Reflective Memory is an optical ring-based, ultra-high-speed shared memory
network solution. It allows a distributed network to share real-time data at a deterministic
rate, regardless of bus structures and operating systems.
The technology embraces an innovative and efficiently designed hardware platform that is easy
to use, provides for greater distance between nodes, high noise immunity, optional node bypass,
and no software overhead. Just read and write to the onboard memory and the Reflective
Memory node controller does the rest.
Reflective Memory may be used in place of any application that uses Ethernet, Fibre Channel, or other serial networks
to connect computers or Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) together.
Reflective Memory is most relevant in systems where interaction in real time is a primary concern. In systems where
determinism, low latency, and high-speed communication are necessary, Reflective Memory boards, while typically
more expensive than lower performance computer hardware, provides a huge return in performance with the added
benefit of ease of use.
