Fusion-io is known for its high performance PCIe storage products and IO Turbine is offering technology for using flash storage for caching data in a virtualized enterprise environment.
FORBES: The Enormous Flash: New Opportunities and Announcements for Solid State Storage
Mobile has been fraught with issues of caching sensitive data, incomplete encryption and simple mistakes in coding.
Provisioning more bandwidth from the satellites is not the answer without also considering land-based services and on-ship clouds for caching of data.
FORBES: Cruise Ship Communications for Passengers Is About to Change
After installing the SSD and software, the SanDisk ReadyCache solution's advanced caching algorithms automatically manage data by caching frequently used files to improve overall performance2.

Of course the total energy used by a hard disk drive depends upon the actual usage and power saving modes, and caching of data can reduce the energy used by a HDD in a computer system.
FORBES: Seagate Discontinuing 7,200 RPM Drives--A Focus on Capacity?
Write caching would store data to be written on the HDD in flash memory initially until enough data was in the flash cache to do an efficient write to the HDD disks.
FORBES: New Seagate Solid State Hybrid Drive is Faster and Vaster
Also, the LSI WarpDrive card's very low overhead consumption of server processor and DRAM memory resources enables even higher performance by leaving these resources available for useful application processing and data caching.
Netflix saves money and time and offers higher quality streaming by replicating and caching its content at data centers across the U.S. (and now Canada) to be as close to its customers as possible.
Apparently this is an actual transfer of data rather than simple caching of content.
FORBES: Will A Fusion Drive Approach Become Widespread in Computers?
Ordinary databases and grid may be too slow, but ScaleOut Software stores data in memory on server farms or uses distributed caching on compute grids, to eliminate bottlenecks and reduce latency.
FORBES: Big Data Analyzed Fast In Memory -- For Finance, Online Dating, Home Shopping Network
The fourth tier is an Edge Server that brings in contextual data, tracks and analyzes interactions through APIs, provides caching, and supports real time analytics to operationalize all available signals.
Perhaps the biggest gain may be in dual storage computers where a flash memory device is used for storing operating systems, software and frequently accessed content (and maybe even for write caching) while a hard disk drive provides much less expensive mass storage of user data.
This tool reduces the amount of data sent to your browser--and therefore speeds up your surfing--by caching and compressing images.
