Netlist Demonstrates New Hypercloud Memory Modules At Supercomputing 09

PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Visit Netlist at SC09 in Booth # 2398 -- At Supercomputing 09, Netlist, Inc. (Nasdaq: NLST), a designer and manufacturer of high-performance memory subsystems, is demonstrating the world's first 16GB 2 virtual rank (vRank) double-data-rate three, registered dual in-line memory module (DDR3 RDIMM), HyperCloud(TM). Netlist will also showcase the interoperability of HyperCloud memory with standard JEDEC server memory solutions on popular enterprise servers. This demonstration reinforces HyperCloud's ability to function as a standard RDIMM while increasing memory bandwidth and capacity for datacenter servers.

To showcase its 2-vRank HyperCloud modules, Netlist is using industry standard servers, such as the HP ProLiant DL380, demonstrated in the following configurations:

    --  8GB and 16GB 2 vRank DDR3 RDIMM functionality
    --  Three 2 vRank modules per channel
    --  1333 Mega Transfers per second (MT/s)
    --  Interoperability with standard JEDEC DDR3 modules

    --  Interoperability with different RDIMM capacities

"This technology maximizes server utilization with a simple plug-and-play memory module," said Paul Duran, director of business development at Netlist. "HyperCloud enables high-performance cloud computing while reducing datacenter costs and increasing application performance."

"Customers running memory intensive computing environments, such as virtualization, cloud computing, and HPC applications, are often limited by memory bottlenecks in their servers," said Mike Gill, vice president, Industry Standard Servers Platform Engineering at HP. "The Netlist technology on HP industry-standard servers increases server memory capacity and bandwidth to enhance application performance in converged infrastructures."

HyperCloud will debut at the Supercomputing trade-show, taking place in Portland, Oregon during November 17-19, 2009, in booth number 2398. Netlist plans to sample HyperCloud to major OEM customers in December with production slated for Q1 2010. HyperCloud will be available in 4GB, 8GB, and 16GB 2 vRank module options.
