Fusion-io extended the hybrid flash storage array platform it gained by acquiring NexGen Storage in April, adding a bundle that brings server caching to the array.
The Server Performance Extension (SPX) bundles provide flash from host to storage for ioControl iSCSI arrays. Fusion-io also released ioControl 3.0, an updated version of the software that enables storage quality of service (QoS) on the arrays.

When Bartholomew County, Ind. expanded its virtual desktop infrastructure, IT Director Jim Hartsook acquired a Tintri VMstore T540 hybrid storage array that mixes solid-state drives and hard disk drives for better performance and easier management, instead of expanding his legacy HDD array.
Hartsook's department supports more than 455 users in 10 geographically dispersed offices. In the summer of 2011, the department decided to expand its VMware View deployment from a 50-seat mobile training operation to more general use; it now supports around 200 users.
