Most Promising Storage Start-Ups in 2012
27 December 2011 - Editor's annual updated choice of top 15
For the second year we are ranking the top 15 most promising storage start-ups. It's not easy to classify storage start-ups as they are involved in completely different technologies (basic hardware and subsystems, de-dupe, cloud, archiving, etc). But we did it. This ranking is the result of the opinion of a journalist - not a consultant or an expert - following daily the worldwide storage industry considering of course the technology of each company, but also their most recent financial rounds of funding and their growth when available. Anybody else trying to the do the same ranking will get different results.

A Look at Coraid’s Ethernet SAN Technology: No Flash in the Pan
28 October 2011
These days, it can prove downright daunting to keep pace with the constant strides storage vendors are making in the industry. This is especially true when it comes to flash storage, a technology that has not only emerged as a major disruptor but also spawned an array of products – many of which add unnecessary complexity to enterprise-level storage environments.
Enter Coraid, which has upgraded its EtherDrive Ethernet SAN platform to support an all-flash configuration called EtherFlash. This new solution provides high performance, low-latency access to flash drives sans the bottlenecks and limitations inherent with legacy storage and Fibre Channel networks. I spoke last week with Kevin Brown, Coraid’s CEO, about how his company is breaking new ground in the SAN space and the beauty of being able to offer an enormously flexible “one tier for all” storage product.
