December 19, 2012 11:08 AM
Samsung’s acquisition of caching vendor NVELO hints that SDD caching may be moving from servers to desktops.NetApp Quietly Absorbs CacheIQ
November 20, 2012 05:42 PM
NetApp has acquired flash-memory caching startup CacheIQ and says it will discontinue CacheIQ's product line, but it isn't saying much about why.GridIron Systems: Mining Big Data 'Gold' in a Flash
January 12, 2012 09:27 AM
Trends in the IT industry sometimes resemble gold rushes as vendors pan for revenue "nuggets." The use of solid state devices (SSDs)--most notably, flash memory--is the central point of one of these, but just as with the real 19th century gold rushes in California and Alaska, not all prospectors (that is, vendors) will be successful. Where the claims are staked can make all the difference in the world, and GridIron Systems is staking one with a focus on accelerating big data analyses.Blue Coat Triples Cache Performance
September 14, 2011 10:30 AM
A leader in the WAN optimization controller market, Blue Coat Systems is supercharging its CacheFlow 5000 appliance with more than three times greater throughput and cache storage in the same 4U footprint. Targeted at service providers, and now shipping with IPv6 support, the upgrade is intended to address the explosion of rich Web 2.0 content, especially videos and large files that are "severely straining service provider networks, making it challenging to both provide a top-quality user experience and contain bandwidth costs," says the company.LSI SSD Caching Software 2.0: The Write Stuff
August 10, 2011 08:00 AM
The second generation of LSI's caching software for its MegaRAID 9260, 9261 and 9280 series 6-Gbps SATA+SAS controller cards can now do writes and should "significantly accelerate application I/O performance of hard-disk-drive-based arrays by intelligently caching frequently accessed, or 'hot spot,' data to solid-state drives (SSDs)," says the company.Content Switches
