"Fusion-io to Acquire IO Turbine"

Combined Software Solution to Significantly Enhance Performance

in Virtualized Environments

Aug. 4, 2011

"... today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement

to acquire IO Turbine, Inc., a provider of caching solutions for

virtual environments. Under terms of the agreement, Fusion-io will

pay up to approximately $95 million, subject to purchase price

adjustments, for all outstanding securities of IO Turbine."

.....

"... The integration of IO Turbine’s software into Fusion's platform

will enable traditional storage infrastructures to keep up with

the increasing demands of virtualized servers and expands Fusion's

market opportunities to both new and existing customers."

....

"The IO Turbine software takes advantage of flash local to the server,

delivering improved performance for virtualized workloads by holding

data close to where it is used. This approach avoids the need for

expensive performance-oriented networked storage systems and memory

appliances that struggle to deliver performance from the far end of

a network, instead allowing enterprises to use cost optimized shared

storage systems."
