Rackable Systems has announced the availability of servers based on the new Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor 5300 series (code named ’Clovertown’). Using the Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor E5345, the new servers feature performance gains of up to 83 percent over systems using Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 5140. Designed to consume the lowest possible amount of power, a Rackable Systems C1000 1U rack-mount server with two quad-core 2.33 GHz processors draws less than 290 watts at the system level.

Available with Rackable Systems’ DC power technology, the new line of servers features customizable 1U, 2U and 3U rack-mount configurations designed to optimize power consumption and reduce the cost of data center operations. Rackable Systems leverages its hallmark back-to-back mounting technique to achieve density levels of up to 88 rack-mount server nodes per cabinet to achieve unprecedented density levels of 704 processing cores using the new Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor 5300 series.

Servers feature the new Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor 5300 series benefit from fully buffered dual in-line memory modules, which provide a new memory interface for faster data transmission, including improved signal integrity and error detection. System expansion capability is provided via PCI Express allowing for traditional options such as Ethernet, Disk Controller, InfiniBand and Fibre Channel as well as investment protection for future upgrades.

Designed using industry-standard components with an open architecture approach, Rackable Systems’ broad range of servers and storage products are delivered fully racked and cabled for easy deployment. Ideal for applications ranging from Web hosting to High Performance Computing, Rackable Systems’ unique designs feature easier serviceability, maximum density and greater thermal efficiency to reduce overall operational expenditures.
