Arthur Sainio, DRAM product director for SMART explains the significance of this introduction, “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.

1. 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.
2. Reduced maintenance - Coating modules aids in maintenance requirements due to the enhanced protection from corrosion, which results in higher reliability and lower maintenance costs.
3. Thermal stability – Conformal coating modules provides thermal stability and makes them particularly well suited for liquid immersion cooling systems, which are gaining popularity for their efficiency and sustainability. Liquid immersion cooling offers a consistent thermal environment, reducing the risk of thermal hotspots and improving overall system reliability.

SMART’s DDR5 RDIMMs with conformal coating are designed to support the most demanding workloads, including artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), high-performance computing (HPC), and dense database analytics. With support for up to 256GB per module, these modules are perfect for liquid immersion server applications requiring large memory capacities and high data throughput.

SMART’s DDR5 RDIMMs with conformal coating are available immediately through our global sales network. Visit SMART’s liquid immersion RDIMM page for more information.
