Verari Systems Pushes Performance Envelope of Blade-Based Computing with Intel(R) Xeon(R) MP Platform.Four Execution Cores Provide Seamless Upgrade Path for Multi-Generation Compatibility and Investment Protection in Rack-Optimized Servers SAN DIEGO San Diego (săn dēā`gō), city (1990 pop. 1,110,549), seat of San Diego co., S Calif., on San Diego Bay; inc. 1850. San Diego includes the unincorporated communities of La Jolla and Spring Valley. Coronado is across the bay. -- Verari Systems([R]), developers of platform-independent blade-based computing and storage solutions, today announced that its BladeRack([R]) 2 blade server A server architecture that houses multiple server modules ("blades") in a single chassis. It is widely used in datacenters to save space and improve system management. Either self-standing or rack mounted, the chassis provides the power supply, and each blade has its own CPU, memory and platform and RM (rackmount) series of servers will now support the Intel([R]) Xeon([R]) multi-processor (MP) server platform featuring Quad-Core Intel Xeon Processors and the Intel 7300 chipset. Offering breakthrough performance, energy efficiency and support for Intel Virtualization Technology See VT. , the new platform is enabling Verari Systems to redefine the system responsiveness and flexibility of blade-based computing. "The six new Quad-Core Xeon([R]) 7300 series processors are specifically designed for multi-processor servers running applications requiring uncompromised performance, reliability and scalability," said Nick Davison, North American North American named after North America.

"They can deliver more than twice the performance and more than three times the performance per watt over the company's previous generation dual-core products." Recognized in the industry for optimizing the ratio of compute output to total power consumed, the Quad-Core Intel Xeon Processor uses a similar amount of energy as single-core processors, while delivering a substantial performance increase. Integrated into Verari Systems' environmentally responsible servers with patented Vertical Cooling Technology([TM]), customers benefit from energy-efficient performance in ultra-dense deployments. "Verari Systems' BladeRack 2 is a powerful and dense blade server platform built for virtualization An umbrella term for enhancing a computer's ability to do work. Following are the ways virtualization is used. Hardware Virtualization Partitioning the computer's memory into separate and isolated "virtual machines" simulates multiple machines within one physical computer. and consolidation," said David B. Wright, 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. and Chairman of the Board of Verari Systems. "The addition of the Intel Xeon MP Platform to our family of highly scalable systems provides our customers with the type of enterprise reliability not available elsewhere and will further increase the IT efficiency and system utilization for VMware customers." Built on the Intel([R]) Core([TM]) microarchitecture, the Intel Xeon MP Platform features a dedicated high-speed interconnect, connecting each processor directly to the chipset to increase bandwidth by two times. Besides being the first Intel MP Platform to offer fully-buffered DIMM (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. DIMM - Dual In-Line Memory Module memory and I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output Acceleration Technology (IOAT IOAT Input Output Advanced Technology IOAT Input Output Acceleration Technology ), system designers also benefit from increased memory bandwidth Memory bandwidth is the rate at which data can be read from or stored into a semiconductor memory by a processor. Memory bandwidth is usually expressed in units of bytes/second, though this can vary for systems with natural data sizes that are not a multiple of the commonly used and capacity and optimized system traffic and performance. Verari product marketing specialists expect general availability of the new Intel Xeon MP Platform solution to begin shipping in Q4 2007.
