SolidFire is an American flash storage and software development company. It is based in Boulder, Colorado and employs over 400 people worldwide. It has additional offices in Australia, England, Japan, South Korea and Singapore.
History
Founded in 2010 by Dave Wright, Solidfire originally sold its software-defined storage to private cloud storage companies. Previously, Wright was the first engineer hired by GameSpy, which was later sold to IGN. He was chief architect at IGN through its merger with Fox Interactive Media when IGN was acquired by News Corp, Fox Interactive Media’s parent company, in 2005. Wright left the company and founded Jungledisk which was acquired by Rackspace in 2008. He then created SolidFire the following year and launched the company in stealth mode in 2010.
The company relocated its headquarters from Atlanta, Georgia to Boulder in 2011, and in 2012, the company began selling its arrays to both private and public consumers.
In October 2014, SolidFire received $82 million in its Series D funding round, the technology start-up industry’s largest venture capital round of the year in Colorado. The company has raised a total of $150 million in funding since its establishment from investors including Samsung, New Enterprise Associates and Valhalla Partners.

Slide Over
by: Ready For The WorldI just saw you look at me,
Tell me do you want what you see
And I was kind of wonderin'
why you're sitting alone - you're just too cute
Is it that you want me to go over there,
If you don't...
you better come over here.
Slide over, baby.
Slide over, baby
Don't you want me to get real nice and close.
Baby I will,
You're the kind of girl who wants the male to the work,
You gotta change.
Why look as though there's fear
cause baby, I know why you're here.
Slide over, baby.
Slide over, baby
Slide over, it's getting to hard for me.
Slide over.
I lie in my room alone,
The other side of my bed is so cold,
I might be only 19, but baby...
you can still grab a hold
I bet you wouldn't mind it
if I held you tight... all night
Slide over... baby.
Slide over.
Slide over, it's getting to hard for me.
Slide over.
