"SSD adoption in the enterprise has been stalled by the cost and complexity of deploying SSD," said Mike LaPeters, Vice President of Sales. "VeloBit offers a non-disruptive, cost-effective means to scale IT performance. I look forward to using my experience from working with thousands of storage customers to help companies quickly, easily and inexpensively deploy SSD."

"Our all-software solution addresses both challenges and delivers best-in-class performance at a dramatically lower cost. There is tremendous interest in VeloBit from end-users, resellers, and OEMs. Mike's experience will prepare us for our next phase of growth."
