Centon Releases New Server Memory

After all the desktop products announced recently, it is actually quite refreshing to see something unrelated for a change, even though it isn't going to directly enrich the lives of consumers all that much.

And by “it” we mean the new server memory that Centon Electronics officially introduced not overly long ago.

This isn't an occasion where a company brings out some massive lineup of RAM kits and modules.

Instead, Centon has completed the development of a 16 GB ECC Registered DIMM that can have VLP or LP form factors.

That is to say, it can be a 240 pin DDR3 VLP (very-low profile) 0.74-inch Registered Mini-DIMM or a 204-pin SODIMM.

The capacity of 16 GB is either provided by just one module or achieved by a kit of two 8 GB.

That said, the speed is PC3-12800 (1600MT/S), the latency is CL11, the operating voltage is 1.35V and the chip configuration is 1024MX8 Based (Stacked-two 512Mx8).

"The ability to go beyond the normal memory will boost and be great for graphics designers, video editors on the go, IT professionals, network administrators, web hosts, or anybody who wants to push their computer to the limits of its performance," said Gary Clack, product manager at Centon Electronics Inc.

Centon's high-density DDR3 memory modules and kits can lack ECC (error correcting code) or be of the regular ECC or ECC Registered varieties.

Finally, the spec sheet includes RoHS compliance and lists the operational temperature as ranging from 0 to 95 degrees Celsius.

Centon Electronics is an American private, multinational corporation that develops both RAM-based memory as well as flash products. It also provides contract manufacturing and supply chain management services.

Its customer, distributor and OEM chain extends across the entire world, but the brand is still relatively unknown, although it might just be because it doesn't bother with the consumer segment, which gets more of the media's attention.
