IBM to buy Texas Memory Systems: Great Minds Think Alike

We don’t like being too presumptuous here at CloudAccess.net. Our company is comprised of many smart, hard working folks and we know a thing or two about the hosting and storage industry, but we don’t like to boast about it. As we constructed the Joomla! VPMC, as we do with all our products, we chose the best technology so we could, in turn, offer the best product available. That’s why we went with Texas Memory System and their RamSan® SSD solution - a flash-based Storage Area Network (SAN), which is coveted as being “The World's Fastest Storage®”.

Great minds must think alike, because IBM also thought that TMS had created something quite unique. IT was announced today that they have “entered into a definitive agreement for IBM to acquire TMS”. Good idea, IBM. We like the way you think, but, we bought into TMS first (na na na boo boo).

All joking aside, this is an excellent move from IBM. In the IBM press release, Brian Truskowski, General Manager of IBM System Storage & Networking, said that, “solid state technology, in particular, is a critical component of our new Smarter Storage approach to the design and deployment of storage infrastructures.” It’s part of our new approach too, Brian.

The RamSan® products use solid state drives (SSDs), or memory chips, for data storage instead of the antiquated practice of mechanically writing data to spinning disks within a hard drive. This is extremely appealing to enterprise clients because it improves data storage and access speed, increases the performance of applications, lowers power consumption, lowers costs, and improves the experience for the end user.

That’s exactly why we used RamSan® when we constructed the Joomla! Virtual Private Memory Cloud (VPMC). The Joomla! VPMC comes locked and loaded with RamSan® connected through a fibre network. We also use the world's fastest Intel Xeon E7 Processors and tune the Joomla! application perfectly to take advantage of all server resources. The Joomla! VPMC is built in a secure cloud environment and used by large enterprises, governments, medical and financial institutions, and Fortune 500 companies.

Can you tell that we’re proud of the product? We have just launched the Joomla! VPMC and we've had a great amount of interest in it already. We’re confident moving forward with it because of the great work that TMS has done. It’s been a pleasure working with them and we’re looking forward to continuing the relationship with IBM.
