Rackable Systems Unveils World's First Cabinet of Servers Based on Quad-Core Intel(R) Xeon(R) 5300 Series Processors.New Quad-Core Solutions Showcased 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. SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco (săn frănsĭs`kō), city (1990 pop. 723,959), coextensive with San Francisco co., W Calif., on the tip of a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, which are connected by the strait known as the Golden -- Rackable Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:RACK), a leading provider of servers and storage products for large-scale data centers, today unveiled the world's first publicly-demonstrated cabinet of servers based on Quad-Core Intel[R] Xeon[R] processor 5300 Series. Showcased during Intel President and Chief Executive Officer Paul Otellini's keynote, the cabinet is populated pop·u·late tr.v. pop·u·lat·ed, pop·u·lat·ing, pop·u·lates 1. To supply with inhabitants, as by colonization; people. 2. with 40 Rackable Systems C1000 1U DC Powered servers to achieve industry-leading density levels of eight processing cores per system for a total of 320 cores in a mere 22U footprint. The new Rackable Systems Quad-Core servers showcased at the Intel Developer Forum leverage DC Power technology, the energy efficient, high performance Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor 5300 Series and Rackable Systems' hallmark back-to-back mounting to reduce overall power consumption and maximize density to achieve leading performance per watt. The systems will become available for purchase in the fourth quarter of 2006. Rackable Systems has also released a new line of servers based on the ultra efficient Low Voltage Low voltage is an electrical engineering term that broadly identifies safety considerations of an electricity supply system based on the voltage used. While different definitions exist for the exact voltage range covered by "low voltage", the most commonly used ones include "mains Dual-Core Intel[R] Xeon[R] processor 5148 Series, which became available earlier this month. Also available with Rackable Systems' industry-leading DC Power technology, the new line of servers features highly customizable 1U, 2U and 3U rack-mount configurations designed to optimize power consumption and reduce the cost of data center operations. "Rackable Systems is pleased to be working closely with Intel to optimize density and performance per watt for the data center," 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. , chief executive officer of Rackable Systems. "Our current Intel Xeon Dual-Core servers feature stunning performance, while our next generation Quad-Core solutions will take that to an even higher level for our customers." "We continue to see tremendous innovation from Rackable Systems around the Intel[R] Core[TM] Microarchitecture," said Kirk Skaugen, vice president, Digital Enterprise Group, Intel. "As a leader in energy efficient, high performance solutions for the data center, Rackable Systems servers are an ideal platform for our lower-wattage Dual-Core and upcoming Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors." Designed using industry-standard components with an open architecture approach, Rackable Systems' broad range of products support the full suite of Intel Xeon processors to provide maximum choice and leading performance per watt. Rackable Systems servers are deployed fully racked and cabled in cabinets holding up to 88 systems. 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.
