Huh?
It's in most (if not all) "enterprise" storage stacks.. are you speaking about a specific type of nvram?
- amluto 13y agoIt's now (sort of) available directly. We can stick an NVDIMM in our server and use it as really fast nonvolatile memory, instead of buying a fancy enterprise storage system (Fusion-io, Violin, etc.) that acts like a disk and may contain any of a number of interesting nonvolatile memory technologies. The price, size, and performance characteristics of non-volatile memory in your server and the various fast disk replacements are very different.
- codemac 13y agoI was thinking of things like these: http://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/semiconductors/memory-chips/nvram-memory-chips/ http://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/semiconductors/memory-chips/nv... or these more specifically: http://www.amazon.com/NetApp-Server-NVRAM4-111-00023-201-00006/dp/B00B86SEKI/ http://www.amazon.com/NetApp-Server-NVRAM4-111-00023-201-000... So I guess I didn't take your "NVDIMM" usage seriously enough :) Thanks for the explanation.
