Accelerator purpose and capacity

This EMC NV-1616 card adds 16GB of DDR non-volatile memory to compatible enterprise storage arrays and servers. It accelerates I/O operations by providing a high-speed caching layer that retains data during power loss. The PCIe form factor allows direct installation into supported EMC systems. Mission-critical workloads benefit from reduced latency and faster response times.

Who should use it and who should not

Storage administrators managing select EMC arrays that support this accelerator will gain improved caching throughput and data integrity. The card is built for enterprise environments where non-volatile write acceleration is required. It is not suited for general-purpose compute servers lacking compatible EMC storage firmware. Buyers needing volatile memory expansion or consumer PCIe add-in cards should look elsewhere.

Deciding specification

The defining attribute is the 16GB DDR NVRAM capacity combined with the NV-1616 part number, which determines compatibility with specific EMC storage arrays and enterprise servers. Only systems qualified for this exact model can recognise and use the accelerator. Verify the array or server documentation lists NV-1616 support before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does the NV-1616 ship with any cables or brackets or must they be ordered separately?

The card is supplied as a standalone PCIe accelerator; mounting hardware and cables are not included and should be sourced to match the target server chassis.

The model number is NV-1616 — does the 1616 suffix indicate a different capacity tier?

The suffix reflects the 16 GB DDR NVRAM capacity; no other capacity variants are referenced for this part number.

What does the 16 GB DDR NVRAM figure mean for latency when the card is installed in an EMC array?

The 16 GB of non-volatile DDR memory serves as a high-speed cache tier that absorbs write bursts and serves hot reads, cutting I/O latency for mission-critical workloads.
