RNA networks’ Memory Virtualization Platform™

Feb. 2, 2009 - PRLog -- RNA's Memory Virtualization PlatformTM (MVP) is a large capacity shared pool of virtualized memory that is accessible via the network fabric, providing unparalleled resource utilization and performance in the enterprise data center. The MVP delivers unmatched performance and scalability for performance critical applications.

Memory: The Data Center Bottleneck
Business critical applications demand high performance from all network resources to derive value out of the ever-increasing volume of data. Application data quickly adds up to terabytes: datasets much too large to fit in even large scale local RAM. Memory is emerging as a critical bottleneck in performance slowdowns for applications where latency and throughput matter most.

Memory Virtualization Breaks The Performance Barrier
For the first time, Memory Virtualization decouples memory from its physical environment, making it a shared resource across the data center or cluster. This is not more addressable memory but virtualized memory shared between multiple machines. Memory Virtualization, as a shared network resource, allows large datasets to be processed much faster, meaning less waiting for queries and faster application runtimes.

With Memory Virtualization, RNA networks has solved the key barrier to increasing the efficiency of existing networking resources in order to improve the performance of business critical applications.

RNA networks' Memory Virtualization Solution
RNA's Memory Virtualization PlatformTM (MVP) is a large capacity shared pool of virtualized memory that is accessible via the network fabric, enabling virtualization of the core information technology elements of the 21st century data center. The RNA MVP addresses today's IT performance challenges and paves the way for new business computing scenarios by eliminating application bottlenecks associated with memory and data sharing.

Benefits of RNA networks' Memory Virtualization Solution
•   Accelerate data-intensive applications by 10-30X
•   Allow multiple servers to operate on a single, large dataset delivering results more rapidly
•   Highly scalable parallel architecture easily scales to support hundreds of nodes
•   Improve utilization of memory, CPU, and storage resources to reduce cost and footprint
•   Commodity-based memory appliances add 32GB of memory with integrated Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processor

RNA's Products - RNAcache and RNAmessenger
Currently available RNA products, RNAcache and RNAmessenger, deliver optimized data center utilization, performance, and reliability with minimum risk and immediate business results.

RNAcache virtualizes memory into a Collaborative Cache. RNAcache is designed for applications that are I/O intensive and can take advantage of large scale memory sharing, with RNAcache application data and network bottlenecks are removed.

Specifically designed to deliver messages with ultra-low latency, RNAmessenger virtualizes messaging solutions into a Collaborative Cache. With RNAmessenger, high-volume certified transaction processing is enabled. Small message sizes (i.e. hundreds of bytes) are handled as efficiently as large data sets.

Deployment
RNAcache and RNAmessenger are bundled and delivered with the RNA Appliance to provide simple deployment and operation. RNA products can be implemented on a dedicated high-performance overlay network or as part of the established GbE network fabric. Since memory virtualization is application centric, RNA's products work with most commonly deployed operating system kernels.
