Today Crucial announced the availability of two new offerings in its server memory product portfolio, 32GB DDR4 VLP RDIMMs and 64GB DDR4 LRDIMMs. To get the higher density out of the new memory modules, Crucial engineered a dual stack of 8Gb DDR4 DRAM die to engineer a single 16Gb component. The new modules have quoted speeds of 2400MT/s. The new DDR4 server memory modules will have increased performance, density, and bandwidth making them an ideal choice for data analytics and modeling and hyperscale environments.

Both the 32GB DDR4 16Gb-based VLP RDIMMs and 64GB DDR4 16Gb-based LRDIMMs are optimized for the latest Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 v4 product family. Both modules are also the highest density sever memory module Crucial offers for their form factor.
The 32GB RDIMMs are 40% shorter than RDIMMs making them an ideal fit for memory dense systems like blade servers and microservers. Height is an issue in these compact systems. The RDIMMS can be installed at a 90-degree angle to the motherboard, which enables better airflow and in turn cooling. The 64GB LRDIMM module utilizes a memory buffer chip to present a single logical rank to the server, allowing more DIMMs to be populated per channel without reducing memory bandwidth.
Availability
Both the new 32GB DDR4 16Gb-based VLP RDIMMs and 64GB DDR4 16Gb-based LRDIMMs are available today.
