The Telecom Data Challenge: Speed, Scalability and Resiliency
5G, IoT, and the rise of real-time analytics are driving elusive growth in telecom data volumes. Leading operators face unprecedented demand for speed, scalability, and resiliency—yet legacy server memory architectures max out fast, fueling bottlenecks and OPEX bloat. SMART CXL Add-In Cards break this bottleneck, instantly expanding memory on-demand for real-time BSS/OSS, call/session management, fraud analytics, AI/ML, and edge processing—without the need for server or chassis redesign.
Scalable Memory Expansion
- Up to 1TB per card: Plug-in memory via PCIe CXL slots—no need for physical DIMM slots.
- Future-proof: 4-DIMM and 8-DIMM AICs with DDR5 support—adapts to your evolving platform needs.
Unparalleled Performance
- Ultra-low latency (200ns), high bandwidth (up to 64GB/s): Mission-critical for network management, real-time billing, and AI workloads.
- Real-time throughput: Process 100+ billion user sessions/year and millions of CDRs per second without service interruption.
Seamless Scalability
- Memory pooling and sharing with LIQID Composable Memory. Disaggregate and assign memory across clustered servers—no more stranded or over-provisioned RAM.
- Elastic, modular upgrades: Add or redeploy memory as workloads and business grow.
Telecom-Tailored Features & Flexibility
- CXL 2.0 compliant: Highest-capacity add-in solutions on the CXL Consortium's Integrators' List.
- Carrier-grade reliability: End-to-end data path integrity, RAS features (predictive health, secure boot, fleet management).
- Integrates with telco stacks: Compatible with Oracle, Amdocs, Netcracker, Cisco, Avaya, and all major OSS/BSS, real-time analytics, and AI engines.
Operational Efficiency & Cost Reduction
- Up to 60% lower memory costs: Eliminate stranded DIMMs, shrink or delay server refreshes.
- Lower OPEX and power: Pool and power only what’s needed, slashing infrastructure and energy demands by up to 90%.
- Zero chassis redesign: Standard PCIe form factor ensures painless deployment and rapid ROI.
SMART CXL Add-in-Cards: The Ideal Expansion Memory for In-Memory Databases
SMART’s the leader in high-capacity CXL memory Add-in-Cards (AICs). Our innovative Add-in-Cards in densities from 128GB to 1TB today using 128GB DDR5 RDIMMs plug into CXL-compatible PCIe slots. This enables unprecedented capacity of high-bandwidth, low latency memory in the server for peak performance.
