KUALA LUMPUR, May 19 (Bernama) -- SMART Modular Technologies Inc (SMART), a division of SGH and a global leader in memory solutions, solid-state drives, and hybrid storage products announces its new SMART Kestral™ PCIe Optane™ Memory Add-in-Card (AIC) which is able to add up to 2TB of Optane Memory expansion on a PCIe-Gen4-x16 or PCIe-Gen3-x16 interface independent of the motherboard CPU. SMART’s Kestral AICs accelerate selected algorithms by offloading softwaredefined storage functions from the host CPU to the Intel FPGA on the AIC.
SMART’s Kestral memory AICs are ideal for hyperscale, data centre, and other similar environments that run large memory applications and would benefit from memory acceleration or system acceleration through computational storage.
“With the advancement of new interconnect standards such as CXL and OpenCAPI, SMART’s new family of SMART Kestral AICs addresses the industry’s need for a variety of new memory module form factors and interfaces for memory expansion and acceleration,” said Mike Rubino, SMART Modular’s vice president of engineering in a statement.
“SMART is able to leverage our many years of experience in developing and productizing controller-based memory solutions to meet today’s emerging and continually evolving memory add-on needs of server and storage system customers.”
Among key benefits are more memory per server at lower cost per gigabyte; field upgrades for new algorithms and protocols; and seamless upgrades for existing servers with custom memory solutions; and, support for multiple memory technologies and protocols, including Intel Optane DIMMs, DDR4 RDIMMs, and LRDIMMs.
