Kingston Technology Highlights Importance of Memory in Performance of Microsoft Virtualization Technologies

September 8, 2008 by Robin Wauters Leave a Comment

Kingston Technology Company emphasized the importance of memory in delivering the features and benefits offered by Microsoft virtualization technologies to improve computing environments ranging from the data center to desktop and beyond, during today’s Microsoft “Get Virtual Now” launch event in Bellevue, Wash.

“When deploying virtualization technologies, optimizing system memory is essential. Kingston offers multiple system options with our new 16GB server memory kits and 4GB notebook modules,” said Liesl Schwoebel, branded product memory marketing manager, Kingston. “With adequate memory installed, IT and business professionals can best reap the benefits offered by Microsoft’s portfolio of virtualization solutions, including improvements in computing efficiency, flexibility, continuity and agility.”
“As we fuel the next stages of IT innovation to make virtualization available to as many different types of users as possible, memory is fundamental in all of these scenarios,” said Zane Adam, senior director of integrated virtualization at Microsoft Corp. “Whether it’s virtualization to consolidate servers or to maximize desktop and notebook efficiency, in working with Kingston, Microsoft is confident that customers can take full advantage of the benefits of our full suite of virtualization offerings.”

Kingston memory modules are backed by a lifetime warranty and free 24/7 technical support. Kingston server memory is covered by the exclusive KingstonCare program, an additional layer of customer service that provides on-site spares, service reimbursement, cross-ship RMAs and all the tools necessary to minimize server downtime.

Will Increasing Memory Costs Slow Down Virtualization Growth?

March 11, 2008 by Robin Wauters 1 Comment

Memory vendor Kingston Technology (check out the short interview we did at their VMWorld Europe 2008 booth) says memory in industry standard servers is causing virtualization projects to become unnecessarily expensive and that fears over warranties are holding back users from upgrading.

“Not having enough memory restricts the number of virtual machines, and also restricts the overall performance. Not having enough memory is either down to improper planning, or in most cases, the inability to purchase enough memory due to the higher cost of OEM memory,” the company said.

Hewlett-Packard does not seem to share their vision:

Rhys Austin, who runs the virtualization practice for industry standard servers at HP agreed that too little memory will affect virtualiszation performance but strongly rejected Kingston’s assertion that users were worried about price or warranties.
