South Korean tech firm Samsung Electronics Co. said Thursday it has developed an
upgraded server solution in cooperation with Microsoft Corp. to provide
customers with a system of a high level of performance and efficiency.
The so-called "Green Server Solution" utilizes Samsung's 20 nanometer-class
Double Data Rate 3 (DDR3) memory chip and solid state drives (SSDs) together
with Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 and Hyper-V, which boosted the memory
configurations twice as fast, while consuming 50 percent less power, the company
said in a statement.
"By utilizing the green server solution which
combines the two companies' leading-edge developments, our customers can enjoy a
high level of performance and efficiency in their server systems," said Hong
Wan-hoon, executive vice president of memory sales and marketing at
Samsung.
"Samsung will step up the collaboration with Microsoft and
keep on developing green computing solutions for more effective levels of the IT
investment," he added.
Samsung's previous systems used 40
nanometer-class DDR3 and a hard drive disk.
The development came five
months after the South Korean tech giant collaborated with the Microsoft
Technology Center to develop an optimized server solution that used 30
nanometer-class green DDR3 memory modules.
