Violin Memory and its super-fast Flash memory service is hurtling toward a highly successful IPO.
Bloomberg Businessweek reported today that the Silicon Valley company filed to go public under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) act. This allows Violin Memory to keep its public offering under the radar until three weeks prior to the roadshow; for this reason, it has not yet appeared in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
According to Bloomberg, the valuation on the table is a sky-high $2 billion.
