SMART Modular Technologies, Inc. has launched a new line of DDR5 RDIMMs with conformal coating, specifically designed for liquid immersion servers. This innovative product line combines the superior performance of DDR5 technology with enhanced protection, ensuring reliability and longevity in the most demanding data centre environments.

Arthur Sainio, DRAM product director for SMART, explains this introduction's significance: "Our new DDR5 RDIMMs with conformal coating represent the perfect fusion of cutting-edge performance and rugged reliability for the next generation of immersion-cooled data centers. By combining the speed and efficiency of DDR5 technology with advanced protective coatings, we're enabling our customers to push the boundaries of computing power while ensuring long-term durability in demanding liquid immersion environments. This product embodies our commitment to innovation and our drive to meet the evolving needs of high-performance computing applications."

There are three key advantages to designing in DDR5 RDIMMs with conformal coating:

Protection against corrosion: Conformal coating protects against corrosion by shielding sensitive electronic components from corrosive elements and by providing a protective barrier against environmental threats, such as oxidation, extending the lifespan of the memory modules.

Reduced maintenance: Coating modules aids in maintenance needs due to the enhanced protection from corrosion, which results in higher reliability and lower maintenance costs.

Thermal stability: Conformal coating modules provide thermal stability and make them particularly ideal for liquid immersion cooling systems, which are gaining popularity for their efficiency and sustainability. Liquid immersion cooling provides a consistent thermal environment, decreasing the risk of thermal hotspots and enhancing overall system reliability.

The company's DDR5 RDIMMs with conformal coating are designed to support the most demanding workloads, including AI, ML, HPC, and dense database analytics. With support for up to 256GB per module, these modules are perfect for liquid immersion server applications needing large memory capacities and high data throughput.
