    WhipTail - MLC From Day One

    Hello Chris,

    Great article. To clarify, WhipTail has been MLC-based since day one. We are the only MLC based enterprise storage vendor in production at customer sites for over 18 months and counting.

    Along with proven performance metrics in dozens of customer sites across several use cases (including VDI, Server Virtualization, OLTP, Messaging, and Database), WhipTail is the first and only vendor to offer inline data deduplication & compression of primary storage - dramatically changing the ROI.

    WhipTail is also the first flash storage vendor to offer a Hybrid model that includes 1.5 TB of MLC based flash and 6.0 TB of SATA in a 2U appliance - making "flash for IOPS and SATA for capacity" a reality for MSRP $54,000. Key differentiator - with inline data deduplication and compression, customers can now scale both flash and SATA with the business for a dramatically reduced TCO.

    Please let me know if you have any questions!

    All the best,

    Ryan Snell
