recently. Virident started out as a manufacturer of two high-performance dedicated appliances, one for running MySQL database software, and the other to support the open-source memcached storage network caching software. Virident and competitor Schooner both entered this market at the same time. Both found that data centers were moving away from dedicated hardware and toward virtualization, forcing both companies to revise their plans. Schooner focused on software optimization and was recently acquired by SanDisk. Virident migrated to NAND flash-based PCIe SSDs similar to, but faster than, those pioneered by Fusion-io. It was able to do this because its original appliances were based on NOR flash, a very badly-behaved technology when it comes to write cycles. Virident applied its superior understanding of flash write cycle management to NAND and achieved superior results. -

Virtual Desktop Scalability and Performance with Vmware View 5.2 and Virident Flashmax Ii Storage
VIRTUAL DESKTOP SCALABILITY AND PERFORMANCE WITH VMWARE VIEW 5.2 AND VIRIDENT FLASHMAX II STORAGE Whether you are planning to make the move to desktop virtualization or are looking to expand your existing virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), it is important that you choose the right software and storage for your enterprise environment. It is also vital to be able to add hardware and predictably scale your environment so that you know how many users you can expect to support as your VDI needs grow. Choosing VMware View 5.2 software with a fast and reliable internal storage solution, such as Virident FlashMAX II™ storage devices, can maximize performance, reduce latency, and scale predictably as you add users. In the Principled Technologies labs, we found that a single server running VMware View 5.2 virtual desktops with two low-profile Virident FlashMAX II storage devices could support 162 virtual desktops with nearly no latency to provide an excellent experience for end users. To verify how predictably and linearly this solution scales, we had only to add another server; two servers, each with two Virident devices, scaled perfectly to support 324 users. We also ran a storage-intensive recompose job on the desktops and found that Virident FlashMAX II devices could handle heavy maintenance jobs without sacrificing end-user performance. JANUARY 2013 A PRINCIPLED TECHNOLOGIES TEST REPORT Commissioned by VMware, Inc. and Virident Systems, Inc. MANY USERS, VERY LOW LATENCY, AND PREDICTABLE SCALABILITY The success of a virtual desktop environment is dependent on the number of enterprise users your solution supports, the performance and response times it provides for your users, and the ability to predict the number of users you can expect to support when you scale your hardware. -
PC Gamers Win Big
CASE STUDY Intel® Solid-State Drives Performance, Storage and the Customer Experience PC Gamers Win Big Intel® Solid-State Drives (SSDs) deliver the ultimate gaming experience, providing dramatic visual and runtime improvements Intel® Solid-State Drives (SSDs) represent a revolutionary breakthrough, delivering a giant leap in storage performance. Designed to satisfy the most demanding gamers, media creators, and technology enthusiasts, Intel® SSDs bring a high level of performance and reliability to notebook and desktop PC storage. Faster load times and improved graphics performance such as increased detail in textures, higher resolution geometry, smoother animation, and more characters on the screen make for a better gaming experience. Developers are now taking advantage of these features in their new game designs. SCREAMING LOAD TiMES AND SMOOTH GRAPHICS With no moving parts, high reliability, and a longer life span than traditional hard drives, Intel Solid-State Drives (SSDs) dramatically improve the computer gaming experience. Load times are substantially faster. When compared with Western Digital VelociRaptor* 10K hard disk drives (HDDs), gamers experienced up to 78 percent load time improvements using Intel SSDs. Graphics are smooth and uninterrupted, even at the highest graphics settings. To see the performance difference in a head-to- head video comparing the Intel® X25-M SATA SSD with a 10,000 RPM HDD, go to www.intelssdgaming.com. When comparing frame-to-frame coherency with the Western Digital VelociRaptor 10K HDD, the Intel X25-M responds with zero hitching while the WD VelociRaptor shows hitching seven percent of the time. This means gamers experience smoother visual transitions with Intel SSDs. -
