NVDIMM-N Updates:
• SMART is shipping qualification samples of 16GB DDR4-2666 NVDIMMs (P/N SH2047NJ420493SB)
• These have the JEDEC I2C command set and are targeted for next-generation Intel Skylake CPU-based server and storage systems
• Systems from Intel, Supermicro, Tyan and other OEMs that use Intel’s Skylake CPU are expected to start shipping in Q2’17
• SMART is completing SMTL validation test reports that will be posted on our public website at SMART SMTL Test Reports <http://www.smartm.com/services/smtl_reports.asp>
• These are SMART’s standard SMTL system validation test reports where 500 backup/restore cycles have been added to the test procedures
• The validation reports for Supermicro and Intel systems will be posted shortly
NVDIMM-Enabled Systems:
• Supermicro X10DRI, X10DRU, X10DRS, X10DRC – are some of the more common systems that support SMART’s 8GB and 16GB DDR4-2400 NVDIMMs
o Ongoing qualifications are in progress with Supermicro
• Intel S2600TP, S2600CW, and S2600WT fully support SMART’s 8GB & 16GB NVDIMMs
o Intel requires a SOW (Statement of Work) to be signed with their end customers to get access to the NVDIMM supported BIOS The SOW needs to name SMART as a NVDIMM supplier. Please make sure to tell end customers using these systems about this.
• Intel S2600BP, S2600WF, S2600ST – DDR4-2666 NVDIMM quals are in progress, expected completion in early Q1’17
• Other NVDIMM systems: AIC, Advantech, ZT
• ODM Support- We are working with most of the ODMs in Taiwan and China
• Tier 1 OEMs – We have qualified and are in progress with several Tier 1 NVDIMM quals
Performance Benefits of NVDIMM-N:
• Faster system performance by having direct memory access to Persistent Memory
• Non-volatile memory on the DRAM bus significantly optimizes data movement, delivering faster access
• Low latency, high performance and near infinite endurance of DRAM
• Fast recovery from system power loss
• Software overhead eliminated
Targeted Usage:
• Journaling: reduced recovery time
• Traditional Database: Log acceleration by write combining and caching
• Enterprise Storage: Tiering, caching, write buffering and meta data storage without an auxiliary power source
• Virtualization: Higher VM consolidation with greater memory density
• High-Performance Computing: Check point acceleration and/or elimination
• NVRAM Replacement: Higher performance enabled by removing the DMA setup/teardown
• Other: Object stores, unstructured data, financial & real-time transactions
Collateral:
• Please see more NVDIMM collateral available on SMART’s website at SMART NVDIMM <http://smartm.com/products/dram/NVDIMM_products.asp>
