Kingston Intros New Line of Server Memory Modules
Much like a certain company has made a move on the enterprise storage market segment, Kingston is doing something on the server and microserver random access memory industry.
The company might as well have teamed up with Seagate. With the latter covering the storage front with its Terascle HDD, Kingston would handle the RAM side.
"New low power SoC designs such as Intel's Avoton and ARM-based designs from Calxeda, Applied Micro and Marvell have allowed early adopters to bring microservers to the server market," said Mark Tekunoff, senior technology manager, Kingston.
"As the microserver ecosystem and marketplace develops and grows, we are here to serve our partners and customers with low-power, high-performance memory offerings."
Kingston's new memory offering is composed of 1.35v low-voltage ECC SO-DIMMs and unregistered DIMMs in 1600MHz and 1333MHz frequencies.
Obviously, the modules support both x86 and ARM-based processors and SoC designs.
The "low-end" module, so to speak, is a 2 GB ECC SO-DIMM on 1.35V and 1,333 MHz frequency. From there, the capacity grows to 4 GB and then 8 GB.
The unregistered DIMMs come only in 4 GB and 8 GB, one of each working at 1,333 MHz and 1,600 MHz. The list up on the left should explain everything.
All in all, it's not a bad way to celebrate the 25th anniversary, considering that Kingston has been launching products one after another these past few months.
"Kingston is celebrating 25 years in the memory industry. The company was founded on October 17, 1987, and has grown to become the largest third-party memory manufacturer in the world," Tekunoff said.
"The 25th anniversary video and information including a timeline of Kingston's history can be found here. In addition, HyperX memory is celebrating its 10th anniversary. The first HyperX high-performance memory module was released in November 2002."
