Hardware vendors with early support for PMEM include Dell EMC and HPE. Their solutions are a combination of battery-backed DRAM, some with NAND-Flash modules, and logical PMEM implementations that use DIMMs and NVMe drives.

The virtualization overhead that PMEM uses is nominal at 3 percent, according to VMware, and the benefits include up to eight times increased bandwidth and latency of less than 1 microsecond. The best performance can be achieved when applications are modified to use the PMEM device in a byte-addressable manner.
