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)
“We know only a single science, the science of history. One can look at history from two sides and divide it into the history of nature and the history of men. However, the two sides are not to be divided off; as long as men exist the history of nature and the history of men are mutually conditioned.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“The greatest horrors in the history of mankind are not due to the ambition of the Napoleons or the vengeance of the Agamemnons, but to the doctrinaire philosophers. The theories of the sentimentalist Rousseau inspired the integrity of the passionless Robespierre. The cold-blooded calculations of Karl Marx led to the judicial and business-like operations of the Cheka.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
