* For directional guidance only. This is not a server selection guide. Actual server sizing is a relatively complex effort involving workload characterization including such considerations as type of application, size of workload, number of users, type of transaction, SLA response times, targeted utilization, level and estimation accuracy of workload baseline/peak/growth, physical or managerial constraints, need to maintain a single state at all times to ensure all users see the same results at any given time, cost to migrate to a scale-out alternative, and system availability requirements.

• LR-DIMM = Load Reduced DIMM
• An LR-DIMM has additional components on the DIMM which:a) Buffer the data bus pins
– To reduce electrical loading on the data bus
b) Rank multiplication logic to make to logically reduce the number of ranks visible to the memory controller

– Depending on the DIMM, rank multiplication can be disabled, set to 2:1 or set to 4:1 (4:1 makes a Quad ranked DIMM logically look like a single rank DIMM)
