Proprietary memory improves reliability for data centre performance
According to Smart Modular Technologies, the Smart Zefr memory is based on a proprietary process that eliminates more than 90 per cent of memory reliability failures and optimises memory subsystems for maximum uptime.
Smart Zefr memory has been tested under real world conditions to identify and filter out marginal components that may undermine memory reliability, said the company. System start-up delays are frequently attributed to memory errors and can reduce system efficiency and lead to higher maintenance costs and lower system yield rates.
A screening process for memory modules, developed by Smart Modular Technologies, is claimed to ensure the industry’s highest levels of uptime and reliability. Smart Zefr memory is suitable for data centres, hyper scalers, high performance computing (HPC) platforms, and other environments that run large memory applications and where uptime is critical.
It has been used in the development of HPC systems that are deployed across a wide variety of industry segments, including defence, aerospace, research, energy, finance and biotech.
Kevin Deng, senior product manager for the Penguin Computing HPC portfolio, commented: “With SMART Zefr Memory, our Penguin Computing HPC and AI systems come up fast, complete the acceptance criteria period flawlessly, and consistently operate very reliably in the field. For our customers, this equates to a solution that provides high availability and high reliability across a complete system, enabling them to operate mission-critical tasks without disruption.”
For more than 30 years, Smart Modular Technologies has offered design, development and advanced packaging of specialty memory solutions for customers around the world. Its portfolio ranges includes standard and legacy DRAM and flash storage products, standard, ruggedised and custom memory and storage products.
