Netlist Shipping NetVault Non-volatile Cache Memory

By DE Editors

Netlist, Inc.’s NetVault-NV is a flash memory based non-volatile cache memory subsystem targeting RAID (redundant array of inexpensive disks) storage applications. NetVault-NV offers disaster recovery backup from system power failures and is optimized to help ensure high system availability in RAID systems without using battery power for backup.

NetVault-NV provides server and storage OEMs with a solution for enhanced datacenter fault recovery. It uses a combination of DRAM for high throughput performance and Flash for extended data retention.  With NetVault-NV, data is retained for years following a disaster.

NetVault-NV also eliminates system downtime that is often required during battery health monitoring and replacement.  Some fault tolerant cache subsystems require large watt-hour batteries to power the cache over a period of days whereas NetVault-NV requires power for less than a minute, according to the company.
