Skyera Sells First Units of Skyhawk Enterprise Solid-State Storage Systems at Less Than $3 per Gigabyte
Skyera announced initial unit sales of its Skyhawk series of enterprise solid-state storage systems as part of Skyera's Early Access Program. These units clearly mark the first time that enterprise customers will be able to utilize low-cost 19/20nm solid-state technology as a direct replacement for traditional hard disk drives.
Skyera Skyhawk features a compact half-depth 1u form factor with 44 terabytes of up to 1 million IOPS, low-latency native capacity to satisfy the most-demanding Big Data, analytics and virtualization applications. Skyhawk was developed from the ground up to extend the life amplification of the latest generation of MLC Flash and to deliver a solution at a system price of less than $3 per gigabyte, in line with hard disk-based enterprise storage systems.
"Our first revenue achievement represents an historical milestone for Skyera and for the solid-state market," said Radoslav Danilak, CEO of Skyera. "We are excited about the enthusiasm that our disruptive technology has generated and that customers are paying for early access units. We are looking forward to fulfilling the remaining orders with General Availability of Skyhawk next quarter."
Skyera will be demonstrating the latest Skyhawk capabilities at the upcoming Gartner Data Center Conference, December 3-6 at The Venetian Resort Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada – booth 550. As an exhibitor, Skyera joins some of the world's leading technology and service providers, plus 47 Gartner analysts on-site.
