Is finding reliable DRAM memory for your HP ProLiant Server series in your data center a major challenge?\n\nWhen you choose HP SmartMemory you get the same high quality, reliability, and confidence that come with your HP ProLiant Gen9 Server series. DRAM quality and reliability are more important now than ever. Industry trends such as server virtualization, cloud computing, the use of large database applications, and high-performance computing have all increased the need for higher capacity memory with greater reliability and uptime. \n\nHP SmartMemory is a unique technology introduced in HP ProLiant Gen8 Servers that unlocks certain features available only with HP Qualified Server memory in Gen9 servers also. HP SmartMemory enables ProLiant Gen9 systems to reliably identify and verify whether installed memory has passed the rigorous HP qualification and testing processes. And because the memory is authenticated, you can enable extended memory performance features through the system ROM. Delivers Better Performance than Competition \n HP DDR4 SmartMemory for Gen9 Servers provide 14% better performance in rack and tower servers. 1 \n Lower Power Consumption \n DDR4 SmartMemory has 37% lower power than DDR3 at the same speed. 2 \n Reducing Downtime and Providing Better Environmental Experience in Your Data Center \n HP DDR4 SmartMemory offers a 1% reduction in memory-related outages. \n 1 All the rack and tower server will work @2133 MHz at 2DPC whereas all the other competition will go down to 1866 MHz at 2DPC which means ((2133-1866)/1866)*100 equals 14% better performance. \n 2 Compare DDR4 to DDR3. DDR3 goes in the denominator. \n(5.69-3.58)/5.69 = 37% \n
