Apacer has released a robust DDR4 Rugged SODIMM anti-vibration memory module, which is targeted at defence and industry applications that suffer from high-vibration environments. It can help industrial vertical markets such as 5G base stations, energy exploration, wind power generation, aerospace defence, railways and transportation systems painlessly upgrade rugged applications to make them more robust.

Researchers at MINES ParisTech have implemented Panasas ActiveStor high-performance computing (HPC) data storage to support the rapidly growing research efforts at the university’s Materials Research Centre. MINES ParisTech, which conducts €30 million in annual research contracts, needed to expand its HPC data storage capacity to take on an increasing load of research to drive further discoveries.

SK hynix has announced the launch of its DDR5 DRAM, a high-speed and high-density product optimised for big data, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML) as a next generation standard of DRAM.

X-FAB Silicon Foundries and with Attopsemi, have entered into a collaboration to satisfy the memory requirements of 5G technology. The companies have announced successful qualification of Attopsemi’s I-fuse OTP memory in relation to X-FAB’s XR013 open-platform foundry 130nm RF-SOI technology.

SMART Modular Technologies has announced its new BGAE440 family of eMMC (embedded MultiMediaCard) products under the brand name, DuraFlash. DuraFlash is SMART Modular’s designation for durable Flash memory solutions that are built to higher standards to deliver the durability and reliability expected in industrial embedded market segments.

To meet the increasing demand for higher-density CMOS DDR4 SDRAMs, Alliance Memory has expanded its portfolio with two new 8Gb devices.

Swissbit has extended its range of miniaturised storage solutions with the launch of its EM-30 device with an e.MMC-5.1 standard interface. The BGA package combines a modern controller with industrial grade 3D-NAND and firmware that supports the most demanding applications. Available in capacities from 16 to 256GB, EM-30 offers significant cost savings over former 2D-NAND solutions.

To meet the growing demand for serial peripheral interface (SPI) NAND flash memory products in the automotive, industrial, communications, and consumer electronics markets, Alliance Memory has released the new AS5F series of 1.8V to 3V devices with densities from 1Gb to 8Gb and high-speed clock frequencies up to 120MHz.

To aid the design of defence projects, Apacer has successfully developed an anti-vibration server memory for defence applications. It’s called XR-LRDIMM (Extreme Rugged Load-Reduced DIMM), and it features strengthened shock and vibration resistance and reliability.

Alliance Memory is now an authorised reseller for Micron Technology’s discontinued M29F 5V parallel NOR Flash devices.
