Kingston Announces TAA Compliant Server Memory Modules

Kingston Technology today announced it is releasing select system-specific memory SKUs in accordance with the Trade Agreements Act (TAA). Kingston TAA-compliant system-specific memory (designated with a -G at the end of the part number) is the perfect solution for government agencies looking to stretch infrastructure IT budgets through the use of virtualization and further population of servers. Compliance with the TAA means that a product has originated from or been substantially transformed in a Federal Trade Agreements (FTA) designated country, defined as a country that currently has a Federal Trade Agreement with the United States. Only a couple companies come to mind for being TAA-compliant (Centon Electronics and Kingston Technology) as not many memory companies have the capacity to fill niche needs.

"Kingston is honored to be the memory of choice for many top corporations and government agencies in the United States, and we saw an opportunity to enhance service to our federal government customers by releasing TAA-compliant SKUs,” said John Holland, vice president U.S. sales, Kingston. "This is the latest step in our ongoing efforts to better accommodate the various server markets that use our products.”
