May 5, 2008 - Vista Solutions Corporation signs a Partner Agreement with Xiotech, supplier of a game changing storage technology. We identified Xiotech through our working relationship with Holonyx. Holonyx is engaged in product development with Xiotech. Here's the story you won't see in the technical trade rags. Seagate put together a storage Skunk Works called the Advanced Storage Architecture Group (ASA) with the mission of figuring out how to prolong the life of hard drives and increase their performance. After almost 1M hours of R&D and 75 hardware and software patents they designed a self-healing SAN that scales near linearly to 1 Petabyte, is 25% faster than the competition, is designed to last 10 years, and requires no service contract for 5 years. Interestingly EMC got wind of it and told Seagate to get rid of the technology since it was a threat to their service revenue which is 37% annually. To make the point EMC redirected a large hard drive order to another hard drive manufacturer. Seagate got the hint and shopped ASA around and none of the other Tier-1 vendors wanted it for the same reason. One smaller vendor that has been around for over 10 years did buy it for $40M and has brought the technology to market this month. That would be Xiotech.
