To increase the speed of SSDs there is PCI Express interface, which has a higher bandwidth than SATA ports or SAS. Meanwhile, SanDisk has gone a step further and developed the drives that are installed in slot DIMM, designed for memory modules. These are called SSD ULLtraDIMM and, according to SanDisk, they have latencies of less than 5 ms, which is approximately 10 times smaller than the characteristic for drives in PCI Express level.
In the event Flash Memory Summit, it was announced that the company will introduce Supermicro ULLtraDIMM drives in their own servers. In particular, we are talking about the platforms Green SuperServer and SuperStorage. SanDisk memory devices will accelerate work-intensive applications such as databases, virtual desktops, and more.
ULLtraDIMM modules based on memory chips and controllers SanDisk and compatible with connectors DIMM. Also used in storage technology company Diablo Technologies for data exchange between the processor and SSD protocols DDR3. Capacity ULLtraDIMM equal to 200 or 400 GB. Related Products :
