Whether it’s a mid-size health insurance company or a large-scale e-commerce service provider, storage servers play an important role in terms of data management for any business operation. Along with the increasing amounts of data generated and transported through network connections, it’s crucial to efficiently process and store the data, while enabling data access, yet maintaining security. Whatever the use or data applications, storage servers can are used where a large amount of data is transmitted, gathered and processed for analysis and business operations.
Challenges & Requirements
In applications, like commercial auto fleet telematics, where continuous data processing and feedback is required, it’s crucial to build a storage system that guarantees stable and reliable performance at all times. In mission critical and vital business applications, storage servers need to be equipped with memory that provides key features such as power loss data protection, encryption protection and reliable performance for the storage servers to maintain data validity.
In addition to traditional DRAM, storage systems also require reliable Flash devices in the storage server management unit to store operating system and application codes so it can capture operation log files and secure critical metadata from system memory in a sudden system power loss event.
SMART's DRAM Solutions
• DDR5 Zefr ZDIMM - ZDIMMs (Zefr Memory Module) are rigorously tested to eliminate over 90% of memory reliability failures, ensuring maximum application uptime and optimizing memory subsystem reliability. ZDIMMs utilize SMART’s Zefr™ proprietary screening process, ensuring the industry’s highest levels of uptime and reliability.
• DDR5 RDIMM - SMART's DDR5 RDIMMs are designed to meet increasing needs for efficient performance in a wide range of applications including cloud computing, and data center processing. The DDR5 memory provides developers with twice the performance (4800 to 6400 MT/s) and improved power efficiency in comparison to DDR4 by using an on-DIMM 12V voltage regulator (PMIC) and 1.1 I/O Voltage.
• DDR4 LRDIMM - SMART's DDR4 load-reduced dual in-line memory modules (LRDIMMs) use a distributed buffer so that high-speed memory controllers can drive larger quantities of memory. There are specific configurations, such as when using three DIMMs per channel, that require LRDIMMs to maximize capacity and performance.
