LOW POWER CONSUMING DDR2 (1.5V)

One of the major energy problems with datacenters of today is that 85% of centers use legacy products. Memory modules utilized in most datacenters consume an average of 2.4V to 1.8V per module. However, with STEC’s 1.5V DDR2 modules, power consumption is reduced to help create more energy efficient servers. See chart below for the illustration of energy consumption for legacy product vs. STEC’s 1.5V DDR2.

DDR vs. STANDARD DDR2 vs. LOW VOLTAGE DDR2

WHY THE CONCERN ON POWER CONSUMPTION?

With price expenditures for cooling datacenters growing into the billions, IT organizations are looking for new and better ways to reduce power consumption because of increasing electricity cost. Reducing power consumption can possible reduce operation cost, infrastructure cost, cooling cost and reduce natural resources.

WHY DDR2 1.5V?

Servers currently utilize DDR2 1.8V and in some cases legacy DDR 2.4V, with the reduction to 1.5V, servers are able to reduce energy consumption by 15% and 30% respectively.
