NEW TAIPEI CITY, Taiwan, May 19 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) — SMART Modular Technologies, Inc. (“SMART”), a division of SGH (Nasdaq: 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 software-defined storage functions from the host CPU to the Intel FPGA on the AIC.
SMART’s Kestral memory AICs are ideal for hyperscale, data center, and other similar environments that run large memory applications and would benefit from memory acceleration or system acceleration through computational storage.
