  "Violin Memory CEO Don Basile reckons Violin can repeat what Connor
   Peripherals did in disk drives, Cisco in networking, and NetApp in
   file storage; become a billion dollar a year revenue platform
   company."


NAND chip supply security
.....
  "Toshiba has invested in Violin Memory and has a strategic partner
   relationship. SanDisk partners Toshiba in the fab business and has
   bought Pliant to get into the enterprise SSD business."
   [san-tech][02186] Violin Memoryに東芝が出資
.....
  "Samsung has invested in Fusion-io and has a relationship with
   Seagate for SSDs."
.....
  "Basile said: "We made our deal to make Toshiba our largest investor
   and strategic partner - so we will get our NAND. Steve Jobs will
   get his NAND and we will too.""

Violin, Juniper and IBM
  "Violin is working with Juniper, and has an investment from that
   company, because there is a good marketing fit between their two
   strategies.

   Basile characterises Juniper's QFabric as a network that can deliver
   deterministically low-latency, non-blocking traffic, and can scale."....

  "He says that Violin's memory array is fundamentally a networking
   device needing a network to connect to servers. This could be HP's
   vConnect backplane in a bladed server system or QFabric at a data
   centre level.

   Juniper will ship QFabric in the fall, with Violin Memory arrays to
   drive traffic through the network.

さらに続いて

   Basile said Violin is also working with IBM and its General Parallel
   File System (GPFS)" .... "We worked with GPFS for over a year to make
   this possible and achieve linear scalability. Both meta data and bulk
   data are stored on Violin's arrays with GPFS backing off trash to
   other storage. It will completely change the way people build storage
   pools."
