Densest Server Memory from Micron Technology

Micron Technology has introduced the world's densest server memory module, a 16-Gigabyte device that enables customers to access mission-critical data more quickly and efficiently.

Data retention, reliability and availability are major concerns for several types of enterprise institutions that process large amounts of data as part of their core business. So many popular applications are powered by the memory technology: sectors like online shopping and banking are lucrative businesses collecting and retaining company data every day, which requires extensive amounts of memory to operate. Maximum memory provides the quick processing response consumers expect when shopping on the Web.

The 16-Gigabyte module encompasses 72 2-Gigabit double data rate 2 (DDR2) die, packaged as 36 4-Gigabit TwinDie components which were developed on Micron's industry leading 78-nanometer 6F process node. Micron's innovative TwinDie stacking technology allows fewer and shorter connection routes to the chips, enabling faster access to customer data and ultra-thin form factors. To grasp the small size of each of these 2-Gigabit DDR2 chips, consider that each die is equal to the size of a letter key on your computer's keyboard.

In addition to maximum memory, Micron produces the broadest range of memory products in the industry specifically designed for the server market. The company currently provides seven generations of server memory with component densities ranging from 64-Megabit through 2-Gigabit. These products represent three technologies: Single Data Rate (SDR), Double Data Rate (DDR) and DDR2.
