Storage class memory (SCM), a new memory and storage technology, combines aspects of standard flash storage and dynamic random-access memory (DRAM). It allows SCM to be used in either SSD storage or memory use cases by extending the performance advantage of DRAM to stateful persistent storage.
It is referred to as “persistent memory.” Different media types are used by SCM hardware to address capacity, cost, endurance, and performance challenges.
The move from rotating mechanical storage, such as disc drives, to solid-state, non-volatile RAM depends heavily on Storage Class Memory SCM. SCM claims to provide solutions that are more energy-efficient and higher performing than current SLC/MLC NAND flash products.
When compared to NAND flash, Storage Class Memory SCM is faster for reading and writing operations. Additionally, because it is substantially more durable due to its increased endurance qualities.
The Global Storage Class Memory market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Intel and other chip makers have increased memory bandwidth in response to the demand for in-memory processing, which is increasingly used in big data applications like interactive database queries.
According to Intel, permanent memory queries execute eight times quicker than DRAM storage combinations while running analytics workloads such as the Spark-based cluster computing framework.
Requirements for permanent memory have increased recently as a result of the proliferation of application containers in data centres. As a result, vendors in the market ecosystem highlight the benefits of higher persistent memory tiers, such as better CPU and server utilisation and faster distributed application delivery.
As it improves performance and efficiency, persistent memory can also greatly expand memory capacity, reaching up to some Gigabytes. Due to the presence of significant players like Samsung and Panasonic, who control the market with their products, the market for storage-class memory is consolidated.
Additionally, since SCM’s manufacturing costs are high, it is difficult for new competitors to enter the market and gain market share. As a result, the trend is anticipated to persist during the projection period.
The Linux Foundation’s Software-Enabled Flash technology will now have a new software-defined interface, according to Kioxia, which made a number of other announcements . The open source project replaces outdated HDD protocols with adaptable flash storage that makes better use of the technology. Additionally, Kioxia unveiled an update to its FL6 storage class memory as well as a new PCIe Gen 5 SSD family SCM.
The first 176-layer NAND SSD for vertically integrated data centres has been released, as per Micron Technology, Inc. With less than two milliseconds of quality-of-service (QoS) latency, the widest capacity range, and the most form factors, the Micron 7450 SSD with NVMeTM satisfies the demands of the most demanding datacenter workloads. additional storage-class memory (SCM), such as 3D Xpoint.
The FL6 Series enterprise NVMe SCM SSDs from KIOXIA America introduce XL-Flash. With its two interfaces and PCIe 4.0 compatibility, KIOXIA FL6 Series SSDs bridge the gap between DRAM and TLC-based drives, making them the ideal option for latency-sensitive applications.
The XL-FLASH SCM offers low latency and excellent performance for the data centre and enterprise storage since it is based on KIOXIA’s own BiCS FLASH 3D flash memory technology with 1-bit-per-cell SLC.
XL-FLASH, a Storage Class Memory (SCM) product from Toshiba Memory America, Inc., has been made publicly available. Based on Toshiba’s 1-bit-per-cell SLC BiCS FLASH 3D flash memory technology, XL-FLASH is a flash memory product. Through cost-effectively lowering latency, the new SCM technology seeks to provide high performance to the enterprise.
Hewlett-Packard and SanDisk announced a partnership to create “Storage Class Memory” (SCM), which has the potential to replace DRAM and is 1,000 times quicker than NAND flash.
Based on SanDisk’s ReRAM memory technology and HP’s memristor (a revolutionary type of resistor), which the two firms have been researching for at least five years, the SCM products will be marketed for use in enterprise cloud infrastructures.
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and Netlist, Inc. have engaged into a five-year Joint Development and License Agreement to develop a new class of NVDIMM-P (NV-P) memory solutions based on Samsung’s leading NAND Flash and DRAM technology and Netlist’s innovative HyperVault technology.
In order to speed up market adoption and reach a sizable client base in the server and storage, big data, and cloud computing industries, the firms will cooperate to develop a common product interface.
