Cloud scaling company Violin Memory announced it has raised $35 in Series B funding from multiple investors, including new investor Juniper Networks and Toshiba America Electronic Components.  A single Violin 3140 is said to support 40TB worth of Flash storage and 10K Flash devices.

“Violin Memory is a true performance leader in high-end silicon storage,” said R.K. Anand, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Data Center Business at Juniper Networks. “We believe their innovative flash Memory Array will play an important role in delivering tiered and near-server storage capabilities to help advance the requirements of cloud computing and network-driven data center consolidation.”

Both Violin and Fusion-io develop Flash plug-in server modules which integrate with existing machines and greatly reduce the amount of required physical storage space. This is how Violin, which has been named as one of the 15 most promising storage start-ups, is scaling the cloud, and the reason it’s such a good investment for Juniper.

Violin’s $35 million Series B funding round is aimed to further realize the start-up’s ever growing potential, but that doesn’t mean Fusion-io is left behind. The company recently announced the 15 petabytes of enterprise flash shipped landmark, and is pushing its expansion to Japan and other global regions. This was done via a team-up with Tokyo Electron Device in order to launch a new line of ioMemory-based products.

Both Juniper Networks and Violin have been busybodies these past few months, though Juniper is really on a roll. The networking giant recently launched a new partner training and education program called the Continuing Education Program, announced as the best channel vendor for 2010 and partnered up with Targus Technologies.
