The exponential growth of data driven by AI, AR and the fast-approaching metaverse is bringing disruptive changes to memory designs, requiring more sophisticated software technologies that better link with the latest hardware advancements.
"Samsung and Red Hat will make a concerted effort to define and standardize memory software solutions that embrace evolving server and memory hardware, while building a more robust memory ecosystem," said Yongcheol Bae, Executive Vice President and Head of the Memory Application Engineering Team at Samsung Electronics. "We will invite partners from across the IT industry to join us in expanding the software-hardware memory ecosystem to create greater customer value."
"In the upcoming data-centric era, the integration of memory-centric hardware and software architectures will become increasingly essential, and for this purpose, Red Hat is happy to participate in the joint undertaking with Samsung," added Marjet Andriesse, Senior Vice President and Head of Red Hat Asia Pacific.
The new partnership marks the first time that Samsung has joined forces with an open source software company to foster engagements across the IT marketplace. As an extension to this strategic collaboration, Samsung will launch the Samsung Memory Research Cloud (SMRC), where the two companies will develop and verify software solutions on diverse server environments.
Serving as an open collaboration hub, the SMRC will enable customers and partners to evaluate new software products in configuring optimal combinations with memory hardware.
The companies will also participate in open source communities such as the Linux Foundation, to ensure that their software technology has full support in Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and with other open source software stacks.
Samsung plans to open its SMRC platform in the second half of this year and expects it to act as an ongoing catalyst for innovation in future IT systems.

Kioxia and Google Collaborate to Boost Clean Energy Use in Japan3.12.2025 04:30:00 EET | Press release
As part of its commitment towards a more sustainable future, Kioxia Corporation (“Kioxia”) today announced a collaborative initiative with Google LLC (“Google”) to boost its use of the clean electricity generated by a hydropower retrofit project in Japan's Chubu region. This project, owned by the Chubu Electric Power group, is expected to increase annual clean energy generation, contributing to the decarbonization of the grid and supporting both companies' net-zero efforts. Kioxia, a leader in memory solutions, has begun offtake of its portion of the hydropower project's electricity, which is expected to reach 160 gigawatt-hour (GWh) per year (enough to power about 40,000 Japanese homes). This move directly supports Kioxia's goals of sourcing 100% renewable energy for use in its own business activity by fiscal year (“FY”) 2040 and achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by FY2050. Kioxia’s hydropower offtake, which provides “round-the-clock” clean power, also helps reduce Google's
