OCZ Technology Group released the Deneva 2 SSDs quite a while ago, and those very SSDs are getting a new service contract, so to speak.

Months after PSSC Labs Systems called upon their services, the Deneva 2 solid state drives have a new client: Fujitsu.

More precisely, the storage devices will be used in San Velocity, the newest NuVola Private Cloud Platform Solution Appliance.

"The introduction of the SAN Velocity powered by Fujitsu appliance gives our customers a self-optimizing, solid state storage solution that immediately improves application performance in the customer's SAN," said Vic Herring, vice president of sales and marketing, FFNA.

"What this means is customers can easily upgrade their outdated storage caching methods of most frequently and recently used blocks to a fully automated, high precision solid state storage appliance purpose built for large enterprise and cloud environments."

SAN velocity uses high-quality server hardware and Assurance Storage's ApplicationSmart software for intelligent, automatic data cache and tier management. I/O intensive applications are optimized too.

Basically, business critical applications like OLTP, database applications and storage cache management should benefit.

"We are excited to partner with both Assurance Storage and Fujitsu to deploy our Deneva 2 solid state drives in their new private cloud appliance," said Alex Mei, CMO of OCZ Technology.

"As more and more businesses face the ever increasing challenges associated with managing and processing massive amounts of data, our SSD technology is the ideal fit for this exciting tiered storage solution which addresses database and cloud applications head on."

"The Assurance ApplicationSmart software provides the ability to utilize FLASH technologies in tera-scale for fast access of the most frequently read data," said Steve Visconti, president and CEO at Assurance. "With a solution this precise, automated and scalable offers for the first time the ability to design flexible storage architectures better utilizing new technologies such as PCIe NAND Flash and SSDs as an effective Solid State Storage tier."
