Crucial Releases NVDIMM Server Memory to Help Protect Companies from Data Loss
June 21 2016 - 9:00AM
Key Messages:
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 utilizing 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 recognize 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
