Whiptail, a Citrix Ready storage startup, offering 6TB SSD in 2U Rack!

The company says its product software makes the MLC flash out-perform single-level cell (SLC) flash which is inherently faster than MLC product. In fact the competing Texas Memory Systems RamSan-620, which uses SLC technology and has up to 5TB of capacity, provides much higher performance: 250,000 IOPS and 3GB/sec throughput.
Another competitor is Violin Memory with its 1010 4TB SLC flash product. This offers up to 200,000 read IOPS, with 4K blocks, a 10-year lifespan and price of less than $50/GB. Whiptail, with slower performance numbers would have to come in below this.
WhipTail envisages its product being used for running I/O-bound databases, virtualisation storage pools or e-mail systems. Up to 10,000 users could be supported with a 3TB product.
The company was founded in December 2008 and provides two other products. The WT1536HA has up to 1.5TB of capacity and offers more than 100,000 IOPS, a 1.7GB/sec bandwidth, and RAID levels of 0, 5, 6, 10 and 50, and two 1GigE or 10GigE interfaces. The WT3072HA has up to 3TB of capacity and the same IOPS, bandwidth, RAID level support, and interfaces.
