Micron Introduces Persistent Memory Solution That Combines DRAM Performance With NAND Flash Reliability to Address Big Data Challenges
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
New Micron DDR4 NVDIMM Technology is Company's First Commercially Available
Persistent Memory Solution, Accelerates Access to Large Data Sets
BOISE, Idaho, Nov. 10, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Micron Technology, Inc.,
(Nasdaq:MU) announces the production of 8GB DDR4 NVDIMM, the company's first
commercially available solution in the persistent memory category. Persistent
memory delivers a unique balance of latency, bandwidth, capacity and cost,
delivering ultra-fast DRAM-like access to critical data and allowing system
designers to better manage overall costs. With persistent memory, system
architects are no longer forced to sacrifice latency and bandwidth when
accessing critical data that must be preserved.
As data centers evolve to handle the massively growing influx of data, the cost
of moving data and storing it away from the CPU becomes increasingly
prohibitive, creating the need for a new generation of faster, more responsive
solutions. Persistent memory, a new addition to the memory hierarchy, allows
greater flexibility in data management by providing non-volatile, low latency
memory closer to the processor. With NVDIMM technology, Micron delivers a
powerful persistent memory solution capable of meeting many of today's biggest
computing challenges.
Micron's NVDIMM begins to address some of the difficult architectural challenges
facing CIOs today, and is ideal for applications such as big data analytics,
storage appliances, RAID cache, In-Memory Databases and On Line Transaction
Processing. Traditional memory architectures force system architects to
sacrifice latency or bandwidth needed to access the critical data for these
applications, and as a result, performance is often limited by I/O bottlenecks.
Micron's NVDIMM solutions deliver architectures suited to meet the demands of
applications that require high performance coupled with frequent access to large
data sets while being sensitive to down time. In the event of a power failure or
system crash, Micron's NVDIMM solution provides an onboard controller that
safely transfers data stored in DRAM to the onboard non-volatile memory, thereby
preserving the data that would otherwise be lost.
"Micron is delivering on the promise of persistent memory with a solution that
gives system architects a new approach for designing systems with better
performance, reduced energy usage and improved total cost of ownership," said
Tom Eby, vice president for Micron's compute and networking business unit. "With
NVDIMM, we have a powerful solution that is available today. We're also leading
the way on future persistent memory development by spearheading R&D efforts on
promising new technologies such as 3D XPoint(TM) memory, which will be available
in 2016 and beyond."
Persistent Memory: A New Architecture for the New Data Age
Micron's NVDIMM technology is a non-volatile solution that combines NAND flash
reliability, DRAM performance and an optional power source into a single memory
subsystem, delivering a powerful solution that ensures data stored in memory is
protected against power loss. By placing non-volatile memory on the DRAM bus,
this new architecture allows customers to store data close to the processor and
significantly optimize data movement by delivering faster access to variables
stored in DRAM.
"Persistent memory is a critical new technology to move computing forward. The
amount of information that can be found in data produced by today's
organizations requires a platform with the performance abilities to more
efficiently store, manage and analyze large data sets frequently and quickly,"
said Greg Wong, founder and principal analyst at Forward Insights. "Micron's
NVDIMM technology is a positive step in this direction, delivering a solution
that fills a gap in the current memory hierarchy right now."
