Head in the clouds With the rise of virtualization and the growth of cloud computing, memory density and server performance have become key issues for data centers. Bottlenecks develop as memory module capacity can't keep pace with demand from servers using more multi-core CPUs and become increasingly virtualized. That's where Inphi comes in. Its load-reduced, dual-inline memory modules -- LRDIMMs -- offer four times the memory capacity and near double the bandwidth, giving both capacity and speed a boost during using the same amount of space on the motherboard.
