RackSaver introduces BladeRack RS-1100V featuring Intel Xeon processorSan Diego 01 May 2002 RackSaver, a provider of high-density rack-mounted computer servers and supercomputer clusters, has launched its BladeRack line of ultra-dense servers. The new BladeRack line of servers will be highly sought after in the markets that require high-performance computing power. The oil and gas industry, genomics, entertainment, research and development, education, and government entities are but a few of the groups always needing greater computing power in a more dense form factor.
RackSaver's BladeRack will house up to 66 RS-1100V RackBlades featuring up to two 2.4GHz Intel Xeon processors per blade totaling 132 Intel Xeon processors contained in a 7 foot cabinet.
The new BladeRack systems feature the most compact, space saving design available. BladeRack's 7 foot tall, 38 inch deep, 24 inch wide cabinet is the first full production BladeRack with 132 Intel Xeon processors (66 nodes), 66 GBs of DDR ECC REG PC-2100 Corsair memory, based on SuperMicro's new P4DPR-6GM+ motherboard.
Further separating BladeRack from the competition is its proprietary, patent-pending cooling subsystem which delivers performance and savings that are simply unavailable elsewhere in the market today. Unlike other vendors' offerings, customers will not, upon closer inspection, find a system that uses a proprietary backplane. Only RackSaver's BladeRack uses "truly" non-proprietary, interchangeable "off-the-shelf" components.
BladeRack incorporates Intel's groundbreaking Hyper-Threading Technology, a new on-processor innovation, allowing multi-processing applications to execute more than one thread per processor, increasing the throughput of server applications, and enabling scaling with processing requirements to handle future workloads. It also takes advantage of the new Intel E7500 chipset, which delivers maximised system bus, memory and I/O bandwidth to enhance not only performance, but scalability.
Other BladeRack advantages over the competition include its scalable, easily accessible, hot-swap capability, which applies not only to fans and networking equipment, but to the servers themselves, making upgrades and routine service a breeze. Need more power? Simply add another RackBlade. These capabilities allow RackSaver's BladeRack systems to grow with a customer's business rather than whither and fall victim to obsolescence.
