Fusion-io company introduced a new line of solid state drives Fusion ioScale. Previously, these devices were only available to Fusion-io customers, equipping thousands of servers, and now the minimum party, which can be ordered, reduced to one hundred devices.
Drive ioScale, designed as an expansion card PCI Express, can be up to 3.2 TB. Price starts at $ 3.89 per gigabyte and decreases with large volume order .
Among potential buyers of Fusion ioScale are named suppliers of cloud services. The use of solid-state drives instead of hard drives can increase storage density and reliability of servers, reducing space requirements and power consumption placement. In addition, performance in a wider range of temperature and relative humidity significantly reduces operating costs.
