Rackable Systems Announces New Line of Servers Featuring Quad-Core Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor 5300 Series.Creator of World's First Quad-Core Intel Xeon Processor Server Cabinet Publicly Demonstrated at Intel Developer Forum Intel Developer Forum (IDF), is a twice yearly gathering of technologists to discuss Intel products and products based around Intel products. The first IDF was in 1997. There is usually a Spring IDF and a Fall IDF. Now Announces Volume Availability of New Systems 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 Quad-Core Intel[R] Xeon[R] processor 5300 series (code named 'Clovertown'). Rackable Systems unveiled the world's first public demonstration of Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor based servers at the Intel Developer Forum on September 26th, and is now offering a full line of high efficiency rack-mount systems based on the new platform. Using the Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor E5345, the new servers feature performance gains of up to 83 percent over systems using Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 5140.1 Designed to consume the lowest possible amount of power, a Rackable Systems C1000 1U rack-mount server with two quad-core 2.33 GHz processors draws less than 290 watts at the system level. Available with Rackable Systems' award-winning 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. Rackable Systems leverages its hallmark back-to-back mounting technique to achieve density levels of up to 88 rack-mount server nodes per cabinet to achieve unprecedented density levels of 704 processing cores using the new Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor 5300 series. "Intel's new quad-core processors mark a significant leap in Intel Xeon processor performance, and we're proud to be on the forefront of bringing this new technology to market," 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 quad-core systems gives us the opportunity to further extend our leadership in providing extreme density and outstanding value per watt per square foot for the world's most demanding data centers." In addition to reduced power consumption and superior performance, servers featuring the new Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor 5300 series benefit from fully buffered dual in-line memory modules See DIMM. (storage) Dual In-line Memory Module - Small circuit boards carrying memory integrated circuits, with signal and power pins on both sides of the board, in contrast to single-in-line memory modules (SIMM). (DIMMs), which provide a new memory interface for faster data transmission, including improved signal integrity and error detection. System expansion capability is provided via PCI Express A high-speed peripheral interconnect from Intel introduced in 2002. Note that although sometimes abbreviated "PCX," PCI Express is not the same as "PCI-X" (see PCI-SIG and PCI-X for comparison). As a result of the confusion, "PCI-E" or "PCIe" is the accepted abbreviation. allowing for traditional options such as Ethernet, Disk Controller (RAID), InfiniBand and Fibre Channel as well as investment protection for future upgrades. "The Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor 5300 series offers Rackable Systems servers a significant gain in performance within the same thermal envelope as Dual-Core Intel Xeon processors, enabling Rackable Systems to continue its focus on providing ever-greater performance and density for space and power-constrained data centers," said Kirk Skaugen, vice president, Digital Enterprise Group, Intel. "The new Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor is enabling Rackable Systems to provide amazing new levels of energy-efficient performance to its customers." 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 for easy deployment. 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, 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.
