In our information-driven age, powerful High Performance Computing (HPC) platforms are processing massive amounts of data in an effort to unlock its value. To yield the insights necessary to move humankind forward, HPC solutions constantly evolve. Optimizing the reliability of the memory sub-system for maximum uptime is critical to success.

What is Zefr?

Zefr is a screening process performed on OEM original memory modules or SMART Modular built memory modules to deliver ultra-high reliability for demanding workloads.

Zefr Eliminating Over 90% of Memory Reliability Failures

Answering the call to workload-driven computing, powerful, High Performance Computing (HPC) platforms are processing massive amounts of data to unlock value. This trend demands maximum uptime.

Industry Standard Memory Reliability isn’t Sufficient

Current Defective Parts per Million (DPPM) simply aren’t low enough, contributing to:

● Delayed platform bring up

● Inflated maintenance costs

● Reduced system yield rate

The Zefr Process Simulates Real-World Conditions

Zefr Memory has been intensely processed to filter out weak memory modules. The Zefr Process combines five key testing ingredients.

Defective Memory Can Lead to Multiple Complications

These complications result in downtime costing thousands of money.

Zefr Benefits

(1) Increase ROI

(2) Maximize System Yield Rate

(3) Accelerate the "Time-to-Insight"

Case Study

An HPC System Integrator built identical systems with standard and Zefr memory.
