Violin Memory, the flash memory array merchant that’s been on and off about an IPO and pulled in an $80 million D round three or four months ago, is going to be OEMing vSphere from VMware, which is majority owned by traditional storage biggie EMC.
The company is evidently cultivating an appreciation of little oddities like that. Its CEO Don Basile used to run Fusion-io.
Anyway, the OEM deal will underpin Violin’s enterprise-oriented virtualization-in-a-box widgetry for running business-critical and Big Data applications “at the speed of memory” in virtualized and cloud environments.
