Samsung Electronics, the largest producer of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) and solid state drives (SSDs) in the world, is making a strong case for how its DDR3 memory chips and SSDs can sharply reduce data center costs. They can be installed in arrays of servers as alternatives to far less-efficient 1.8V DDR2 memory and higher-voltage hard disk drives, respectively. With anywhere from dozens to thousands of servers in any given data center, the potential for substantial cost savings with DDR3 and SSDs is enormous. DDR3 can be specified at 1.35Volts for a 70 percent improvement over its predecessor, and enterprise SSDs can process as much as 100 times the number of IOPs per watt as a 15K rpm SAS HDD, with a very low heat load. The webcast you will now see covers this and much more, providing you with compelling insight as to why Samsung Enterprise SSDs and Samsung 40nm Green DDR3 will deliver more powerful green IT solutions, helping immensely to put the brakes on unnecessary energy drain.
