Netlist and Supermicro Deliver Application Acceleration Using NV4 NVDIMMs

Netlist, Inc. announced a breakthrough in application acceleration using non-volatile memory (NVDIMM) products together with Supermicro Computer, Inc. at FAST’16, the 14th USENIX Conference in Santa, Clara, CA.

NV4 NVDIMM

Firm’s NV4 NVDIMMs held application data using a NoSQL Key-Value store powered by a Supermicro SuperServer system to demonstrate a 200% performance increase over the fastest PCIe NAND devices. Key-Value store, used in NoSQL Database environments including cloud computing, social media platforms, and other datacenter applications can provide superior performance with data persistence when used with company’s NV4 NVDIMMs.

“We are proud to showcase the end-user benefits from our collaboration with Supermicro. Netlist’s non-volatile memory solutions combined with the power of Supermicro servers bring tangible performance increases that can be utilized today,” said Brian Peterson, SVP, sales and marketing, Netlist. “Our work with Supermicro shows the type of application performance increases which drove the adoption of SSDs and can now be surpassed with the use of NV4 non-volatile memory from Netlist.“

“Supermicro leads the industry in support of non-volatile memory development with the expansion of our X10 generation platforms optimized for DDR4 memory technology and support to over 60 Intel Xeon Processors. Our collaboration with Netlist drives customer awareness of the significant performance benefits of NVDIMM technology and we are pleased to see an acceleration in customer adoption.” said Don Clegg, VP, marketing and business development, Supermicro.

This demonstration of performance comes on the heels
of other high performance watermarks
achieved by the company in recent months:

• It doubled the bandwidth performance of CEPH by using its next generation EXPRESSvault product (EV3).

• It showcased 5x performance for transaction-based workloads using its recently introduced next generation NVvault product (NV4).
