Canadian Stealthy Start-Up Diablo Technologies Forms Technology Advisory Board

Diablo Technologies, Inc., in memory system interface products, announced the formation of a Technology Advisory Board comprised of enterprise IT industry innovators to participate in the strategic direction of the company’s Memory Chanel Storage (MCS) technology from an applications perspective.

The board will be chaired by company CTO Maher Amer
and is comprised of independent members:

• John Borkenhagen, CTO at IBM;
• David Cohen, senior technologist at EMC;
• Michael Cornwell, VP and founding engineer at Pure Storage; and
• Thomas W. Fry, director of New Technology Pathfinding at Samsung Semiconductor

"As we prepare to launch our line of Memory Channel Storage products that enable next-generation enterprise server and storage system designs, we have set our sights on unprecedented levels of performance for current and future applications," said Amer. "To that end, we have assembled a group of top industry innovators to help refine the development of our revolutionary NAND-flash system solutions built on Diablo’s MCS architecture and deliver new levels of performance, scalability and integration for enterprise application developers and end users."

In November 2012, Diablo announced closing of a $28M equity investment round to fund completion of its groundbreaking Memory Channel Storage technology platform and to-be-announced system products that provide substantial improvements in transaction processing and data analysis within compute-servers, enterprise datacenters and cloud-computing facilities worldwide. The funding round was led by Battery Ventures and included additional financing from Celtic House Venture Partners, BDC Venture Capital, and Hasso Plattner Ventures.
