Samsung’s 4Gb green DDR3 memory enables first 2TB capacity on x86 4-socket HP Blade server

SAN JOSE, USA: Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd announced that its 4Gb DDR3 DRAM memory has been selected for use in two new HP ProLiant G7 servers, the world’s first x86 four-socket blade with 2TBs of memory capacity and the first x86 two-socket blade server with 1TB of memory capacity.

Utilizing HP-selected lower power consumption, higher performance memory with Samsung Green DDR3 technology, as well as the Intel Xeon processor E7 family, the new HP DL580 G7, BL680c G7, and BL620c G7 servers have been designed to provide exceptional energy efficiency and outstanding performance in virtualized IT environments.

Data center power and cooling issues are critical to IT managers chartered with extending operational capacities and optimizing performance, while reducing power consumption.

Consumes 33 percent less energy than a 1.5V 2Gb-based DDR3 memory chip – the most widely used in the industry today – the new Samsung Green memory makes use of advanced 40nm-class* 1.35V 4Gb-based DRAM technology.

“Samsung’s new Green memory, here combined with HP’s x86 G7 servers, is helping to provide the greenest computing environments for data centers,” said Jim Elliott, vice president, memory marketing and product planning, Samsung Semiconductor. "We believe IT managers will quickly see the benefits of creating shared value with Samsung Green memory, to provide the best ROI for daily operations and sustainable business practices."
