Virident's 140% Growth Gobbling Up $4 Billion Flash Storage Market


Under its CEO, Mike Gustafson’s leadership, Virident Systems — it makes “enterprise PCIe SSD based on Storage Class Memory” – is growing twice as fast as the $4 billion market for so-called server-side flash storage. The nice thing about Virident’s growth is that it flows from giving customers more of what they want — high performance and low latency.

This achievement has attracted the attention of Seagate — a big player in the storage market. And on February 4, it bought a $40 million stake in Virident and inked “an OEM deal between the two companies that will let customers buy Virident’s product through Seagate’s channels,” according to Gustafson.

How GM Makes $1 Billion A Year By Recycling Waste


If one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, General Motors has the revenue to prove it. The automaker generates an eye-popping $1 billion a year reusing or recycling materials that would otherwise be thrown away — everything from scrap steel and paint sludge to cardboard boxes and worn-out tires. It’s an unexpected but welcome revenue stream that comes from rethinking its approach to waste reduction.

Valentine's Day 2013: What's Behind This $18.6 Billion Holiday (Infographic)


Comparing a sweetheart to a summer’s day may be one of the last pieces of lovemaking available without a price tag. Valentine’s Day–a holiday with origins in a third-century beheading, stoning and ritualized beating of a recalcitrant priest–is today a $18.6 billion event. For retailers, it’s the first bit of pleasantness since Christmas; the period between the two holidays is usually marked by a lull and few shoppers. More than $4 billion will be spent on jewelry alone, at places like Tiffany and Signet. And, according to the National Retail Federation, an equal number of shoppers will head to department stores (a boon for Macy’s and J.C. Penney’s) as to discount outlets. Though, we pity the lover who shops exclusively at Wal-Mart.

SIA: 2012 Semiconductor Revenues Just Miss $300 Billion


The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) today issued its year-end release for 2012. This is the third time world semiconductor revenues flirted with $300 billion but failed to reach that number. Year-over-year sales ended 2.7% below those of 2011. This is a bit better than Objective Analysis’ year-ago projection of a decline as large as 5%, but significantly worse than any other forecast of that vintage, all of which projected growth of over 2% for the year.

App Distributor Conduit in Talks for a Billion-Dollar Acquisition, Say Reports


The Israeli tech community is abuzz with talk that Conduit, which distributes toolbar-based Web apps, is in talks to be acquired, potentially by Microsoft or Google, for more than a billion dollars. Multiple outlets have reported on the supposed sales talks, and while the company hasn’t confirmed them it has gone on the record saying it won’t sell for less than $1 billion.

(The comment came from Shaul Olmert, Conduit’s chief marketing officer who is incidentally the son of former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.) Conduit makes significant money from revenue share of search ads delivered from its toolbars, which it switched to Bing from Google in January. Sources said the San Mateo, Calif.-based company, which runs much of its operations in Israel, expects revenue of close to $300 million in 2011, so a billion-dollar sale price would not be insane.
