Storage class memory

Storage Class Memory (SCM) is a type of technology that bridges the gap between fast, expensive memory like RAM and slower, cheaper storage like hard drives. It provides quicker access to data than traditional storage devices, enabling computers to process information more efficiently. SCM can retain data even when power is lost, similar to a hard drive, but it operates at speeds closer to RAM. This allows systems to run faster while maintaining data persistence, improving performance in data centers, servers, and high-end computing environments without significantly increasing costs.
