I personally have seen their device running standard benchmarks on shipping hardware at over 1 million IOPS. www.thirdio.com Also, a company called Violin Memory claims to have broken the 1 million IOPS barrier recently as well. As IBM's technology is at least a year away, I'd have to say I'm more impressed with faster solutions that are already available.
