Fusion-io announced a 1.6 TB flash-based workstation acceleration platform aimed at video editing, computer assisted design (CAD), 4K and stereoscopic production, as well as digital intermediate (DI) finishing applications.
Based on the Fusion ioMemory platform trusted to accelerate data centers around the world, the 1.6 TB Fusion ioFX significantly improves workstation application performance. The company already offered a 420 GB model for $1,995. Pricing for the new, larger model has not been announced.

Fusion-io is proud to collaborate with industry leading software developers and hardware companies to deliver breakthrough acceleration for the tools used by professional artists worldwide.”
