Diablo Technologies launched its second generation

platform called Carbon2, designed to support industry-standard DDR4 interface. Diablo’s DDR4-compatible design complements its existing support for DDR3, and expands the reach of MCS to include next-generation server architectures. The Carbon2 platform provides additional performance enhancements to further accelerate new software innovations, such as Diablo’s NanoCommit technology.
 
“Memory Channel Storage DDR4 solutions represent the next evolution of Server Acceleration technology,” said Riccardo Badalone, CEO and Co-founder of Diablo Technologies. “In addition to supporting a faster memory interface, the Carbon2 platform delivers hardware acceleration for new software innovations like NanoCommit. Converged Memory, where Flash and DRAM are combined, will rely on this type of technology to give applications the ability to transparently persist updates to main memory.”
 
NanoCommit technology supports hundreds of millions of transactions per second, with nanosecond latency. Available on the Carbon2 platform, NanoCommit enables dramatic performance and scalability advantages for business-critical, enterprise applications.
 
The Carbon2 Reference Design Kit (RDK) will be available exclusively to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and solid-state drive (SSD) vendors in the first half of 2015 via the Diablo Carbon2 partner program. Carbon2 is provided as a complete reference design, including a DDR4-compatible MCS chipset, firmware and device drivers for Microsoft Windows Server, VMware ESXi and popular distributions of Linux. Pricing and availability for the Carbon2 RDK can be obtained directly from Diablo Technologies.

OEMs like IBM and SSD like SanDisk manufacturers utilize Diablo’s Memory Channel Storage technology to create revolutionary end products and to accelerate next-generation hardware architectures.
