Rackable Systems Announces New Line of Servers Featuring Dual-Core Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor 5100 Series; Highly Efficient Rack-Mount Servers Now Feature Low Wattage Dual-Core Xeon Processors for Excellent Value Per Watt Per Square Foot.MILPITAS, Calif. -- Rackable Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:RACK), a leading provider of servers and storage products for large-scale data centers, today announced availability of servers based on the new Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 5100 series (code named 'Woodcrest'). Known for its award-winning, highly efficient servers, the new designs enable Rackable Systems to expand its leadership in being able to offer products designed to reduce data center operational expenses. A Rackable Systems C1000 1U rack-mount server with two dual-core Xeon 5100 series processors draws a peak of a mere 185 watts at the system level while achieving high levels of compute performance.(1) Available with Rackable Systems' industry-leading DC power technology, the new line of servers features customizable 1U, 2U and 3U rack-mount configurations designed to optimize power consumption and reduce the cost of data center operations. "The new Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 5100 series marks a significant milestone in Xeon technology, and enables us to offer our customers more choice than ever before," said Tom Barton Tom Barton is a former member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly. He was first elected in 1992 as the member for Waterford and retired at the 2006 Queensland Election. He was Minister for Environment and Heritage under the Wayne Goss government from 1995 to 1996. , CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Rackable Systems. "Rackable Systems' new line of servers demonstrates our continued leadership in being able to offer outstanding value per watt per square foot for the world's most complex data center deployments." In addition to reduced power consumption and better performance, servers featuring the new Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 5100 series benefit from fully buffered DIMMs Fully Buffered DIMM (or FB-DIMM) is a memory technology which can be used to increase reliability, speed and density of memory systems. Conventionally, data lines from the memory controller have to be connected to data lines in every DRAM module. , which provide a new memory interface for faster data transmission, including improved signal integrity and error detection. System expansion capability is now provided via PCI-Express allowing for traditional options such as Ethernet, Disk Controller (RAID), Infiniband and Fibre Channel as well as investment protection for future upgrades. "The combination of Rackable Systems' highly dense, reliable servers and the new Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 5100 series provides an innovative solution for large-scale data centers around the world. This solution allows customers to take performance-per-watt to unprecedented new levels," said Kirk Skaugen, vice president, Digital Enterprise Group, Intel. Designed using industry-standard components with an open architecture approach, Rackable Systems' broad range of servers and storage products are delivered fully racked and cabled in cabinet sizes holding up to 88 systems with up to 352 processing cores. Ideal for applications ranging from Web hosting Making a Web site available on the Internet. Many ISPs host a few personal Web pages for an individual at no additional cost above the monthly service fee, but the address is subordinate to the ISP; for example, www.friendlyisp.com/pat_smith. to High Performance Computing, Rackable Systems' unique designs feature easier serviceability (system) serviceability - The ease with which corrective maintenance or preventative maintenance can be performed on a system (e.g. by a hardware service technician). Higher serviceability improves availability and reduces service cost. Serviceability is one component of RAS. , maximum density and greater thermal efficiency In thermodynamics, the thermal efficiency (  ) is a dimensionless performance measure of a thermal device such as an internal combustion engine, a boiler, or a furnace, for example. to reduce overall
operational expenditures.
