Liquid Computing and Intel to Showcase Unified Computing on Industry Standard Intel[R] Server Systems.New Liquid Elements(TM) Provides Fast Path for OEMs and Resellers to Enter the Multi-Billion Dollar Unified Computing Market STAMFORD, Conn. -- Liquid Computing, the leader in unified computing infrastructure for today's dynamic data center, today announced that it is working with Intel[R] to launch its new Liquid Elements[TM] unified computing system on Intel[R] Server Systems with Intel[R] Xeon[R] processors. Liquid Computing will work with VAR channel partners and customers to begin delivering the solution to market at the end of this quarter. The combined solution will be demonstrated at the upcoming SC09 conference, November 14 - 20 in Portland, Oregon. Until now, Liquid Computing has driven the unified computing market with its LiquidIQ[TM] product, a fully integrated hardware and software-based system that is proven to dramatically reduce the cost of managing IT infrastructure through software control of servers, networking and storage from a common interface. With the introduction of Liquid Elements, Liquid Computing becomes the first to deliver the power of unified computing across standards-based data center infrastructure from leading brands. Initially, Liquid Elements will support Intel[R] Server System SR1680MV rack servers and NetApp[R] storage devices. The result is a complete "data center in a box" that combines the cost-savings and management flexibility of unified computing from Liquid Computing with the breakthrough processing speed See MHz. , memory and density of servers from Intel. The system is also designed to cost effectively scale from the smallest through the largest of implementations. "We believe Liquid Computing's solution will help accelerate the adoption of unified computing that applies an open, standards-based approach," said David Brown David Brown may refer to any of the following people:
"With Liquid Computing's open approach to unified computing, enterprises can leverage their existing data center vendor relationships and investments," said Zeus Kerravala, senior vice president, Yankee Group (the Yankee Group, Boston, MA, www.yankeegroup.com) A major market research, analysis and consulting firm founded in 1970 by Howard Anderson. It provides general consulting and strategic planning in the computer and communications field. . "Since it's based on common data center building blocks from industry leaders like Intel and NetApp, and supports both bare metal 1. bare metal - New computer hardware, unadorned with such snares and delusions as an operating system, an HLL, or even assembler. Commonly used in the phrase "programming on the bare metal", which refers to the arduous work of bit bashing needed to create these basic tools and virtualized environments, Liquid Elements customers gain the benefits of unified computing without incurring cost, risk and delays typically associated with migration to a new platform." "Liquid Elements will add strength to our data center solutions practice," said Joe Vaught, executive vice president and COO of PCPC PCPC Philadelphia City Planning Commission PCPC Park Cities Presbyterian Church (Dallas, TX) PCPC Partit Comunista del Poble de Catalunya PCPC Personal Computers Peripheral Corporation Direct Ltd., a Houston-based solutions provider. "We're excited by Liquid Computing's vision, as customers are looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment. Antithesis of in touch with. innovative and open solutions that can significantly reduce their operating costs operating costs npl → gastos mpl operacionales . We are also impressed with the relationships Liquid Computing has developed with leaders like Intel and Microsoft to incorporate their products and platforms into complete integrated systems. We look forward to a strong and prosperous partnership." "As recognized leaders in server and storage technologies, Intel and NetApp both share our belief that open standards Specifications for hardware and software that are developed by a standards organization or a consortium involved in supporting a standard. Available to the public for developing compliant products, open standards imply "open systems;" that an existing component in a system can be replaced drive competition, eliminate vendor lock-in In economics, vendor lock-in, also known as proprietary lock-in, customer lock-in, lock-in is where a customer is dependent on a vendor for products and services and cannot move to another vendor without substantial switching costs, real and/or perceived. , and empower customers to choose," said Vikram Desai Vikram Desai was a fictional character on the British soap opera Coronation Street, he was played by Chris Bisson. Vikram is Dev's cousin and he used to own the shop with Dev and worked with Sunita. During his time in Coronation Street he dated Leanne Battersby and Maria Sutherland. , president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

"Liquid Elements embraces this approach, and thereby takes the benefits of unified computing and comprehensive data center automation mainstream." Liquid Computing will also join Intel's Enabled Server Acceleration Alliance (Intel ESAA ESAA Environmental Services Association of Alberta (Canada) ESAA Enterprise Server Acceleration Alliance (Intel) ESAA English Schools' Athletic Association (UK) ). Intel ESAA provides resellers and direct OEMs access to a wide range of pre-validated configuration guides ("recipes") jointly developed by Intel and vendors, as well as marketing and technical resources. It also helps members build relationships, reduce engineering costs, and compete with products based on the proven reliability of Intel server and workstation products. Liquid Elements Features Liquid Elements for Intel[R] Server Systems combines the benefits of Liquid Computing's management and control with the power and density of the Intel[R] Server System (SR1680MV) to provide: * Unified fabric control that enables all application infrastructure including servers, networking and storage to be managed remotely through a common interface. * Breakthrough performance, memory and efficiency with up to four Intel[R] Xeon [R] 5500 Series Processors and up to 288GB DDR (Double Data Rate) Refers to an SDRAM memory chip that increases performance by doubling the effective data rate of the frontside bus. For more details, see SDRAM. DDR - Double Data Rate Random Access Memory 3 memory (36 DIMMs) in a 1U chassis. * "Virtual backplane" connectivity to servers via high speed cables and Liquid Computing's innovative Switched Network Adapters, providing secure remote management, configuration and networking control. * Security and reliability delivered via an out-of-path control network that supports automated failover. * Lower costs through a 10:1 reduction in provisioning time, a 2:1 reduction in space requirement with ultra-dense Intel[R] Xeon[R] processors, and 10:1 reduction in cabling complexity with a single high-speed cable per server. * Integration with NetApp SnapMirror(TM) for highly efficient data replication to support disaster recovery. Liquid Elements for Intel[R] Server Systems Components * Liquid Elements Fabric Control Software: For complete remote management of servers, networking and storage components through a common interface. * Liquid Elements Fabric Module: A dual purpose module with built-in redundancy that provides management and control, and 10Gb Ethernet fabric switching in a 4U chassis. * Intel[R] Server System SR1680MV: Provides two independent dual socket/18DIMM (Dual In-Line Memory Module) A printed circuit board that holds memory chips and plugs into a DIMM socket on the motherboard. See memory module.
