Too little too late? The enterprise storage game just changes today. "Power of a SAN in the palm of your hand" If FusionIO is for real, enterprise storage has just shifted gears. While storage vendors have been focusing on larger disk based systems with all the fancy features, it appears that out of nowhere a new storage solution was born today. San Diego (CA) – A new flash storage card could make huge storage area networks go the way of the floppy disk. The company’s ‘ioDrive’ combines hundreds of gigabytes of flash storage onto a small computer card and company officials claim that the tiny card could replace banks of hard drives. The card will initially have 80-640 GB of NAND flash on ONE PCI card and will scale up to 1.2 TB by the end of next year. Performance? Remember when you moved from floppy to a hard drive? FusionIO is taking us to the next level of performance just like the hard drive did when it replaced the floppy disk. VMWARE and FUSIONIO. WOW!

Looking forward to seeing this a little closer. Could potentially be great for some workloads/applications.

A bit more detail on how its implemented would be great.
