Netlist Introduces 16GB, 4Rank Very Low Profile Planar-X RDIMM
High density memory module improves server blade and storage system economics
IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Netlist, Inc. (Nasdaq: NLST), a designer and manufacturer of high-performance memory subsystems, today introduced its 16GB, 4Rank very low profile (VLP) Planar-X RDIMM. Netlist's new 16GB, 4Rank VLP Planar-X RDIMM helps to reduce power consumption in today's servers by operating at 1.35V, consuming 19 percent less power than 1.5V modules. By enhancing overall performance while reducing operation costs, the module is ideal for server blades, Storage Bridge-Bay (SBB) applications, telecom servers, switches and routers.
"By leveraging our intellectual property portfolio, Netlist continues to deliver high-performance memory products beyond the limits of standard, commodity DRAMs," said Steve McClure, vice president of worldwide sales and marketing for Netlist. "With datacenters demanding more compute capability per unit volume, our 16GB VLP memory module enables OEM customers to provide Storage Bridge Bay and Blade servers with greater memory density using mainstream 2Gb DRAM."
Netlist's new 16GB, 4Rank VLP module enables high-memory density by leveraging the benefits of the Company's patented Planar-X technology. The innovative circuit design of Planar-X boards allows twice the number of DRAM components within standard DIMM dimensions using two printed circuit boards connected by a flex circuit. This enables the use of 72 2Gb DRAM in 36 4Gb dual die packages instead of 36 4Gb DRAM in 18 8Gb dual die packages thereby lowering the overall cost of the module while achieving the same capacity as a standard 16GB 4Rank VLP RDIMM module.
This product joins Netlist's robust portfolio of VLP RDIMMs and UDIMMs for DDR3, and legacy DDR1/ DDR2 technologies.
Netlist is now sampling lead customers. For additional information on Netlist's 16GB VLP RDIMM memory module, please visit http://www.netlist.com/vlp.
