14 DAY TRIAL // Super Talent Technology, one of the world's leading vendors of Flash-based storage products and DRAM memory modules, has announced today the launch of its new, very low profile (VLP) DDR3-1333 Registered DIMM, specifically designed to meet the performance and design requirements of today's server systems. The new modules are targeted at servers built inside compact and low-profile enclosures, providing them with the performance of the latest DDR3 memory technology.
“We made this product for high density servers and embedded computers where space inside the chassis is severely constrained,” explained Super Talent Director of Marketing Joe James. “VLP modules also make sense in 1U servers since their small stature improves airflow inside the chassis.”
According to the technical specifications of these new modules from Super Talent, customers will be able to take advantage of the performance enabled by the DDR3 memory chips, on a registered module that is only 0.72 inches tall, approximately half of what a standard DDR3 module measures. In addition, the low-profile design of the new solutions is also a noteworthy feature that needs to be taken into consideration when talking about the shipping prices and the environmental effects of the modules. According to Super Talent, the VLP DIMMs use 40% less PCB material to produce and weigh about 20% less compared to standard DDR3 memory modules.
Like all of the company's server-focused DDR3 memory solutions, the new VLP modules have been designed with a built-in JEDEC standard thermal sensor in the EEPROM, designed to measure the actual temperature on the module. This feature ensures that the module works within normal parameters and delivers a stable performance for server systems.
No word on pricing just yet, but according to Super Talent the new module, part number W13VB2G8x, is already available through the company's OEM sales force.
