Crucial Releases NVDIMM Server Memory to Help Protect Companies from Data Loss
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
New server modules couple DRAM and NAND to back up valuable data in the event of
a system power loss
Key Messages:
* NVDIMMs are a new persistent memory category. They use the system's memory
bus to deliver significant increased application performance
* NVDIMMs combine the performance of DRAM with the persistence of NAND
* Ultracapacitor, in a 2.5" drive bay form factor, provides power to NVDIMMs
during the backup operation
* System memory speeds start at 2133 MT/s with JEDEC-standard interface
BOISE, Idaho, June 21, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Crucial, a leading global brand
of memory and storage upgrades, today announced the availability of Nonvolatile
DIMM (NVDIMM) server memory to help companies protect data in the event of a
system power loss. Historically, companies have used uninterruptible power
supplies, solid state drives (SSDs), mechanical hard drives (HDDs) or other
devices to ensure the security of critical data. While this method of preserving
critical data has been effective, the backup and restore times have been very
long due to the latency and write times of the SSD and HDD. Today's applications
such as relational databases, scale-out storage, data analytics, and in-memory
databases require much faster backup and restore times.
Crucial NVDIMM server memory combines DRAM and NAND onto a single module,
providing the performance of DRAM with the persistence of NAND. In the event of
a power loss, the NVDIMM will back up all DRAM data to the NAND while utilising
a backup power source, known as an ultracapacitor. The DRAM on the NVDIMM
ensures critical data can be operated on from a low-latency memory space without
the risk of losing it. The NAND on the module ensures that the contents of the
DRAM are not lost during a power failure, making the DRAM persistent. When power
is restored to the system, the data in the NAND is restored on the DRAM.
During normal operation, NVDIMMs perform identically to RDIMMs, and servers
recognise them as such. Critical data such as transaction logs, meta-data, and
database logs are written at the speed of DRAM, which for current NVDIMMs is at
2133 MT/s.
"NVDIMM is a persistent memory solution for companies who have valuable data
they need to protect in case of a power outage," said Michael Moreland,
worldwide product manager, Crucial. "Combining DRAM and NAND, Crucial NVDIMMs
safeguard data during power loss, remove I/O bottlenecks that hold servers back,
and increase the performance of server applications."
Crucial NVDIMMs and compatible ultracapacitors are available for purchase
through select global partners. All Crucial memory is backed by a limited
lifetime warranty*. For more information about Crucial server memory offerings,
