HPE 16GB NVDIMM option
HPE NVDIMMs are flash-backed NVDIMMs used as fast storage and are designed to eliminate smaller
storage bottlenecks. The HPE 16GB NVDIMM for HPE ProLiant Gen10 servers is ideal for smaller database
storage bottlenecks, write caching tiers, and any workload constrained by storage bottlenecks.
The HPE 16GB NVDIMM is supported on select HPE ProLiant Gen10 servers with first generation Intel Xeon
Scalable processors. The server can support up to 12 NVDIMMs in 2 socket servers (up to 192GB) and up to
24 NVDIMMs in 4 socket servers (up to 384GB). The HPE Smart Storage Battery provides backup power to
the memory slots allowing data to be moved from the DRAM portion of the NVDIMM to the Flash portion for
persistence during a power down event.
For more information on HPE NVDIMMs, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/
info/persistentmemory).
NVDIMM-processor compatibility
HPE 16GB NVDIMMs are only supported in servers with first generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors
installed.
