Violin Memory has rewritten the rules for how solid-state memory, Flash or DRAM or any memory type, can be deployed into the enterprise. Violin’s technology innovation stems from a system level view to re-architect a reliable, robust, and efficient memory system.  Most solid-state companies squeeze solid state memory into either existing form factors such as hard drives or existing  architectures such as the traditional linear bus found in most computer systems.   Thus, along two dimensions, both form-factor and level of integration, Violin has innovated with patent pending solutions.
