472:(SAN) environments first released in 2006. Incipient held at least five storage virtualization patents with the most significant patent, titled "Fast-path for performing data operations," covering split-path architecture for block level storage virtualization in scalable and highly-available switching fabrics. In 2006, Incipient raised $ 24 million in Series D financing bringing the total capital raised to $ 79 million, and in 2008 raised an additional $ 15.6 million in Series E funding. The acquired software and IP would allow TMS to incorporate a storage virtualization solution into their portfolio by either clustering existing RamSan SSDs, enabling intelligent storage tiering with disk-based systems, or easing migration from disk-based systems. In the announcement, TMS indicated that it had not acquired any interest in Incipient, Inc. and that the two companies would remain separate.

then store the result back to the SAM system for analyzing. Adding the DSP processor into the storage system itself meant that the data could be stored, processed, and analyzed all within the SAM system itself, relieving the host systems from processing duties. With this change in product focus, the SAM product line became known for DSP more than for SSD. The company would release more DSP systems under the SAM brand name in the 1990s: The SAM-2000 (1990), the SAM-300/350, and the SAM-450 (1997). The SAM-300, a 512 MB Solid State Disk, is notable as being a reference high-speed data store to optimize and benchmark other bottlenecks in computing systems, such as

would go only to memory just like DataSynch mode, but a background task would continually backup the data stored in memory to the hard disk drives offering the benefit of always having the user data backed up similar to Triple-Mirror mode. Three weeks later, on July 29, 2003 TMS announced the RamSan-330 which included the same exact specifications as the 320, but optimized for a new use case. The 330 could be connected to servers, switches, and storage and would be transparent to the host
358:. It would automatically cache frequently accessed blocks, improving read and write performance of any attached storage. It offered user-configurable write-through, write-back, and read-ahead cache modes. The 330 was demonstrated accelerating a Digi-Data STORM at CeBIT on March 22, 2004. The 320 was refreshed and released as the RamSan-325 on November 9, 2004, and doubled the available capacity up to 128 GB.

A cost-reduced 3U enclosure, the RamSan-300 was announced on
October 16, 2006. It could achieve a maximum performance of 200,000 IOPs and 1.5 GB/s bandwidth, and the memory configurations were limited to 16 or 32 GB. This product, along with the RamSan-400, was the foundation for the Oracle

to address the single-host market. The XP-15, XP-30, XP-35, and XP-100 products were released to the market and were architecturally modeled after the SAM systems.

The product line was expanded with the addition of a new 1U entry level RamSan-120 on
December 7, 2004. The 120 implemented the DRAM in a RAID configuration to increase reliability, and was only offered in an 8 GB configuration. It delivered 70,000 IOPs and up to 400 MB/s bandwidth

A replacement for the 325, the RamSan-400 was announced on July 11, 2005. The interfaces were updated to support 4 Gb Fibre
