BOISE, Idaho, and GLASGOW, United Kingdom, Oct. 30, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Crucial, a leading global brand of memory and storage upgrades, and Intel, a world leader in computing innovation, today announced the inclusion of Crucial® server memory modules in the Intel Demo Depot Program. This service lends fully configured Intel Xeon®-based servers to customers for evaluation and testing prior to final purchase.

Servers are also used by various technology manufacturers for demonstrations at tech-focused tradeshows and customer demos by Intel field account engineers.

"Launching a new server architecture requires close cooperation from the entire industry," said David L. Brown, Director of Marketing for Intel Enterprise Platforms and Services Division (EPSD). "We are pleased to be partnering with Crucial to include their memory products in the Intel® Server Systems based on the Intel® Xeon® Processor E5 Family we lend for validation and demos.
