BOISE, Idaho and GLASGOW, United Kingdom, May 15, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)
-- Crucial, a leading global brand of memory and storage upgrades,
today announced the immediate availability of Crucial Load-Reduced DIMM
(LRDIMM) server memory in support of the new Intel(R) Xeon(R) processor
E5 family. The rise of data center virtualization, cloud computing, and
transactional databases has put additional strain on enterprise
servers, causing them to struggle to meet user demands. Crucial LRDIMM
server memory supports higher memory densities than standard DDR3
RDIMMs, allowing the addition of more DIMMs per channel, and providing
flexible, scalable memory that allows applications to perform more
effectively. By reducing the electrical loads presented to the CPU,
Crucial LRDIMMs deliver up to twice the installed memory capacity for
Intel(R) Xeon processor E5 family-based servers, and increase memory
bandwidth by up to 35 percent over standard DDR3 RDIMM modules, helping
improve overall data center performance and efficiency.

"With adoption of server virtualization, cloud computing, and database
applications on the rise, servers and server applications are
constantly evolving. As the number of processor cores increases within
the data center, server memory must keep pace to enable them to handle
heavier workloads," said Michael Moreland, worldwide product marketing
manager, Crucial. "These cores are starving for high-performance memory
that can handle increased processing loads both now and in the future,
which is why Crucial is committed to supporting advancements in server
technologies with compatible, high-quality server memory."

Crucial DDR3-1333MHz 1.35V LRDIMM server memory is Intel(R)-validated,
halogen-free and RoHS compliant. Available in densities up to 32GB and
kits up to 96GB, Crucial LRDIMMs are backed by a limited lifetime
warranty and are rigorously tested to meet or exceed the high-quality
performance specifications customers have come to expect from Crucial.
They are available now through select global channel partners, or
