TORONTO, Dec. 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- CRN magazine has named ioFABRIC Inc. one of the year's 10 "coolest" startup companies in the data storage industry. Throughout the year, CRN identified vendors developing new storage products, classifying as startups only those that came out of stealth and unveiled their first offerings. The complete list of 10 is available at http://www.crn.com/slide-shows/storage/300079032/the-10-coolest-storage-startups-of-2015.htm.
"Every year brings the IT industry a new bumper crop of storage startups," wrote editor Joseph F. Kovar. "Toronto-based ioFABRIC in July came out of stealth mode with the unveiling of its first round of funding, and followed up a month later with the introduction of ioFABRIC Vicinity, a flash-optimized, software-defined storage solution for multi-vendor data centers."
"This has already been an extraordinary year for our company, and to be named one of the coolest startups by CRN is huge validation for our approach to transforming the efficiency and economics of storage through QoS-driven automation," said Steven Lamb, co-founder and CEO at ioFABRIC. "The entire list of vendors is well worth absorbing – there are some truly innovative and remarkable new visions for solving problems in data centers."
