GIGABYTE Qualifies Netlist's HyperCloud Memory Module to Overcome Memory Limitations and Optimize Server Performance

Netlist, Inc., a designer and manufacturer of high-performance memory subsystems, today announced that its 8GB and 16GB HyperCloud™ Memory module has been qualified on GIGABYTE's high density server motherboard. GIGABYTE is the leading manufacturer of motherboards, graphics cards and other computing hardware solutions. The integration of HyperCloud memory on GIGABYTE's GA-7TESM server motherboard enables 288GB of memory capacity running at 1333 MT/s.

"Our clientele of system integrators is in need of these capabilities to run more bandwidth intensive, high performance computing applications," said Ken Yeh, deputy division director at GIGABYTE.  "With the integration of HyperCloud, we are now able to address this growing demand and improve server utilization which has significant value-add for our clients."

The benefits of Netlist's patented load reduction

HyperCloud leverages the benefits of Netlist's patented load reduction and rank multiplication research to improve server utilization. This benefit enables advanced performance in memory intensive applications just as high-performance computing simulations, virtualization, and cloud computing applications.  

Netlist, Inc. designs and manufactures a wide variety of high-performance, logic-based memory subsystems for global datacenter and high-performance computing and communications markets. Netlist's flagship products include HyperCloud™, a memory module that breaks traditional memory barriers; the NVvault™ family of products including NVvault™ battery-free, a flash memory-based subsystem that enables data retention for weeks following a disaster, and EXPRESSvault™, a PCI Express backup and recovery solution for cache data protection; and a robust portfolio of high performance and specialty DIMMs including HyperStream, a low latency memory module, and the 16GB, 4Rank, very low profile Planar-X RDIMM, which helps reduce power consumption in servers using the Company's patented Planar-X research.

The memory products are developed for applications in which high-speed, high-capacity memory, enhanced functionality, small form factor and heat dissipation are key requirements. These applications include tower servers, rack-mounted servers, blade servers, high-performance computing clusters, engineering workstations and telecommunications equipment.
