Netlist Collaborates With ScaleMP for Develop Software-Defined Memory Solutions

Netlist, Inc. and ScaleMP Inc. announced a collaboration agreement to develop software-defined memory (SDM) solutions for Netlist’s HybriDIMM.

“With SDM, ScaleMP has pioneered the use of low-cost, high-capacity non-volatile media as memory,” said C.K. Hong, CEO, Netlist. “We look forward to leveraging ScaleMP’s expertise to further highlight HybriDIMM’s cost-effective fast storage and memory capabilities in various data-intensive applications.“

“Netlist’s HybriDIMM is a breakthrough storage class memory technology with the ability to deliver industry-leading cost/performance for in-memory computing,” said Shai Fultheim, founder and CEO, ScaleMP. “Through the integration of SDM, we can help to maximize the value of HybriDIMM and further advance its market adoption.“

HybriDIMM combines DRAM and existing NVM technologies with intelligent ‘on-DIMM’ co-processing to deliver a lower cost of memory. Expected to be launched in 2019, HybriDIMM supports multiple server architectures and is recognized as a standard LRDIMM without BIOS modifications.

HybriDIMM’s cost-effective memory expansion and fast storage allows datacenter operators to reduce the cost of running database applications, online transaction processing, big data analytics, web applications and in-memory computing, and to capitalize on the promise of storage class memory using well-established NAND or newer, innovative NVM media.
