NEWARK, Calif., Sept 18 (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 advanced memory, announces a proprietary technology to mitigate the adverse impact of single event upsets (SEUs) in high-reliability flash-memory based systems. SMART Modular’s MP3000 NVMe SSD products with SEU mitigation reduce annual failure rates from as high as 17.5k/Mu (million units) to less than 10/Mu and can save hundreds of thousands of dollars in potential service costs by helping to ensure hundreds of hours of uninterrupted uptime, especially important for tough-to-repair remote deployments.
“Our industry standard SATA and PCIe NVMe boot drives can slash annual failure rates by as much 99.7% by recovering from soft errors due to single event upsets,” states Satya Iyer, SMART’s vice president of specialty memory. “In networking and telecom applications in remote and hard-to-service locations, SEU mitigation and the ability to recover from soft errors can make the difference for systems that require 24/7 uptime.”
