RNA Networks develops memory sharing

RNA Networks develops memory sharing Oregon-based RNA Networks has developed a memory virtualisation technique which allows for the sharing of memory across an entire data centre.

The company claims that the new technology will push memory into the same category as server and storage technology, which are becoming increasingly virtualised.

It will allow for data centres to share their memory capacity on demand allowing for quicker data swapping.

RNA Networks' Memory Virtualisation Platform claims to get high-performance computing from existing hardware by separating memory from processor and server use.

The system's memory can then be used as an application-aware shared network resource.

RNA Networks states its system can reduce network costs by as much as 37 per cent and cut power consumption by 42 per cent.

In related news, Paul Kish, Belden's director of systems and standards, said that network performance was dependent on the reliability of cables transmitting data across a system – whether standard Cat5e cables or fibre optic leads. ADNFCR-1186-ID-19009097-ADNFCR
