2013年最值得关注的10宗IPO

    闪存及高速存储系统制造商Violin Memory

    2012年10月份，Violin Memory提交了IPO申请。有些人已经给其开出了高达20亿美元的估值。Violin Memory制造闪存和高速存储系统，供应甲骨文（Oracle）和思科系统（Cisco Systems）等公司。和“大数据”沾边的公司是资本市场的大热门——2012年，风投公司对大数据公司的投资增长了一倍多——Violin的一些竞争对手，如2011年的Fusion-io，早已先行一步。Violin首席执行官唐·巴斯勒在2009年加入公司之前担任过Fusion-io的CEO。

    Violin Memory

    Violin Memory filed for an IPO in October, and some have given the company a valuation as high as $2 billion. Violin Memory manufactures flash memory and high-speed storage systems that are used by companies like Oracle and Cisco Systems. Companies involved in "big data" are popular picks to move into the capital markets -- VCs more than doubled their investments in big data firms this year -- and some Violin competitors, like Fusion-io in 2011, have already made the leap. Violin CEO Don Basile joined the company in 2009 after leaving Fusion-io, where he also served as CEO.
