Bringing SSD Performance to the DIMM form factor
The ULLtraDIMM™ SSD connects flash storage to the memory channel via standard DIMM slots, in order to close the gap between storage devices and system memory. It can achieve less than five microseconds write latency at the DIMM level, enabling a new generation of software requiring ultra-low latency. ULLtraDIMM SSDs use SanDisk’s proprietary Guardian Technology™ Platform to meet the endurance needs of write-intensive and mixed-use application workloads.

Applications

Specifications

Product FAQ

Big Data Analytics
The ULLtraDIMM SSDsupports analytics workloads, which leverage large data-sets and work with databases and data warehouses. The ULLtraDIMM SSD’s processing speed supports faster time-to-results for business managers.

Database

Processes large data-sets associated with databases and other data-intensive workloads.

Reduces total processing time, compared to hard-drive drives (HDDs).

Non-volatile memory support business continuity in the event of a power outage.

Financial Transactions

For high-frequency trading (HFT) where transaction speed is critical to outcomes.

Supports online transaction processing (OLTP), an application workload that relies on fast data rates.

Enables faster IT processing for faster business time-to-results.

Server Virtualization

Flash can be leveraged to avoid storage I/O bottlenecks that are associated with highly virtualized workloads. This approach avoids I/O round-trips as data is moved from the servers to access more storage capacity on a storage area network (SAN) and back. Instead, data is collected in clusters of flash-enabled server devices for faster processing.

Flash hypervisors support quick and easy scaling up of storage performance on flash-enabled devices.

Many virtual machines (VMs) virtual machines can be mapped to a set of flash devices, based on resource-management policies defined by IT data center administrators. The result is faster read and write times.

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)
The ULLtraDIMM SSD supports hundreds of individual end-user “sessions” running on the server, instead of on local PCs; and it avoids “boot-storms” that often slow VDI response times when large numbers of end-users start up their VDI applications.
