Dataram First to Upgrade Sun Fire 3800 Server To 128GB Of Memory.Business Editors PRINCETON, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 22, 2003 Doubles Memory Capacity of Sun's Midframe Servers with advanced 8GB memory upgrade In yet another of a long history of first-to-market products, 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), announced the immediate availability of the industry's first 8GB memory upgrade for Sun Microsystems' Sun Fire 3800, 4800 and 6800 midframe servers. This innovative memory upgrade enables customers to double the maximum capacity of these systems and is not available from any other memory company. Dataram's own in-house Sun Fire 3800 server is configured with 128GB of memory and successfully passed all in-house development validations, both hardware and software. Dataram's 8GB memory upgrades, DRS DRS Drives (street suffix) DRS Dispute Resolution Service DRS Doctorandus DRS Department of Rehabilitative Services DRS Direct Registration System (securities) DRS Department of Rehabilitation Services 4800/8192, can now configure the Sun Fire 4800 to 192GB and the Sun Fire 6800 to an impressive 384GB. Before today, the only alternatives customers had to increase memory capacity were to either purchase another Sun Uniboard with only 16GB of memory, or a more expensive server containing unneeded extra processors. Both options are very costly and yield only 8GB of memory per processor. Sun's 3800, 4800 and 6800 servers share common Uniboard CPU/Memory Boards configured with either 2 or 4 UltraSPARC III processors and contain 32 DIMM (Dual In-Line Memory Module) A printed circuit board that holds memory chips and plugs into a DIMM socket on the motherboard. See memory module. DIMM - Dual In-Line Memory Module slots. Memory is arranged in eight banks of four DIMMs. Sun Fire midframe servers contain from one to six Uniboards. Memory intensive applications such as EDA (1) (Electronic Design Automation) Using the computer to design, lay out, verify and simulate the performance of electronic circuits on a chip or printed circuit board. , MCAD MCAD Microsoft Certified Application Developer MCAD Mechanical Computer Aided Design MCAD Medium-Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase (inherited metabolic disease) MCAD Minneapolis College of Art and Design , PLM (Product Life cycle Management) A comprehensive information system that coordinates all aspects of a product from initial concept to its eventual retirement. Sometimes called the "digital backbone" of a product, it includes the requirements phase, analysis and design , life science simulations and market trading databases require massive amounts of memory and 16GB of memory per processor is considered ideal. These tasks involve loading very large datasets entirely into main memory while a complex simulation and verification executes. The increased speed and productivity provides companies with the competitive edge of time to market. For financial services firms, trading data is kept accurate and timely with every tick of the market--even on days of extremely high trading volume. Dataram's DRS4800/8192 is an 8GB upgrade consisting of four low-profile 2GB 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. ECC (1) (Error-Correcting Code) A type of memory that corrects errors on the fly. See ECC memory. (2) (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) A public key cryptography method that provides fast decryption and digital signature processing. DIMMs and has been engineered with Sun Microsystems' patented technology, available for use under a licensing agreement between Dataram and Sun. This and all Dataram memory is backed by a lifetime warranty and free technical support. Product Offerings: Capacity Configuration Dataram Sun -------- ------------- ------- --- 8GB 4 x 2GB DIMMS DRS4800/8192 Does Not Offer Other capacities available for these systems: 1GB 4 x 256MB DIMMS DRS280/1024 X7053A 2GB 4 x 512MB DIMMS DRS280/2048 X7051A 4GB 4 x 1GB DIMMS DRS280/4096 X7056A The DRS4800/8192 is supported in Sun Fire 3800, 4800, 4810, and 6800 servers with 900MHz processors or faster.
