DDR5 server memory, in the exact part numbers your servers accept.
A 64 GB module is not just a 64 GB module. Generation, rank, speed, module type and the server's qualified list all decide whether it runs at full speed or at all. We source registered ECC server memory by manufacturer part number, from the DRAM makers and authorised module houses.

Overview
Why server memory is now a procurement problem
Memory makers have moved wafer capacity towards HBM for AI accelerators. Conventional server DRAM is what's left, and contract prices for it rose sharply through 2025 and 2026. High-density DDR5 modules are now allocated, not simply ordered.
Demand is concentrated in a few shapes. New servers mostly take 64 GB, 96 GB and 128 GB DDR5 RDIMMs. GPU host servers, which often need 1.5–2 TB of system memory to feed eight GPUs, push buyers towards 128 GB and 256 GB 3DS modules. Installed fleets still buy 32 GB and 64 GB DDR4 for expansion and spares.
The commonest mistake is treating memory as interchangeable. Mixing ranks, speeds or lots can downclock a whole channel or stop a server booting. We quote by manufacturer part number, check the module against the server's qualified list, and flag any proposed alternative separately for your approval.
Newer platforms add options. MRDIMM (multiplexed-rank DIMMs) runs at 8800 MT/s on Intel Xeon 6 and increases bandwidth per channel. CXL memory expanders add capacity beyond the DIMM slots for memory-bound workloads. Both need platform support, so we confirm compatibility before quoting.

How we work
We source from India's established brands — we do not manufacture
Akarta Exports is a sourcing and export house. We do not own factories and we do not claim to. Our value is that we know which well-known Indian brands and manufacturers make what, to what standard, and at what price — and we buy from them to the exact specification you give us.
01 — Your specification, written down
We start from your specification, not from a catalogue. Grade, dimension, tolerance, finish, test standard, pack, artwork and labelling are put in writing and confirmed with you before a single enquiry goes out.
02 — Matched to the right Indian brand
We place that specification with established, well-known Indian brands and manufacturers in the cluster that genuinely makes the product — Morbi for tiles, Rajkot and Ludhiana for machinery, Meerut and Jalandhar for sports goods, Kerala and Gujarat for spices.
03 — Offers compared on merit
Because we own no plant and owe no factory a minimum offtake, we compare offers openly on quality, consistency, capacity and price — and tell you where a lower price will not hold up in your market.
04 — Inspected, consolidated, shipped
Our own inspectors clear the goods at the brand's plant and again before loading. Multiple brands and multiple divisions consolidate into one container, one invoice and one document set.
Brand names are disclosed to you on the offer and named on the inspection report, so you always know whose production you are buying. Where a buyer already has a preferred Indian brand, we are happy to source that brand and handle only the inspection, consolidation, documentation and shipping.

Quality assurance
Nothing leaves India until our own inspectors clear it
Akarta runs an in-house quality department with inspectors assigned to each division. Goods are checked at the factory during production and again before loading, against the written specification agreed on your purchase order — not against the factory's own grading.
- Manufacturer part number matched to your server's qualified memory list
- Single lot and matched ranks per order where the platform needs it
- Factory-sealed trays or boxes checked on arrival at consolidation
- Any alternative part number listed separately for your approval

Buyer questions
What importers usually ask us first
Can you match the memory already in my servers?
Yes. Send the server model and the part number on an existing module, or a hardware inventory export, and we'll quote the exact match or a qualified equivalent.
Why do memory quotes expire so quickly?
Server DRAM prices are moving week to week. We date every quote and confirm the price when you place the order.
Do you supply HBM?
HBM is sold to GPU and accelerator makers, not to end users. You get it as part of the GPU itself.
