OnX Enterprise Solutions Announces Strategic Partnership with Violin Memory

Deal Provides Clients with Enterprise-class, High-Performance Data Storage

TORONTO, Ontario, and NEW YORK, NY – April 3, 2012 — OnX

, a leading North American enterprise data center IT solutions provider, today announced that it has entered into a strategic partnership with Violin Memory, Inc. , which is pioneering the use of flash memory as primary data storage. OnX will provide its clients with business-oriented end-to-end IT solutions that incorporate Violin flash memory arrays. These solutions are targeted to meet the performance, economic and environmental requirements of the modern data center.

“Violin provides what OnX believes to be the strongest solution in the flash memory array space,” said Steve Lankard, OnX US CTO. “Under this partnership, OnX will continue to transform our clients’ data center storage infrastructures by leveraging leading-edge, but proven technologies in the marketplace. The combination of Violin and OnX removes many of the economic roadblocks to key IT initiatives.”

OnX has integrated Violin’s flash memory storage arrays to deliver dramatic performance improvements across a wide range of use cases, including: database acceleration, business critical application acceleration, virtualization and big data analytics. Violin’s systems integrate with minimal impact to existing enterprise storage architectures, requiring no changes to applications or operational processes. The unique combination of OnX solutions with Violin technology eliminates the performance bottleneck typically associated with spinning-disk storage, providing a database or storage platform that scales to millions of IOPS while lowering operating costs related to power, cooling and floor space.

“Clients continually call for higher performing solutions while simultaneously requiring agility and lower total cost of ownership,” said Ken Hoppe, vice president of Violin. “With this partnership, our joint clients will be able to rapidly deploy Violin’s flash memory storage solutions to improve enterprise application performance and create competitive advantage – based on technology designed for the modern silicon data center.”
