As leading memory module maker, Apacer Technology Inc. has long been devoted to the industrial computer field, particularly the embedded systems. Apacer takes the lead by introducing today a memory module featuring high speed, high capacity and low power consumption as well as full compatibility with the 22-nm Ivy Bridge microprocessor platform released lately by Intel. Compared with the mainstream 8-GB DDR3-1333 memory module, Apacer’s high-speed DDR3-1600 memory module dedicated to embedded systems requires a working voltage of only 1.35V, which can be applied into the module either to the fan-less design or to the embedded system. Thanks to its 20% higher performance and 11% less power consumption, the module can save considerable power expenditure for enterprise users.

To fulfill the design needs that demand high speed, advance memory interfacing, and the highest logic capacity, Terasic has just announced a host of new FPGA boards for tackling high-bandwidth applications such as high frequency trading, data acquisition, network and signal processing, The boards come within tree flavors:

1. The TR5-Lite, which features a conveniently small form-actor

Taipei - Despite the increase in adopting SSDs in the industrial computer sector, price remains a major concern. Apacer seeks to address this issue with a quality SSD product and has therefore introduced a large-capacity MLC wide-temp SSD with CF and SD interfaces designed for industrial computer systems and automatic applications. Favorably priced, the product employs the vendor guaranteed flash chip, which means it can run stably under industry-level extended-temperature (-40°C ~ 85°C) environments. It stays reliable even at very high or very low temperatures, which makes the SSD a great storage solution suitable for the military, aviation, automobile, oil-well drilling and other industries.

Following many month of searching for the right solution Apacer's releases it's long awaited 1 & 2GB SLC

Micro SD Card.
Apacer stresses "stability" has always been the primary concern for industrial devices.
The greatest difference between this industrial-grade MicroSD card and other memory cards on the market lies in its firmware version and major components found in this product genuine FIXED BOM.

Taking the advantage of 1.35V low voltage, Apacer DRAM DDR3 1.35V ECC RDIMM works as the best energy-saving solution for enterprise-level servers by reducing about 18% of power consumption in comparison with the standard 1.5V DDR3 memory modules. Apacer’ low-voltage ECC RDIMM memory module, designed in full compliance with JEDEC DDR3 memory standard, is a perfect fit for the server platform utilizing Intel’s lately-released Westmere-EP processor. Through the Intel Westmere-EP 3-channel server platform, this green memory module can support a transmission speed as high as DDR3 1333 MHZ. This enables the server system to decrease the heat generation and even mitigate the risk of heat crash under a 1.35V low operating voltage over the process of bulk transfer and computing. Accordingly, the power consumption for the server system is slashed, realizing effective cost control and considerably satisfying the storage requirement of enterprise consumers. Equipped with the original advanced processing chips, it has undergone harsh environment tests (high/low temperature, high/low pressure long-time burn-in test) as well as the server system and motherboard testing. Successively certified by international, leading OEM manufactures, it delivers guaranteed high product compatibility/stability in the network communication system.
