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.
