VERARI SYSTEMS REDEFINES DATA CENTER CONSOLIDATION WITH INTRODUCTION OF BLADERACK 2 XL BLADE PLATFORM
Energy and Cost-Efficient BladeRack 2 XL is the Second Platform in New X-Series and Delivers Remarkable Performance with Highest Storage and Compute Density Available
Verari Systems®, a premier developer of energy efficient data center consolidation platforms and independent blade-based computing and storage solutions, today announced the introduction of the BladeRack® 2 XL computing platform. The newest addition increases the company’s lead in high density blade-based storage, compute and workstation solutions with one of the most power efficient platforms available in one cost-effective product.
The landmark unveiling of the BladeRack 2 XL platform marks a strategic milestone in the company’s innovative market approach and promises to redefine the enterprise computing blade market. Ideal for demanding applications such as Web 2.0, data warehousing, high-capacity storage clusters, rendering and media streaming, the BladeRack 2 XL delivers the most computing and storage capacity in the smallest footprint possible.
“Today’s enterprise computing requires a more efficient and flexible platform that can execute on high-speed processing while quickly accessing stored data,” said David B. Wright, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Verari Systems. “With the BladeRack 2 XL platform, we’re meeting the demanding requirements of grid and Web 2.0 applications and simultaneously offsetting the soaring costs of traditional storage. The result is a more efficient data center with unparalleled investment protection.”
The BladeRack 2 XL platform is joining Verari’s award-winning BladeRack 2 XT platform and will be marketed under Verari’s BladeRack 2 X-Series of blade-based storage and compute server solutions. For data center managers seeking to increase capacity and performance while drastically reducing total cost of ownership, the BR2-XL utilizes a denser platform than the leading BR2-XT solution. With support for up to 72 single server nodes and 144 double server nodes per rack, the BR2-XL has the ability to incorporate up to 672 of the most capable and powerful cores in the industry in the same energy efficient chassis. The BR2-XL platform also provides 16 percent denser storage than the BR2-XT series with up to 672TB of storage per rack. Featuring a newly developed ultra-efficient 208V AC power solution and priced at approximately $1 per Gigabyte of storage, the BR2-XL is unmatched in both efficiency and value.
“There is a growing demand for a different type of storage that effectively integrates the computing power right with the disk drives,” said Roger Cox, Gartner Inc. “This type of open storage platform eliminates operational bottlenecks and provides easy access to stored data with an efficient use of physical space.”
The Verari Systems BladeRack 2 X-Series platforms build on the company’s patented Vertical Cooling Technology™. This allows Verari Systems to employ the fastest and most powerful processors available on the market without the performance loss common in blade servers from other suppliers. Increased thermal capacity has been incorporated into the design, as well as the ability to adjust airflow within the cabinet. Verari Systems’ Vertical Cooling Technology saves money by reducing energy expenditure and ensuring reliability.
