| Verari Systems Announces Storage Blades with Intel SSDs Verari Systems announces the addition of Intel's X-25M SATA solid state drives (SSDs) into its BladeRack 2 X-Series platforms. Solid state drives utilize flash memory to store and retrieve data, yielding response times that are an order of magnitude faster than the fastest hard disk drives and require dramatically less power and cooling to operate. Intel's X-25M SSDs, which have been tested by Verari Systems for the past year, achieve ultra-high read/write and bandwidth performance along with high reliability and data integrity for the intense workloads of high-end enterprise computing and storage applications. Combining Intel's SSDs with its high density, 12TB SB1056 SATA II Disk Blades, Verari is further improving storage density while enhancing energy efficiency. The Verari BladeRack 2 X-Series platforms, with support for compute, graphics, server and workstation virtualization and storage offers the broadest range of options to enable the consolidation of all application tiers within a single system framework with the best performance, densest footprint and energy efficiency available in the industry today. Verari's blade-based storage solutions with Intel's SSDs are suited to support applications that need to process massive amounts of information very quickly including IPTV video streaming, electronic trading systems, real-time data feed processing, cloud computing and storage metadata processing, and many others. The Intel X-25M SSDs are immediately available in select BladeRack 2 X-Series blade and rackmount solutions. General availability in Verari's storage products is expected in Q4 2008. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Networking News :: home page |
