"Virtium Solid State Storage and Memory (formerly known as Virtium Technology) is a privately held American maker of semiconductor memory and solid-state disk SSD products for data storage in industrial/machine-to-machine designs and embedded systems Company Overview of Virtium Technology, Inc. (including small-footprint embedded designs) and Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) applications. Worried About Your SSD Data? Virtium Has You Covered! The name Virtium is derived from the word virtue. Description Virtium was co- founded in 1997 by Phu Hoang, a refugee from Vietnam, and Chinh Nguyen. Hoang lived on a boat before immigrating to North America and learned English in a refugee camp. Former Vietnamese refugee now heads major Rancho company Since co-founding Virtium, Hoang has been acknowledged for his entrepreneurship Business Journal Honors Excellence in Entrepreneurship 3 Irvine professionals among Entrepreneur of the Year winners and innovation. Free to Innovate -- Tech Manufacturing Founder Found His Spot After Flight from Vietnam Headquartered in Rancho Santa Margarita, California, USA, and with operations elsewhere in North America, Europe and Asia, Virtium designs, builds and supports its products in the United States. Virtium's primary products are memory modules and solid-state drives that use flash storage and are designed primarily with the SATA and PCI Express interfaces. Virtium Finds Industrial Trends Entering Consumer Market – Flash Memory Summit 2015 Update Virtium introduces embedded SATA SSDs Virtium was among the first to apply proprietary programming sequences that “bridge” between single-level-cell (SLC) and multi- level-cell (MLC) types of flash memory used in SSDs, thus drawing on the reliability of the former and the cost efficiencies of the latter. Virtium Introduces M.2 SSDs In 2016, Virtium introduced self-encrypting SSDs—the first family of industrial-grade SSDs with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256) self-encryption available across all major drive form factors and designed for data security and data integrity. Encrypted SSDs Take Aim at Industrial IoT Applications Those self-encrypting SSDs placed first in the Board, Modules & Embedded Systems category of the ECN magazine 2017 Impact Awards. ECN IMPACT Awards 2017 Announces Winner Placements Also in 2016, Virtium became one of the first industry vendors to market eUSB 3.0 storage modules in the ultra- small, 10-pin form factor. Virtium debuts TuffDrive, its eUSB 3.0 embedded storage modules Later the same year, Virtium doubled the top capacity of its very-low-profile (VLP) RDIMM and Mini-RDIMM DDR4 memory modules to 64GB—at the time the highest capacity for industrial-embedded memory modules. Electronic Design’s Products of the Week Virtium in September 2017 debuted its StorFly M.2 NVMe SSDs supporting industrial temperatures, or I-Temp (−40 ºC to +85 ºC), and drawing an industry-low 3 W of power. Virtium Introduces NVMe SSDs Virtium also introduced in 2017 its StorFly-ICS concept that leverages gateway/access point compute and storage solutions to enable IIoT applications with intelligent, connected storage (ICS) not possible via cloud storage. Virtium StorFly-ICS offers intelligent, secure storage for the IIoT The company in 2019 expanded its StorFly family of SSDs to include industrial 3D NAND-based drives Virtium Offers Industrial 3D NAND-based SSDs to Tackle Embedded, Industrial IoT Applications, followed by the StorFly-XR (for extra rugged) line of highly ruggedized SSDs using 3D NAND flash and XR-DIMM memory modules designed for military and aerospace applications. High-reliability solid-state drives (SSDs) for avionics and reconnaissance data introduced by Virtium Virtium expanded the StorFly family further in 2019 with the addition of a four-terabyte SSD with industrial-temperature support and integrated data protection. Virtium's StorFly Industrial SSD Now Comes in 4TB Capacity; Delivers I-Temp Support, Integrated Data Protection The company in early 2020 brought to market its free StorKit SSD software suite for SSD qualification, migration from SLC and MLC to higher-density flash, and monitoring and maintenance of drives deployed locally or remotely. Virtium Releases StorKit SSD Software Tools, Speeds Migration from SLC / MLC to Higher-Density Flash Memory Also in 2020, Virtium announced it expanded the StorFly SSD family through the addition of higher-capacity 2.5-inch SATA, M.2 SATA and M.2 NVMe drives with I-Temp support. Virtium expands StorFly line of industrial-grade SSDs to protect IIoT data in extreme temperatures To address industrial-grade storage's increasing role in edge computing, Virtium later in 2020 collaborated with SolidRun to prequalify select Virtium SSDs, memory and SSD software for SolidRun computer-on-module and network computing platform solutions targeted at 5G communications systems. SolidRun and Virtium Charge Toward 5G Future In August 2015, Virtium secured investment from L Squared Capital Partners L Squared Capital of Newport Beach invests in storage, memory firm and added David Bradford and Tim Leyden to its board of directors. Court Square Capital Partners acquired L Squared Capital's investment in Virtium in May 2019. Court Square backs next-gen IoT data storage, memory developer Virtium Products and specialization Virtium specializes in memory modules, advanced components, flash-based solid-state drives (for local and remote storage), and supporting software. Virtium ruggedized DDR3 MicroDIMM industrial SSDs Those product lines were expanded in 2015 with multiple additions to the company's industrial-embedded systems category. Electronic Design’s Products of the Week The company's memory and storage products employ a variety of form factors and interfaces, including DIMM DDR2 blade modules eye embedded computing Virtium Starts Offering DDR4 VLP RDIMM Samples memory modules for DDR3L, MiniDIMM and ECC SoDIMM SODIMM combines SATA SSD, DDR SDRAM technologies memory modules for DDR3L, and M.2, Virtium Introduces M.2 SSDs mSATA, CFast, Slim SATA, CompactFlash, PCI Express Mini Card, and eUSB SLC SSDs. Competitors include SMART Modular Technologies and Swissbit.

"Orazio Gentileschi, c, c. 1623, oil on canvas, 63 ½ by 89 ¼ in (161.3 by 226.7 cm.) Danaë is a circa 1623 oil on canvas painting by the Italian artist Orazio Gentileschi. It is an example of an Italian Baroque painting and is now in the collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum. The painting was commissioned in 1621 by Giovanni Antonio Sauli who had invited Gentileschi to Genoa. Gentileschi painted a number of works for Sauli besides the Danäe, including a Penitent Magdalen and a Lot and his Daughters. The painting draws together the Caravaggesque naturalism that influenced Gentileschi's earlier work with the Tuscan lyricism he later developed. Artemisia Gentileschi - Danaë The subject of the painting is the ancient Greek myth of Danaë, which tells of how Zeus, king of the gods, visited Danaë in a shower of gold, from which union Perseus was born. The myth is regarded as a forerunner of the Christian belief in the Annunciation, the divine conception of Christ. Orazio's daughter Artemisia Gentileschi portrayed Danaë earlier. The painting was auctioned at Sotheby's New York on 28 January 2016. It was the most important Baroque painting to be offered for sale in decades, and purchased for US$30,500,000 by the Getty. It is to be hung alongside Gentileschi's Lot and his Daughters.Grosvenor, Bendor.
