Samsung Acquires SSD Tech Developer Nvelo
Nvelo's "SSD caching" systems utilized for speeding up retrieval of data in devices.
Samsung has announced the purchase of Santa Clara, California-based Nvelo, a developer of SSD technology.
The latter develops next-generation SSD storage solutions, as well as managing and optimizing the use of solid state drives within subsystems; it's a form of "SSD caching" and is used by consumers, as well as enterprises. SSD caching essentially increases the speed of obtaining data in a variety of devices such as smartphones and desktops from both hard drives and SSDs.
The details of the deal failed to divulge financial details. That said, Samsung did confirm that all of Nvelo's staff and the firm's technological developments will be handed over to its new parent company.
"The acquisition of Nvelo will enable us to extend our ability to provide SSD related storage solutions to customers. We are pleased with this transaction as the employees of Nvelo share our vision to take SSD storage into the next-generation of performance and reliability," said Young-Hyun Jun, executive vice president of Flash product & technology, Device Solutions, Samsung Electronics.
Responding to increasing demands, Samsung is said to be investing between $3 to 4 billion in an Austin, Texas-based plant to upgrade chip-making production line facilities.

That in itself makes Samsung more American than a lot of local companies.
hahahahahah when i made the cursor hover over the link, i read "SSD caching" (in quotes) and i knew this was Zak. No one else could possibly do such a dumb thing.
I remember when he wrote "Advanced Encryption Standard", stating it as if it's something new.
Or perhaps Tom's quoting them... uh?
On a side note... "This enterprise ad is provided to you by Tom's" ... ¬¬
