| Rackable Systems Launches Virtualized Server Line Rackable Systems has announced availability of servers based on VMware's infrastructure virtualization capabilities. As a result of the relationship, VMware Infrastructure 3 software is now available on Rackable Systems rack-mount server lines with full platform certification from VMware. Rackable Systems will also resell and distribute VMware products and provide Level 1 and Level 2 support for the software suite. Rackable Systems' innovative x86 server designs — which feature superior cooling technologies and DC Power options — enable data centers to deploy high density, high performance server configurations while significantly decreasing energy consumption and reducing overall total cost of ownership. By harnessing the virtualization capabilities of VMware ESX server — the foundation of the VMware Infrastructure 3 — Rackable Systems customers will now be able to achieve higher server utilization and even better efficiency rates while managing systems in mission-critical environments. Data centers will now be able to leverage the key advantages of Rackable Systems rack-mount servers — including its DC Power technology, hallmark back-to-back mounting and easier serviceability — while enabling higher rates of utilization on each system. Higher server utilization rates as a result of virtualization ultimately enable a data center to consolidate and streamline operations to achieve better price performance ratios; per square foot, per virtual instance, per watt. IT administrators deploying Rackable Systems' new virtualized servers will also benefit from VMware Infrastructure 3 suite services, including VMware High Availability, VMware DRS and VMware Consolidated Backup. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Networking News :: home page |
