High-density DuraMemory for 1U blade application

SMART Modular Technologies has announced its new DuraMemory 64GB DDR4 VLP (Very Low Profile) RDIMM.

Claimed to be one of the industry’s highest densities available in a VLP form factor, the 64GB VLP RDIMM is targeted for embedded 1U blade compute, storage, enterprise networking, telecom, and industrial single board computers (SBCs).

As the newest product added to SMART’s portfolio of DuraMemory VLP and ULP (Ultra Low Profile) modules, its main attributes are:

  • Space savings – VLP RDIMM height of 18.75mm allows for vertical DIMM placement in 1U blades
  • High-density – can achieve up to 768GB in 1U compute and storage blade systems with 12 DIMM sockets
  • High-performance – DDR4-2933 operation

For ruggedized and harsh operating conditions, SMART offers retention clips to secure the socket latches in place and industrial grade temperature operation (-40°C to +85°C).

Compared to generic memory modules, this new high-density solution is part of SMART’s growing DuraMemory family of products which are aimed to address higher durability, reliability and optimum performance necessary to sustain high levels of remote communications that's often required in the modern workplace.
