Micron’s third generation of RLDRAM memory was developed to enable a faster, more efficient transfer of data over the network by doubling performance to 76.8 Gb/s and cutting latency to below 10 nanoseconds. Both improvements help networking segment customers meet the broadband infrastructure’s rapidly evolving demands.
Service providers are starting to combine residential, business and mobile services onto a single IP network, said Ken Kutzler, Vice President of Hardware Development for Alcatel-Lucent’s IP Division. Micron’s state-of-the-art memory enables leading IP equipment suppliers like Alcatel-Lucent to help service providers meet the planet’s voracious appetite for data.
Micron and Alcatel-Lucent have collaborated on many fronts for more than a decade. The integration of RLDRAM memory—from Micron’s definition phase to early production—into these latest Alcatel-Lucent products has been a three year journey. Micron is expected to begin production of RLDRAM 3 memory during the second half of 2011.
