Woz Rejoins Flash-Memory Pioneers at New Startup

The founders of Fusion-io, one of the first companies to bring flash memory chips to the data center, have a new company called Primary Data — and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak has jumped aboard.

The oft-quoted Silicon Valley veteran is joining Primary Data as chief scientist, a role he played at Fusion-io before SanDisk acquired that company last summer for $1.1 billion.

Primary Data announced the news at Demo Fall 2014, a tech-focused Silicon Valley conference, where its founders explained the company’s product plans for the first time.

Primary Data plans to extend the concept of virtualization more broadly in data centers. As developed by companies such as VMware, virtualization helps save money on server systems by allowing them to run multiple applications and operating systems simultaneously. More recently, companies have tried similar approaches in data storage and networking, trying to reduce hardware costs and deploy applications faster.

Primary Data says it has developed a way to virtualize application data that makes it independent of the underlying storage hardware.
