Abstract

A memory system (100) and method of operating the same for storing, manipulating, processing, and transferring data in a data network (120). Generally, the memory system (100) includes one or more memory matrixes (110) for storing data therein, a non-volatile storage module (NVSM 130), and a management module (125) coupling the network (120) to the memory matrix and to the NVSM. The management module (125) is configured to enable the network (120) to access the memory matrix (110) during normal operation to provide a primary memory, and to stream data from the primary memory matrix to secondary memory matrixes to the NVSM (130) to provide staged backup memories. Optionally, the memory system (100) further includes an off-line storage module (OLSM 135), and an uninteruptible power supply (UPS 140). In one embodiment, the management module (125) is linked to the network (110), the memory matrix (110), the NVSM (120), the UPS (140) and the OLSM (135) through multiple switched network interfaces (360) with link failover and fail back capability to provide high availability.
