Violin Memory said that be leveraging HyperTransport technology it can cost-effectively extend server memory to the Terabytes range. Target applications could range from high-performance computing clusters to VOD servers. Under the agreement, Violin and AMD will use HyperTransport technology to enable Violin 1010 Memory Appliances to connect directly with AMD Opteron processor-based servers and extend main memory resources. The cache coherency protocol of HyperTransport technology will enable several processors to share extensive memory resources from one or more Violin Memory Appliances. This extended memory model will enable these servers to support much larger datasets. Violin has developed a unique switched memory technology that delivers RAID-like redundancy and allows failed memory modules to be replaced without the loss of application data. A single 2U appliance can support 84 Violin Memory Modules (VIMMs). Each module supports 6 GB of DRAM, which provides for total appliance capacity of 504 GB. http://www.violin-memory.com 10-Dec-07 Recent Start-up News Cisco to Acquire Arch Rock for Wireless Energy Sensors 9/2/2010 FiberTech Networks Sold to Investor Group for $500 Million 8/26/2010 Cisco to Acquire ExtendMedia for Video Content Management 8/26/2010 Nimbula Raises $15 Million for Cloud OS 8/25/2010 VSS Monitoring Raises $20 Million for its Distributed Taps 8/24/2010 Nokia to Acquire Motally for Mobile Analytics Service 8/20/2010 LG-Ericsson USA Launches, Integrates Accton's SMC Networks 8/16/2010 Talari Networks Secures $10 Million for WAN Virtualization 8/11/2010 MobileIron Raises $16M for Smartphone Management 8/3/2010 YouSendIt Secures $15 Million for Secure Content Delivery 8/3/2010 Wavesat Develop Tri-Band LTE Reference Design for Consumer Handsets 8/2/2010 NTT DOCOMO Acquires PacketVideo for Embedded Mobile Software 8/2/2010 IBM Acquires Storwize for Real-time Data Compression 7/29/2010 Boeing Completes Acquisition of Narus 7/29/2010 Juniper to Acquire SMobile for Mobile Security 7/27/2010 > More news...   Search  this site   Search the Web   Get Your Column Published Emergency Response and Wireless Location Systems by Manlio Allegra Interview: NSN's Sue Spradley on LightSquared's Wholesale Mobile Data Paradigm by Sue Spradley Mobile Backhaul Transition Requires New Testing by Joe Zeto Cybersecurity Requires Public/Private Coalition by Greg Oslan A Rethinking of Cloud Services and Network Architecture by Jim Theodoras Delivering Scalable Video Solutions <br><i> Advantages of SVC-Optimized QoS</i> by Andy Singleton       E-mail Newsletter Sign up for a FREE TRIAL of our newsletter
