Fusion-io teams up with Japan’s Tokyo Electron Device to launch a line of ioMemory-based products in order to respond to customer demands. These products will feature Tokyo Electron Device’s customer support. This is the most expensive Original Equipment Manufacturer agreement Fusion-io has ever signed.

“Fusion-io is excited to be working with TED, which has a long, successful history of driving the rapid market adoption of game-changing technologies among Japanese OEMs, system integrators and end users,” said Jim Dawson, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales for Fusion-io.

“In the short time that we’ve been working with TED, Fusion-io has seen significant improvement in our Japan OEM engagements, customer awareness and market momentum. We believe that we’ve identified the right Japanese partner to help grow Fusion’s business in the country.”

Businesses are looking at maximizing their return on investment and TED’s view is that “we are at a turning point where data center design is quickly evolving, and by deploying Fusion’s ioMemory technology, we are offering our customers a growth opportunity,” said Vic Amano, Tokyo Electron America Corporate Director, Corporate Vice President and General Manager, CN Business Section.

“With ioMemory, our enterprise clients can consolidate current data center operations to maximize their return on investment. Through Fusion’s highly scalable Virtual Storage Layer software infrastructure and ioSphere management platform, our customers can realize their virtualization strategies and better accommodate future growth.”

The innovations of this product line involve ioMemory-based technologies in ioDrive Octal created to maximize the performance of data intensive applications and workloads, such as financial transaction, web content, database and data mining and the ioMemory VSL that transforms even the most challenging underlying medium such as flash into a reliable and durable enterprise-grade product.

Fusion-io continues to be a leader among other cloud computing solutions provider, teaming its services and products with other giants, such as IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Dell, Facebook and MySpace.  It’s all paying off–Fusion-io’s sales figures are reportedly going as high as $200 million.

Fusion-io is renowned for its Flash-based technology, and the latest developments include the ioSphere platform, a centralized interface for deploying and managing Virtual Storage Layer-enabled solution and Flash-optimized features. At the Supercomputing 2010 event, Fusion-io launched the highest Input/Output Operations Per Second (IOPS) and bandwidth in the form of ioDrive Octal, a groundbreaking product that continues the tradition of Fusion-io as an innovator.
