Micron Technologies announces the purchase of Virtensys, a Manchester-based PCIe-sharing virtualisation solutions provider. 

micron virtensysThe 2 companies do not provide additional details of the agreement. 

The purchase will result in the folding of Virtensys virtualisation software with Micron storage, resulting in the more efficient virtualisation of NAND flash storage in enterprise systems. 

PCIe card units contain large amounts of NAND flash and replace spinning disk drives in systems demanding a high number of transactions per minute (or second), such as big data analytics workloads. It bypasses traditional storage overhead by reducing latencies, increasing throughput and enabling more efficient data processing. 

Micron currently offers a PCIe solution-- the RealSSD P320h, in 350 or 700GB capacities.
