Pioneering Technologists Focused on Virtualized Management and Dynamic Allocation of Memory Resources Take Top Innovative Enterprise Business Application Prize for Breakthrough Software-Defined Memory Solution, Kove:SDM.™

SANTA CLARA, CA, AUGUST 6, 2024 — Kove, creator of the groundbreaking software-defined memory solution Kove:SDM™, has clinched the ‘Best of Show’ award for “Most Innovative Enterprise Business Application.” This prestigious accolade, presented at the Future of Memory and Storage (FMS) conference, highlights Kove’s significant and growing impact on high-performance enterprise computing solutions. The FMS conference is the premier global event showcasing advancements, trends, and key players in the multi-billion-dollar high-speed memory, storage, and SSD markets.

“We are thrilled to accept the ‘Best of Show’ honor at FMS 2024,” said Kove CEO John Overton. “As data sets grow larger — and AI/ML, Rich Media, IoT and Edge Computing move from luxuries to essentials —memory size has become the single greatest obstacle to achieving transformational growth. Our team at Kove has been able to solve this and achieve what few thought possible — and this is only the beginning.”

Kove is being honored for making the once-impossible task of virtualizing memory a reality. Kove:SDM™ provides flexibility and scalability, lowers energy usage, and improves resource optimization — all with no need for code alterations or new hardware. Servers access a shared memory pool, getting exactly the memory required, including quantities larger than a single server’s capacity. After job completion, memory reverts to the pool, enhancing overall utilization. This breakthrough innovation lets enterprises reduce server counts, save energy, and deploy memory strategically — where and when it is needed.

“Customers can experience near immediate upgrades in performance, cost reductions and energy savings,” Overton said. “Kove:SDM™’s approach to software-defined memory delivers deterministic low latency and high CPU utilization. Users receive local memory performance while transparently using virtualized memory from even hundreds of feet away. With policies on how the memory pool is used, customers can now create custom server definitions on-the-fly, for whatever performance requirements they need or have.”

Kove will be on-site to deliver a keynote address about their fully mature, commercially deployed software-defined memory solution — the world’s first and only — and will also have experts in its booth (#321) ready to share even more insights with FMS attendees. Held annually in August in the heart of Silicon Valley, FMS is the industry’s premier memory and storage event, attracting top professionals, innovators and companies from around the world. The ‘Best of Show’ award is one of the highest honors given at the event, recognizing outstanding achievement and breakthrough innovation.
