History
Nemo Systems was founded by Sundar Iyer (CTO) and Professor Nick McKeown (CEO) (both from Stanford University) in 2003 and received initial funding from angel investors, Benchmark Capital and Mohr Davidow Ventures. Nemo Systems was a fabless semiconductor company developing network memory technology that originated from the Stanford University High Performance Networking Group.
Network memory was promoted as providing latency and transaction rate performance of SRAM technology with the density of typical DRAM. Typical applications included buffering, statistics counters and flow records. The mathematical tools for the analysis of network memory algorithms were developed by Iyer as part of his PhD thesis at Stanford. The Nemo technology is based on five years of original research at Stanford University and then at Nemo Systems.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The disadvantage of men not knowing the past is that they do not know the present. History is a hill or high point of vantage, from which alone men see the town in which they live or the age in which they are living.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“In history an additional result is commonly produced by human actions beyond that which they aim at and obtain—that which they immediately recognize and desire. They gratify their own interest; but something further is thereby accomplished, latent in the actions in question, though not present to their consciousness, and not included in their design.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“What would we not give for some great poem to read now, which would be in harmony with the scenery,—for if men read aright, methinks they would never read anything but poems. No history nor philosophy can supply their place.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
