NVDIMM- A Computer Memory RAM DIMM that Retains Data Even After Power Loss

NVDIMM is a module integrated into the main memory of the computing platform, capable of performing the workload at dynamic random access memory (DRAM) speeds. This combines DRAM and NAND technologies, enabling data retention even when there is an unexpected power loss or system crash. The integration of these memory technologies allows NVDIMMs to achieve speed and endurance of DRAM along with the data retention characteristics of NAND flash memory. Thus, NVDIMMs are persistent memory modules with high speed and low latency. They improve performance in applications such as storage, cache, indexing, message queuing, logging, batch processing, on-line transactions, and redundant array of independent disks (RAID) applications that require higher throughput, while simultaneously offering fault-tolerant data integrity. The high performance of these devices is crucial to hyper-scale computing environments that are focused on cloud computing, big data analytics, low latency and high performance database applications. Thus, NVDIMMs are primarily aimed for huge in-memory computing tasks such as ultra-speed in-memory transactional database systems including those used in search engines and hyper-scale computing applications. Superior capabilities offered by NVDIMMs in terms of I/O performance, latency, and data security have fueled adoption of this technology, especially in data sensitive mission critical applications.

Global NVDIMM market was valued at US$ 3.3 mn in 2014 and is expected to reach US$1,316.3 mn by 2021, at a CAGR of 136.6% from 2015 to 2021. The global NVDIMM market is mainly driven by the benefits offered by NVDIMMs in terms of I/O performance, endurance, speed, latency, and data retention which has fueled their adoption in enterprise servers and storage products. NVDIMM is integrated into the main memory of the computing platform (server). It enables data retention even when the electric power is discontinued. These are used to improve system crash recovery time, enhance data security and the reliability and endurance of Solid State Drives (SSDs) among others. This combines of subsystem that integrates the data retention characteristics of the NAND flash memory along with the endurance and speed of DRAM. This integration makes NVDIMM a persistent memory module with low latency and very high speed.

Thanks to this high level of performance, the demand for NVDIMM is expected to soar exponentially in the coming years
