Everspin Technologies Joins the OpenPOWER Foundation
CHANDLER, Ariz., March 29 -- Everspin Technologies today announced that it has joined the OpenPOWER Foundation, an open development community based on the POWER microprocessor architecture.
Everspin joins a growing roster of technology organizations working collaboratively to build advanced server, networking, storage and acceleration technology as well as industry leading open source software aimed at delivering more choice, control and flexibility to developers of next-generation, hyperscale and cloud data centers. The group makes POWER hardware and software available to open development for the first time, as well as making POWER intellectual property licensable to others, greatly expanding the ecosystem of innovators on the platform.
Everspin, the leader in MRAM development and production, recognizes the value in collaborating on advanced system architecture that can take advantage of its breakthrough memory technology, bringing persistent memory to a new class of storage devices and servers.
“We are pleased to join the OpenPOWER Foundation as a Silver Member,” said Scott Sewell, Vice President of Worldwide Sales and Marketing for Everspin Technologies. “We see tremendous synergy between our efforts to revolutionize memory architecture and the goals of OpenPOWER to enable next-generation server, storage and networking systems.”
"The momentum of the OpenPOWER Foundation continues to increase as companies and members see the benefits to open and collaborative innovation," said Calista Redmond, President, OpenPOWER Foundation. "The open architecture of the POWER processor combined with innovations from companies like Everspin Technologies presents a highly differentiated approach to system design and emerging workloads."
