NVRAM with a RTC to store the acquired data.
The Edge filer contains 144GB of DRAM, 2GB
NVRAM and 800GB of SSD to accelerate the read, write and metadata performance of most active data.
The Avere FXT 3800 Edge filer contains 144GB of DRAM, 2GB
NVRAM and 800GB of SSD to accelerate the read, write and metadata performance of most active data.
The Avere FXT 3100 Edge filer contains 48GB of DRAM and 1GB
NVRAM to accelerate the read, write and metadata performance of most active data.
WEP/WPA/WPA2 security protocols ensure host protection, and firmware/configuration parameters are stored in on-board
NVRAM.
NetApp added 50% more memory in this array compared to its predecessor for a total of 12GB of
NVRAM. The array can now also use 2.5-in solid-state drives (SSDs), along with traditional SAS, SATA and Fibre Channel drives.
The most frequently accessed data is dynamically stored on a combination of DRAM,
NVRAM and SLC Flash SSD tiers on the FXT 2700.
Anything that requires monitoring is a candidate for these chips including medical equipment, metering, servers, ADSL, point-of-sale,
NVRAM, automotive, instrumentation and industrial hardware.
Reliability features include: redundant hot-pluggable power supplies and cooling fans; battery-backed
NVRAM; ECC memory protection; redundant copies of the OS; and a cableless design for rapid component upgrades and repairs.--Network Appliance
The graph shows four different configurations: without message replication, with message replication, with message replication using
NVRAM for the logs, and finally for the conventional configuration of sendmail+popd.
Recently, cheaper electronic forms of NVM (e.g.,
NVRAM) have become available.
