| Verari to Ship Its SB5255 DataServer with WD RE2-GP Disk Drives Verari Systems announces it will ship its recently introduced SB5255 DataServer with Western Digital's new WD RE2-GP enterprise-class SATA disk drives in Q4, 2007. When combined with the efficiencies of the Verari Systems BladeRack 2 architecture, the joint solution delivers dramatic power savings while maintaining solid performance with industry-leading density for a wide range of vertical markets where data and applications such as Web 2.0 need to be hosted on a single platform. The Verari SB5255 DataServer delivers up to 50% in energy use savings, provides up to 77% better floor space utilization than traditional server and storage systems, and is the industry's first high-density blade-based system to incorporate the innovative GreenPower drive design. The one terabyte WD RE2-GP disk drive allows the BladeRack 2 to accommodate up to twenty-two 24 terabyte SB5255 DataServers, each with two Quad-Core Intel Xeon 5300 Series processors. That equates to 176 processor cores and over a half a petabyte of energy efficient storage in just two computer room floor tiles. With rising demand for high-performance servers and storage in numerous market sectors including Internet Service Provider / Application Service Provider, entertainment and financial services, Verari Systems works closely with its partners to help develop green data center solutions that deliver more energy-efficient storage capacity and processing performance. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Computing News :: home page |
