Rackable Equips Third-Largest Online Social Networking Site with Innovative
and Eco-Logical High Density Servers
FREMONT, Calif., March 3, 2009 — Rackable Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: RACK), a
leading provider of Eco-Logical servers and storage products for medium- to
large-scale data centers, today announced that myYearbook.com, the third largest
social network in the U.S, has adopted Rackable Systems' data center server
solutions to support its fast-growing web infrastructure.
Founded by two New Jersey high school students, myYearbook boasts year-over-year
growth of more than 250 percent, making the acquisition of scalable and
economical data center solutions a top priority. myYearbook chose Rackable's 44U
cabinets populated with Rackable C1002 half-depth servers to support its web
applications, which serve a user base of over 10 million.
"Rackable's proven ability to ship a completely integrated data center solution,
pre-racked and pre-wired, gave us an immediate competitive advantage; we saved
more than 150 man-hours right there," said Jeremy Stinson, vice president of
Network Operations at myYearbook. "Yet the overriding reason we chose Rackable
servers to run almost 100 percent of our web tier is their extreme high density
and low power consumption."
Rackable's Day One Advantage paradigm and patented half-depth server
configurations allowed myYearbook to quickly and easily double the number of
build-to-order servers it uses while simultaneously cutting overall power
consumption by half. According to Stinson, myYearbook also credits Rackable's
unrivalled thermal management efficiencies with reducing server temperatures by
more than 20 percent, even given that the company can now employ twice the
number of servers in the same physical space.
"myYearbook understands that cost savings from denser, lower power solutions can
significantly bolster their bottom line as they scale for the future," said Tony
Carrozza, senior vice president of Worldwide Sales and Marketing at Rackable
Systems. "Web leaders like myYearbook rely on Rackable's innovative data center
designs for their superior scalability, energy-efficiency and best-in-class
density."
