San Diego, Calif. – March 18, 2008 --Verari Systems®, a premier developer of energy efficient data center and desktop consolidation platforms utilizing independent blade-based computing and storage solutions, today announced the introduction of the BladeRack® 2 XM computing platform. The newest addition to Verari’s BR2 X-Series is the company’s densest platform yet with support for 96 blades which represents 33% additional capacity and an industry leading 768 processing cores per platform.
The unveiling of the BR2-XM platform continues Verari’s tradition of setting the standard in enterprise computing by redefining data center power efficiency and server density. The BR2-XM platform is engineered to provide a stable compute environment while eliminating CPU thermal throttling behavior. This innovative thermal management solution enables a wide range of blade options running the fastest, hottest processors at maximum performance.
“The BR2-XM platform addresses the dense computing applications in the financial market, which require more compute capacity and energy efficiency. Each trading day is a perfect storm as the volume of data increases, the sophistication of algorithms and business processes grow. With the introduction of BR2-XM, Verari Systems will continue to be the industry leader in overall performance, performance per watt and price/performance,” said David B. Wright, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Verari Systems. “The continued innovation of our blade server platforms demonstrates our ability to deliver compelling blade-based compute and storage solutions that will provide our clients investment protection for years to come.”
The BR2-XM platform is joining Verari’s award-winning BR2-XT platform and the recently released BR2-XL platform. For data center managers seeking to increase capacity and performance, while drastically reducing total cost of ownership, the BR2-XM is a denser platform. With support for up to 96 blades per platform, the BR2-XM has the ability to incorporate up to 768 of the most capable and powerful cores in the industry in the same energy efficient chassis.
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.
