Texas Memory Systems
Texas Memory Systems designs and builds the world’s fastest solid state data storage systems. Based on RAM and Flash technologies, their RamSan solid state disks (SSD) are used to accelerate mission critical applications in commercial and governmental enterprise worldwide. Their non-volatile RAM drives eliminate I/O wait time in storage and accelerate application performance in any I/O or bandwidth intensive environment. RamSan solid state disks provide superior performance to any cached RAID solution, exhibit higher levels of reliability than conventional storage, and include more high-availability features than competing SSDs.
Key Benefits:
- Low Latency. 14 microseconds of latency – 250x faster than RAID
- Maximized IOPS. Hard disks are measured in 100’s of IOPS, RAID in 10,000’s of IOPS. RamSAN is measured in 100,000’s.
- Higher Bandwidth. Up to 3GB/sec of data from a single storage appliance, over active/active 4GB FC or 4x IB interfaces.
- Lower I/O Wait Time. Incredibly low latency of the RamSan means that I/O wait time can be completely eliminated!
