eLife is an independent nonprofit committed to improving the way research is reviewed and communicated in the life sciences and medicine. Earlier this year we introduced a new model of publishing that puts preprints first and emphasises public reviews and assessments of research. This system makes sharing of research faster and fairer, while still providing robust peer review and quality assessment.

As the world's enterprises accelerate their digital transformations, they discover that next-generation applications must deal with data that are bigger and faster at the same time, outstripping the capabilities of today's infrastructure. MemVerge's mission is to deliver a new architecture, called Big Memory Computing, that converges memory and storage, thereby removing the storage I/O bottleneck once and for all. MemVerge's Memory Machine™ Software virtualizes heterogeneous memory hardware into a software-defined memory service that has both high capacity and high performance. MemVerge ZeroIO™ In-Memory Snapshot technology captures the state of running applications, and can be used for application roll-back, cloning and high availability. The results are new levels of productivity, performance, availability, and mobility for today's data-centric applications, both on-premises and in the cloud.
