SMART MODULAR TECHNOLOGIES UNVEILS NON-VOLATILE CXL MEMORY MODULE
KUALA LUMPUR, March 26 (Bernama) -- SMART Modular Technologies Inc (SMART), a global leader in integrated memory solutions, solid-state drives, and hybrid storage products, has announced the sampling of its redefined Non-Volatile CXL Memory Module (NV-CMM) to Tier 1 OEMs based on the CXL 2.0 standard.
According to a statement, the new module provides persistent memory that enables checkpointing, snapshotting and low-latency write cache for demanding data centre compute and storage applications.
This innovative product combines non-volatile high-performance DRAM memory, persistent flash memory and an energy source in a single removable EDSFF form factor to deliver superior reliability and serviceability for data-intensive applications.
SMART Modular Technologies senior product marketing manager, Torry Steed said the company’s NV-CMM represents a paradigm shift in memory technology for data centres.
“By combining the benefits of non-volatile memory with the CXL standard, we are making it significantly easier for system integrators to incorporate compact, non-volatile, high-performance persistent memory into their products,” he added.
The NV-CMM represents a significant leap forward in memory technology, offering enhanced system performance by improving responsiveness and reducing recovery processes, making it ideal for latency-sensitive applications such as high-performance computing and real-time analytics.
It also ensures data persistence through onboard backup power, which helps retain critical data during power outages, thus enhancing system reliability.
The module comes in a versatile E3.S 2T form factor, allowing for flexible server configurations, and its advanced connectivity, with PCIe Gen 5 and CXL 2.0 compliance, ensures seamless integration with the latest data centre architectures.
In addition to these features, the NV-CMM accelerates storage systems by acting as a high-speed cache, boosting storage appliance performance; enhances data recovery to maintain data integrity during power failures or system crashes; optimises virtualisation by enabling faster virtual machine restarts and reducing downtime in cloud infrastructures; and improves overall system performance with efficient write caching.
