Power-Saving Solutions That Make a Difference

There are at least two things we have in common. First, we all love to save. Second, we want to please our customers. That said, you should know that you can accomplish both those things with Aspen Memory®. Our energy-efficient Aspen Memory modules reduce server power consumption by 30-45%, slash cooling costs, and keep up consistent performance.

These 1.35V DDR3 and 1.5V DDR2 reduced chip count (RCC) modules are specially made for data center servers, where memory is a real power hog. With a reduced chip count, they deliver the same performance and memory capacity with half the number of components. And because there are fewer modules, there’s less heat generated, so cooling costs are lower—along with overall power consumption costs.

For data centers, a combination of blade, virtualization, and memory technologies may be required to increase scalability, agility, and overall efficiency. Find out more about what Aspen Memory technology can add to that equation.

Low-Power DRAM Components

Our low-voltage, 1.5V DDR2 components are built on true 1.5V process technology, bypassing the inefficiencies of a voltage regulator. This translates to even greater power savings—an additional 15–20% over and above other 1.5V solutions. And our DDR3 memory is even more efficient—1.35V versus the standard 1.5V for DDR3.


Aspen Memory DDR2 FBDIMMs

Maximize your energy savings at the microchip level by using energy-efficient 1.5V FBDIMMs. Other than the voltage change, using 1.5V FBDIMMs is transparent to your system. The performance, timing, and other operating requirements for 1.5V FBDIMMs are identical to 1.8V FBDIMMs; the 1.5V parts just consume considerably less power.

Aspen Memory DDR3 RDIMMs

Built with our 1.35V DDR3 components, Aspen RDIMMs are a great blend of efficiency and performance. Get all the power of a leading-edge DDR3 RDIMM, with a 10% voltage reduction.


3 Ways Aspen Memory Products Enable Energy Savings

Maximized Energy Savings

Slashes the number of components needed by half, while providing the same performance and memory capacity. 

Enhanced Thermal Performance

Reduces the heat generated by servers, so less energy—and money—is spent on cooling them.

Reduced Power Consumption

Reduces standard DDR2 voltage from 1.8V to 1.5V and DDR3 voltage from 1.5V to 1.35V, which cuts power consumption significantly.
