[Product Brief] SMART Modular DDR4 NVDIMM
Future of Persistent Memory DRAM and SSD Form Factors Aligned with New System Architectures
Product
SMART Modular’s DDR4 NVDIMMs combine non-volatile memory functionality with high speed DDR4 DRAM technology. DDR4 NVDIMMs provide a persistent memory solution to significantly accelerate application performance in server and storage appliances.
Features & Benefits
- Fits standard 288-pin DIMM socket
- During normal operation, NVDIMM will function as a standard RDIMM module
- During a power loss, the contents of the DRAM are automatically backed up to Flash
- NVDIMM with Encryption also offered as an option

Secure Storage Technologies
SafeStor™ Technology
- SMART's DDR4 NVDIMMs feature proprietary SafeStor™ technology, the engine which initiates backup and restore operations from the host controller
- The NVDIMMs also support multiple command delivery options to trigger SafeStor™ backup during a host detected power outage and recovery event
- The SafeStor™ engine also employs multi-channel, fast NAND and high speed switching circuitry to provide robust backup and restore capability, all while functioning as a JEDEC standard DDR4 or DDR3 RDIMM during normal operation
NVDIMM with Encryption
- For financial industry and other applications where protecting data on the NVDIMM is critical
- IEEE developed AES-XTS 256 standard is used to encrypt data
- Key must be supplied by host during POST through the 12C interface to support backup with encryption
- AES-XTS encryption may be enabled or disabled through an NVDIMM 12C registe
