IRVINE, Calif., April 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Netlist, Inc.
(NASDAQ: NLST), a leading provider of high performance memory
storage solutions for the cloud computing and storage markets,
announced the introduction of its EXPRESSvault™ EV3
PCI Express® (PCIe®) 3.0 Non-volatile RAM (NVRAM), the newest
product in its NVvault family. Netlist, a member of the Storage
Networking Industry Association (SNIA), will demonstrate
EXPRESSvault's bandwidth and I/Os per second (IOPS) at the SNIA
Data Storage Innovation Conference taking place this week in
Santa Clara, CA.
Netlist's EXPRESSvault EV3 family is a new ultra-fast storage
class memory tier designed to accelerate mission critical
applications in scale-out storage, all-flash arrays, database
systems, distributed file systems, and server-side caching.
The product can be used as both a block storage device for
efficient DMA transactions and a persistent memory extension mapped
directly to the host. In addition, the EXPRESSvault EV3 can
be applied to storage systems using inline deduplication and
compression, encryption, indexing and mapping.
"We are proud to debut this new EXPRESSvault EV3 family which
provides plug-and-play PCIe connectivity and builds upon our
position as an innovator in the NVRAM marketplace," said
Christopher Lopes, VP of Worldwide
Sales at Netlist. "We are delivering a superior solution that
meets the high performance and endurance demands of enterprise
storage and data center applications for the cloud.
EXPRESSvault EV3 architecture ensures data in memory is immediately
and reliably backed up without the use of expensive, inefficient
UPS or battery technologies. Because this solution is
independent of the memory bus technology and works in both DDR3 and
DDR4 based hardware, it is easy to integrate and take to
production."
EXPRESSvault EV3 is the latest enterprise class product from
Netlist, based on the industry-standard PCIe 3.0 interface to
enable plug-and-play PCIe connectivity. It combines the high
speed and endurance of DRAM with the non-volatility of MLC NAND
flash to deliver sustainable performance of more than 400K I/Os per
second (IOPS) with sub-microsecond latency—performance far superior
than today's fastest Solid State Drives (SSD). EXPRESSvault
is an ideal match for server and storage solutions in
next-generation data centers for cloud computing that integrate IBM
POWER or Intel Haswell/Broadwell CPUs and Serial Attached SCSI
(SAS) and PCI Express SSD products.
Key competitive attributes of the EXPRESSvault EV3 include:
- Virtually unlimited write endurance
- End to end Data coverage
- Fast Backup times: 4GB ~ 24 seconds, 8GB ~ 48 seconds, 16GB ~
96 seconds
- Supercap rating: 5 year @ 50C ambient, UL Certification
- Supercap charge time – less than 4 min
- Extensive Health Monitoring, Error reporting with Predictive
failure warnings, and Backup, restore, power, NAND life status
- Data Retention – 3 months
The EXPRESSvault EV3 is available in 4GB, 8GB and 16GB
capacities and in production quantities as early as June
2015. Additional EXPRESSvault information and samples can be

Netlist will be at the Data Storage Innovation Conference taking
place at the Santa Clara Hyatt Regency on April 7- 9, 2015. Netlist can be located at
Table T-6. The EXPRESSvault demonstration will run on a Dell
R630 based on Intel Haswell CPU and show the performance of NVRAM
at >4GB/s with low latency.
