Netlist, Inc., Nyriad® and HPC Systems announced their joint collaboration to deliver superior throughput, IOPs and resilience for high performance Lustre storage solutions for large and small files targeted at large-scale cluster computing. HPC Systems is a leading expert in configuring Lustre solutions for scientific work-loads. In collaboration with Netlist and Nyriad, they bring to market next generation solutions that achieve superior performance and resilience at a lower cost than previous solutions based on RAID controllers.

Netlist's NVvault®, non-volatile NVDIMM combined with Nyriad's GPU-accelerated storage enables larger, more parallel Lustre OSD nodes to achieve higher throughput and higher IOPs with scale. Netlist's NVvault® DDR4 is an NVDIMM-N that provides data acceleration and protection in a JEDEC standard DDR4 interface. It is designed to be integrated into industry standard server or storage solutions.

NVvault is a persistent memory technology that has been widely adopted by industry standard servers and storage systems. By combining the high performance of DDR4 DRAM with the non-volatility of NAND Flash, NVvault improves the performance and data preservation found in storage virtualization, RAID, cache protection, and data logging applications requiring high-throughput. Nyriad's NSULATE™ solves these problems by replacing RAID controllers with GPUs for all Linux storage applications. This enables the GPUs to perform double duty as both I/O controllers and compute accelerators in the same integrated solution.

The combination of Netlist NV Memory with NSULATE produces the best of both worlds, with low-latency IOPS achievable by any storage solution combined with maximum data resilience, security, throughput and efficiency in the same architecture.
