Micron’s first commercially available persistent memory solution addresses big data challenges

Micron Technology has introduced its 8GByte DDR4 NVDIMM, the company's first commercially available solution in the persistent memory category. Persistent memory balances latency, bandwidth, capacity and cost, delivering DRAM-like access to critical data and allowing system designers to better manage overall costs.

As data centres evolve to handle the growing influx of data, the cost of moving data and storing it away from the CPU becomes increasingly prohibitive, creating the need for faster, more responsive solutions. Persistent memory allows greater flexibility in data management by providing non-volatile, low latency memory closer to the processor. With NVDIMM technology, Micron says it can deliver a persistent memory solution capable of meeting many of today's biggest computing challenges.

Tom Eby, vice president for Micron's compute and networking business unit, said:"Micron is delivering on the promise of persistent memory with a solution that gives system architects a new approach for designing systems with better performance, reduced energy usage and improved total cost of ownership."

Micron's NVDIMM technology is a non-volatile solution that combines NAND flash reliability, DRAM performance and an optional power source into a single memory subsystem, delivering a powerful solution that ensures data stored in memory is protected against power loss. By placing non-volatile memory on the DRAM bus, this architecture allows customers to store data close to the processor and optimise data movement by delivering faster access to variables stored in DRAM.

The NVDIMM technology is suitable for applications such as big data analytics, storage appliances, RAID cache, In-Memory Databases and On Line Transaction Processing.
