| Verari Systems' Servers to Support Latest AMD Opteron Processors Verari Systems has announced that the company's BladeRack 2 blade server platform and RM series of rack-optimized servers will now support AMD's new standard and low-power AMD Opteron processors. The latest AMD Opteron processors are designed to offer higher levels of performance-per-dollar and performance-per-watt to customers while operating within consistent thermal envelopes; 68W max thermal design power for Models 2218 HE and 8218 HE, and 95W max thermal design power for Models 2220 and 8220. AMD Opteron processors are designed to offer improved overall system performance and efficiency for energy-conscious customers looking to reduce their power and cooling bills. Verari Systems' rack-optimized servers, which are highly scalable, time tested systems used primarily as web servers or database application servers are used by demanding enterprise customers. Verari's flagship product however is BladeRack 2. This system provides reliable and scalable density, performance and capacity in an integrated solution. It is capable of supporting the fastest, most powerful volume CPUs by utilizing the company's patented Vertical Cooling Technology. Integration of the latest AMD Opteron processors will provide outstanding performance-per-watt for Verari Systems' RM series and BladeRack 2 VB series of blade servers and workstations. The new AMD Opteron processors include low-power Models 2218 HE and 8218 HE which are designed to operate at only 68W max power, thus offering maximum performance-per-watt and are ideal for energy-conscious customers looking to reduce their power and cooling bills. These AMD Opteron processors are for use in systems based on Socket F (1207), which are designed to be upgradeable to native Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors later this year. AMD's industry-leading Direct Connect Architecture helps reduce the bottlenecks inherent in traditional front-side bus architectures by directly connecting processors, memory and I/O to each central processor unit to enable improved overall system performance and efficiency. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Computing News :: home page |
