Since servers and other industrial installations thrive on data and memory density, Viking Module Solutions decided to provide this market with a new set of very low profile memory modules, one composed of three members to be exact.

Basically, Viking Modular Solutions created three memory modules that feature the whole set of traits that a product would need for performing well and surviving a long time in demanding environmental conditions.

The first thing that stands out is their very small form factor, an asset in tune with their title of very low profile memory.

To be more specific, they are DDR3 240-pin VLP Registered DIMMs with ruggedized enhancements and compliance with SWaP military COTS requirements.

They all have an operating frequency of 1,333 MHz and work on a current of 1.35 V or 1.5 V, while also being equipped with thermal sensing energy management.

There is also compatibility with the JEDEC Standard MO-269 and a superior thermal performance, from -40 degrees C to 85 degrees C.

"Viking Modular continues to be at the forefront of developing leading DRAM packaging and stacking capabilities," said Adrian Proctor, Vice President of Marketing for Viking Modular Solutions.

"This new DDR3 8GB VLP RDIMM allows our OEM customers in the enterprise server, storage and embedded markets the flexibility to upgrade new or existing platforms to maximum memory capacities," Proctor added.

The RDIMMs are constructed with their maker's patent-pending BGA stacking technology and can also operate at 800 MHz and 1,066 MHz.

Finally, they use 2 Gbit DRAMs and have a capacity of a full 8 GB, which should give the systems they are meant for a very high maximum memory potential.

Viking Module Solutions expects its new trio to end up in such things as storage bridge bays (SBB), AdvancedTCA (ATCA), blade servers and multiple space constrained high performance computing environments.
