Solutions

Virident's new green data-centric technology platform fundamentally changes the way data is stored and accessed at the memory, server and application layer through a series of proprietary innovations that leverage established low-power memory and processing technology without compromising performance.

Enabling High Capacity, Data-Centric Servers

Virident Systems has developed the first data-centric technology platform to deliver a new class of green memory solutions for the data center. This low-energy, high-performance platform solution enables Internet data centers to cost-effectively keep pace with the rising performance and energy demands of Internet-Scale. Underlying this platform is the GreenGateway™ technology conceived and developed by Virident. Spansion® EcoRAM is the first memory product built on this platform.

The new memory solution provides DRAM-class read performance with larger memory capacity, improving server efficiency and throughput for applications such as internet search, social networking, data analytics and content distribution. It delivers substantial improvements in memory density and power efficiency (QPS/Watt) without requiring any changes to sockets, motherboards, servers or software.

GreenGateway sets the stage for several revolutionary changes in Internet server design and power efficiency to be announced in the future by Virident.

Virident’s GreenGateway™ technology enables Spansion® EcoRAM,
turning Flash into high-capacity, DRAM-class memory

 

Key benefits of Virident’s GreenGateway™ include:

• Ability to greatly increase available main memory in industry-standard servers
• Lower power consumption based on low-power flash memory profiles
• Higher application performance in memory-bound applications
• Ability to consolidate servers based on larger per server memory capacity
• Improved cluster level TCO based on capital and operating expense savings
• No need to change existing server designs to incorporate GreenGateway technology

 

Seamless Deployment in Today's Data Centers

The promise of revolutionary technology is often limited by the reality of deployment. Deploying revolutionary technology typically requires forklift upgrades and disruption of established business and technology ecosystems. In contrast, Virident's core platform, while revolutionary, is designed to be seamless and fully compatible with data center hardware and software infrastructure as well as with existing business processes.

Furthermore, Virident will provide its memory solution to customers transparently via partnerships with established manufacturers and distributors. With Virident, customers will be able to realize the benefits of the data center revolution without changing the way they do business.

Partnership with Spansion

Virident has partnered with Spansion, the leader in NOR Flash memory, in bringing Spansion® EcoRAM to market. Spansion® EcoRAM, the first memory product built on the Virident platform, utilizes Virident’s GreenGateway™ technology to move up to a full terabyte of low-power, non-volatile, high-performance memory closer to the CPU – increasing server and application throughput and setting the stage for several revolutionary changes in Internet server design and power efficiency.

Spansion’s best-of-breed manufacturing, design, and sales and distribution resources promise a low-cost, reliable and competitive solution based on Virident’s innovative GreenGateway™ memory technology.
