History
Since its creation in 1978, Texas Memory Systems (TMS) has been on the forefront of architecting, manufacturing, and delivering to market The World’s Fastest Storage®. The RamSan® line of TMS storage products represents the most trusted and broadest line of solid state storage systems in the market today. TMS RamSan® products are deployed in over 35 countries around the world and in the most mission critical environments on the planet. Installations that can only trust Texas Memory Systems and the RamSan® product line to accelerate the most critical aspects of their data centers include major financial exchanges, the world’s largest telecoms, secure government data centers, U.S. Department of Defense installations, enterprise grade clouds, eCommerce sites, major search engines, and enterprise data centers containing mission critical applications. Within these environments, TMS RamSan® products are used to accelerate mission critical database installations such as Oracle, Microsoft, or Sybase and business applications that are essential to the success of the business.
Texas Memory Systems was founded in 1978 to address a need in seismic processing for the oil and gas industry and as that market shifted in the early 1980’s, so did a young and always nimble TMS. Sensing changes in the market, TMS refocused its efforts on digital signal processing (DSP) products and began a foray into true high performance in the form of PCI cards and rackmount systems. More market shifts had TMS noticing that its niche focus on high performance processing had very useful applications beyond government applications and high performance computing. Hard drives began showing a weakness in the form of mechanical latency and their inherent inability to keep up with the performance gains of server CPUs. The door to the enterprise data center opened and TMS introduced its first enterprise RAM rackmount systems in early 2000. In 2007, TMS introduced its first NAND Flash based system in an effort to bridge the gap between the performance of RAM and the capacity of hard drives. In 2009, TMS surprised the market with two new unique groundbreaking products: a PCIe solid state disk that was at its core a system on a board, complete with CPU, RAM, and power to complement its storage medium and up to 450GB of usable SLC NAND Flash. The other product was a rackmount SLC NAND Flash system which offered up to 5 TB capacity. Both were applauded and heralded in the market as clear examples of Texas Memory Systems innovations.
Today, TMS continues its proud heritage of delivering DSP solutions and the RamSan® line of solid state storage with PCI Express cards and rackmount systems based on RAM and Flash media.
