Optimize your servers with Samsung 20nm class Green DDRWith declining budgets, IT managers are looking for new

ways to improve service levels and increase energy

efficiency. Such efforts are more challenging amid today’s

data growth explosion and increasing costs. In addition, with

more regulation and a need to contribute to our planet’s

future, IT departments must also decrease power

consumption and waste.

According to International Data Corporation (IDC), the

number of servers worldwide will grow by a factor of 10 over

the next 10 years. To fuel the engines of business growth

while responsibly governing resources and lowering total

cost of ownership (TCO), IT must provide more business

capacity in less space, while using less energy.

An important part of the solution comes in the form of 20nm

class Green DDR3, which operates at low power, offers high

quality and reliability, and improved TCO for data centers. It

is ideal for meeting the efficiency challenges of today’s data-

intensive businesses.

Samsung 20nm class Green DDR3 provides IT with: • Decreasingpowerconsumption

Samsung 20nm class Green DDR3 can enable your

datacenter to perform much more efficiently. By leveraging

the full potential of Samsung Green DDR3, you can increase

server performance, while consuming less energy.

Decrease power consumptionSamsung developed its Green Memory technology to tackle

the increased energy efficiency problems head-on. Switching

to Samsung’s new 20nm class Green DDR3, 4Gb 1.35V chip

provides a 67% power savings over its 50nm class, 2Gb 1.5V

DDR3 equivalent. This equates to a 15 percent power savings

at the system level. Higher density servers can gain even

greater power savings from Green Memory. Simply put, it

provides the best performance-to-power efficiency ratio on

the market. Reduced power consumption helps lower

electricity costs as well as maintenance expenses that would

otherwise have risen from increased rack utilization.

Servers using Samsung 20nm class 4Gb 1.35V DDR3 memory can save 15% of the system power consumed by 50nm class 2Gb 1.5V DDR3

Rely on quality and reliability As the world’s #1 DRAM supplier, Samsung is able to take

advantage of industry-leading engineering resources,

technologies, and manufacturing processes as well as some

of the most stringent quality and testing standards.

Samsung’s assets and its approach to product excellence

underscope the attractiveness of Green memory. Without a

doubt, Samsung 20nm class Green DDR3 is a shining

example of the best in quality and reliability.

Benefit from lower TCO Samsung 20nm class 4Gb 1.35 V DDR3 can allow data

centers to place up to 31 servers per rack compared to the

Samsung 50nm class 2Gb 1.5 V DDR3, which only allows 26

servers per rack.

This advantage becomes even more significant when

factoring in total operating cost. For example, in a

10,000-server data center, only 323 racks would be needed

instead of 385. That can allow IT managers to save up to

$0.57M in operating costs annually.

Contribute to a healthier planetData centers are a leading contributor to carbon and carbon

dioxide emissions. Accounting for roughly 0.5% of the

world’s power consumption according to one report, they

rank as the fourth largest contributor to carbon emissions

ranking just behind the airline industry. For many, the

environmental benefits of Samsung 20nm class Green DDR3

efficiency go beyond improvements in power consumption.

If the entire installed server base worldwide were to use

Samsung 20nm class Green DDR3, 25 TWh of electricity

could be saved per year as carbon dioxide emissions would

drop annually by up to 17.4 million tons. That is equivalent to

adding 447 million 10-year-old trees to the earth’s

ecosystem. Samsung Green DDR3 technology is the ultimate

low-power component solution for data centers.

ConclusionsRising costs and stricter environmental regulations are

forcing IT professionals to seek server components that cost

less and use less energy. Memory plays a critical role in

maximizing server efficiency. So, it’s extremely important to

determine the best possible type of memory. Samsung

Green memory, increasing resources and performances

while lowering energy costs and contributing to a healthier

environment, is the ideal server solution for data centers.
