PERFORMANCE + PERSISTENCE
AGIGARAM® is a new class of non-volatile memory developed
to meet the need for higher-performance persistent memory
for enterprise-class storage and server applications. By
combining industry-standard DRAM and NAND Flash technology,
AGIGARAM provides the low latency and nearly innite endurance
of DRAM, along with the non-volatility of Flash.
During normal operation, AGIGARAM appears to the host
system as a standard JEDEC DRAM memory module. In the
event of an unexpected power loss, the critical data residing in
the DRAM is saved to onboard NAND Flash using a battery-
free power source based on ultracapacitors. When power is
returned, the in-memory state of the DRAM at the time power
was lost is restored from the Flash. The recovery time from
a catastrophic power-loss event is almost immediate since the
restore operation takes a matter of seconds and recharging the
ultracapacitors takes only minutes. AGIGARAM is designed to
integrate easily into the DIMM slots of industry-standard server
and storage platforms, providing the fastest possible persistent
memory for use cases such as write caching, metadata storage
and other in-memory computing applications.

THE NEED FOR SPEED
NVDIMMs provide byte- or block-addressable persistent memory that runs at DRAM speeds. This allows
main system memory to maintain it’s in-memory state in the event of undexpected power failure or
system crash. By having this persistence, NVDIMMs can provide a signicant boost to I/O performance
in a host of applications including storage and database acceleration. In tiered storage architectures
for example, NVDIMMs can be a signicant complementary technology to SSDs (or other non-volatile
media). NVDIMMs can improve the reliability and endurance of SSDs by lowering the access frequency
of the NAND and thereby limiting wear-out. “Superhot” data can be targeted to the NVDIMMs, while
the “hot” data can be held in the SSD.
BATTERY-FREE BACKUP
AgigA Tech has pioneered the use of a battery-free power source based on ultracapacitor technology
for NVDIMMs. Ultracaps are more reliable and perhaps more importantly degrade more predictably
than batteries. Ultracaps also do not require maintenace and do not have any hazardous material
or safety concerns. All AgigA Tech products utilize ultracapacitors that have gone through rigorous
reliability and accelerated life testing at AgigA Tech’s reliability test lab, which has been running ultracap
testing continuously for over 6 years.
MULTIPLE OPTIONS AVAILABLE
In addition to offering multiple memory module capacities, AgigA Tech also offers multiple form factors
for the PowerGEM (Green Energy Module) ultracapacitor power supply. Below is just a sampling of the
options available.
*Additional standard and custom PowerGEM form factors available.
