Nexgen Distribution has nailed down a deal with enterprise flash-based storage provider Violin Memory to distribute its products in Australia and New Zealand.
Violin makes a big play about its enterprise-ready memory arrays, and goes in hard about its suitability for high-performance, big data applications.
The company – which has an especially Flash-intensive, website - was founded in 2005 and is headquartered in California. The core of its product is a switched memory fabric developed and patented by the company founder, Jon Bennett (no relation to the Jon Bennett Ramsay, of abduction fame).
Customers include AOL, which has recently installed a 50TB memory array, a solution the company claims boosted its database performance by 400 percent.
Alongside the memory arrays, Violin has partnered with Toshiba to produce NAND flash-based PCIe cards for the server environment. These cards range from 1.37TB to 11TB in three different form factors.
Nexgen takes on the responsibility for distributing Violin immediately.
Its MD, John Walters, was not available for comment.
