EXPRESSvault combines the memory performance of DRAM and non-volatility of flash to deliver the high data throughput required by cache backup applications without degrading system performance. Leveraging Netlist’s proven NVvault (formerly known as NetVault) flash backup subsystem controller, EXPRESSvault provides reliable backup and recovery while eliminating the expense, maintenance and performance degradation associated with traditional battery backup schemes.

EXPRESSvault is for applications requiring backup of cache data or state information such as storage virtualization, RAID storage, and journaling applications requiring fast, reliable data preservation and recovery following power failures or system faults.

"Downstream data backup and recovery is well understood and is generally about long-term data protection; but cache data protection is typically about short-term application recovery and as such it presents particular challenges," said Mark Peters, senior analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group. "Not only does it demand extremely fast hardware to backup vital data during a power failure, but it also requires near instantaneous recovery of critical system data once power is restored. Netlist’s EXPRESSvault combines DRAM, flash, and ultracapacitor technologies to provide an automated, efficient, and cost-effective cache backup and recovery solution designed to deliver precisely this mix of attributes."

"By expanding our cache protection line with EXPRESSvault, we can now provide our customers a high performance solution in a standard PCIe form-factor," said Steve McClure, vice president of worldwide sales and marketing at Netlist. "EXPRESSvault combines the speed and performance of DRAM, with the non-volatility of flash for reliable backup and recovery in the event of a system failure without degrading normal system operation."

EXPRESSvault is a plug and play data protection solution featuring 50k IOPS and 1.3 GB/s throughput. The combination of DRAM and flash with an ultracapacitor optimizes performance, eliminates field servicing, and has an extended useful life compared to traditional battery-backed DRAM solutions.

Netlist is sampling EXPRESSvault which includes a PCIe (x8 lane) adapter card with power module unit and a Linux reference driver. EXPRESSvault is priced at $299 in 5k unit volumes.
