OCZ Supports WhipTail Technologies with its Solid State Drive Solutions

"We are proud to support WhipTail with our enterprise class OEM SSD products," commented Ryan Petersen, CEO at the OCZ Technology Group. "WhipTail's unique Racerunner solution takes full advantage of all the benefits of solid state drives to provide their customers with an exceptional storage appliance that gives their customers a competitive advantage."

"OCZ's OEM division has provided an excellent product built to our specifications, allowing WhipTail to focus on building a better appliance, rather than having to build custom SSDs," said James Candelaria, CTO of WhipTail.

OCZ not only offers its industry-leading SSDs direct to the consumer market, but also empowers its partners, such as WhipTail, who are able to take advantage of OCZ's hardware expertise in conjunction with its own solutions for enterprise use. Making use of the latest SSD technology, WhipTail is able to configure a high-end server product designed to maximize throughput of data intensive applications for databases and virtualization centers.

As a specialized supplier of mass storage combined with data acceleration software, WhipTail's Racerunner utilizes OCZ's SSDs as building blocks into a highly reliable and performance oriented platform that meets stringent quality requirements. OCZ's enterprise class OEM SSDs are tailored to a wide spectrum of applications, along with high shock, temperature, and vibration resistance in a form factor much more compact than spinning hard disc arrays.
