Storage Field Day 3: NexGen Storage & Fusion-IO
Oops! They did it again!
Not too long after a very lucrative exit, selling LeftHand Networks to HP, John Spires created NexGen Storage, and just before they were to present at Storage Field Day, sold the company to Fusion-IO*.
Well, we got to see NexGen and Fusion-IO together, and they have a product that wants to address the bottlenecks in storage using…tada…flash storage, aka SSDs.
Below, NexGen and Fusion-IO execs give us the overview of why they are now one unified company, and why their approach matters.

The upper-SMB to midmarket is getting what I feel is very due attention from leading-edge storage vendors, and NextGen is no exception.
This product line uses PCIe-based Fusion-IO cards for blazing-fast access which only looks to improve with time.
