SAN DIEGO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 08/26/13 -- Astute Networks™, Inc., the leading provider of Networked Flash™, today announced significant company milestones as the demand for all flash storage continues to experience strong momentum. To accommodate its rapid expansion, the company today also announced the opening of its new Silicon Valley office to support the growth of its sales and marketing teams to address the increased demand for its Astute ViSX Performance Storage Appliance, a product regarded for its ability to deliver superior scalability and performance for today's business-critical applications.

Astute Networks' rapid growth can be largely attributed to significant customer acquisition in key vertical industries including federal government and military, education, healthcare, and manufacturing.

"The difference in performance between our existing storage array and the ViSX appliance was like night and day," said Hussein Sh-Ibrahim, IT Director for Professional Healthcare Resources. "The ViSX deployment was very easy and the entire solid state solution was surprisingly affordable. Productivity and efficiency is up, and our employees can now quickly access patient data like never before. Backups that used to take four to five hours now complete in less than an hour, enabling us to perform other backups that we were not able to do before. If you want fast performance quickly, get ViSX."

Other key milestones Astute Networks has achieved during the first half of 2013 include:

• The expansion of its ViSX Family of all flash performance storage appliances which make flash storage cost effective for SME and SMB customers alike
• Secured independent Demartek Lab Evaluation of Astute Networks iSCSI Flash Storage Appliance which determined that the ViSX solution, powered by its' patented DataPump Engine™ processor, speeds up application performance and delivers up to five times the performance and price/performance advantage over the competitive iSCSI-based storage arrays for I/O intensive database and VDI applications
• Expansion of the AstuteNET Partner Program with sales resources, marketing programs and support services to fuel channel sales for the industry's most innovative, cost-effective flash storage offering -- the ViSX family of Performance Storage Appliances

To date this year Astute has also received the following awards and accolades:
