Dataram Announces Memory Upgrades for Compaq AlphaServer ES45 And SC45 Supercomputers; Dataram is First Independent to Provide Memory Upgrades for ES 45 and SC Systems.Business & High Tech Editors PRINCETON, NJ--(BUSINESS WIRE)--October 31, 2001 Dataram Corporation (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on : DRAM), a leading provider of server, workstation, and PC memory, today became the first independent memory manufacturer to deliver upgrades for Compaq's new AlphaServer ES45 and AlphaServer SC45 systems. The AlphaServer ES45, Compaq's newest mid-range server, supports up to four 1GHz 64-bit Alpha EV68 processors and 32GB of memory. The AlphaServer SC45 is a scalable supercomputer aimed at projects that require massive amounts of processing power, such as genome research Genome Research is the title of a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press. The focus of the journal is on genome-wide studies in any organism, including single gene studies that are placed in a genomic context. , resource intensive e-business and database applications. Both systems support Tru64 UNIX The 64-bit Unix operating system for HP's AlphaServers. Formerly Digital Unix when Alpha was a product family from Digital Equipment Corporation, it was renamed Tru64 Unix in 1999 by Compaq (HP acquired Compaq in 2002). and the ES45 is also available with OpenVMS and Linux. Dataram is supplying 1, 2, and 4GB memory upgrades for these systems. Each product consists of four ECC-protected 133MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) A type of dynamic RAM (DRAM) memory chip that has been widely used since the late 1990s. SDRAM chips eliminated wait states by dividing the chip into two cell blocks and interleaving data between them. DIMMs. The memory bus operates at 125MHz (8ns), which is a 66% performance increase over the AlphaServer ES40 systems that operated at 83MHz (12ns). Dataram guarantees its memory to be fully compatible with the ES45 and SC45 systems and offers it at substantial savings over Compaq's prices. "Just when Alpha appeared to be a mature technology, Compaq unleashes the fastest AlphaServer ever! The ES45/SC45 deliver breakthrough performance in a smaller footprint and at a lower cost--made even lower when you configure the servers with Dataram memory," stated Paul Henke, Dataram's Director of Product Marketing.
