New Systems Designed for High-Performance, High-Efficiency Cloud Computing
Deliver 96.5 Percent* Power Efficiency and Up to 21 CPU Cores Per 1U
FREMONT, Calif., June 23, 2008 Rackable Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: RACK), a
leading provider of servers and storage products for large-scale data centers,
today announced the introduction of five new extreme efficiency high-density
server solutions optimized for Internet, cloud computing and HPC environments.
The new designs deliver up to twice the density of existing Rackable Systems
servers and set a new benchmark in energy efficiency.
The industry is currently experiencing a wave of large-scale data center
build-outs. Web 2.0, cloud computing, Internet and high performance computing
are driving the growth in the server market, said Jed Scaramella, senior
research analyst at IDC. Rackable Systems, who were among the first movers in
this segment, is enhancing its market position by launching a new generation of
servers that deliver compelling value in power efficiency and density, whether
deployed in traditional 'brick-and-mortar' or leading-edge ICE Cube™ modular
data centers.
The new rack-mount designs combine multiple server boards per enclosure with
Rackable Systems high-efficiency power technology to create the companys most
Eco-Logical™ systems to date. The systems support AMD and Intel processors and
are optimized for use in both traditional data centers and in Rackable Systems
modular data center, the ICE Cube. The XE2208 system is Rackable Systems first
server to have been specifically optimized for the ICE Cube, doubling the
maximum container density to 22,400 cores.
AMD and Rackable Systems have long been a combined force in directly addressing
the pressing power concerns in the server market, said Pat Patla, general
manager and director, Server and Workstation Division, AMD. By leveraging AMD
Opteron™ processors, Rackable Systems server designs can help achieve
significant performance, power savings and energy efficiency.
In conjunction with the new rack-mount designs, Rackable Systems also announced
Scale Out Blade ST2000, a new higher density implementation of its hybrid blade
solution, designed around the Intel® 5100 San Clemente chipset. With twelve
two-way, quad-core server modules per 9U and up to 4 TB of local storage per
server, the ST2000 offers extreme density without compromising many customers
high I/O and storage capacity requirements. The ST2000 provides all the benefits
of
traditional proprietary blades, but is based on open standards.
Intel is pleased to work closely with Rackable Systems on the introduction of
their next generation high-density servers using Intels second generation
quad-core Xeon® processor, based on the hafnium-infused 45nm Hi-K technology,
said Jason Waxman, general manager of High Density Computing, Intel Server
Platforms Group. In support of Rackable Systems focus on cloud computing, we
are delivering Intel technology that is ideal for the leading performance, power
efficiency and density needed by the worlds largest datacenter customers.
The rising costs of energy and data center facilities continue to put pressure
on the industry to fit more compute and storage capacity into a data center,
said Mark J. Barrenechea, Rackable Systems president & CEO. We have been
committed to doubling our density, delivering the highest efficiency possible,
engineering solutions for cloud computing and high performance workloads, and
with our new XE Solutions, we are delivering on those commitments.
