ZT Systems announced new server platforms powered by the efficient new Intel Xeon processor E3-1200 v2 product family. Based on the latest 22nm manufacturing technology, these processors power custom solutions designed with ZT’s signature engineering, integration and delivery capabilities to be “precision-fit” to the unique technical and business requirements of individual volume data center customers.

“For scale computing customers operating large server fleets, it’s important to dial in the right mix of performance, efficiency and density for each component of a larger compute solution,” said Raymond Miles, ZT Systems VP of Engineering. “Single-socket platforms powered by the Intel® Xeon® processor E3 can be a great fit for certain server and storage workloads where density and energy efficiency considerations are paramount. With the power savings associated with the move to 22nm manufacturing, and TDP as low as 17 watts, these new processors represent an attractive addition to the array of ingredients ZT can access when designing best-fit solutions.”

ZT Systems has worked closely with hyperscale cloud and supercomputing customers designing custom platforms featuring this new generation of processors, which includes the most power efficient Xeon processors ever delivered. Customers can benefit from ZT’s unique experience designing, building and deploying platforms featuring this technology into real-world data center environments. Standard 1U and 2U rackmount server platforms based on the Intel Xeon processor E3-1200 v2 product family are available today, and serve as starting points for customization to meet specific customer needs.

ZT solutions begin with close, confidential customer engagement to establish application requirements and data center constraints. Server platforms are designed using industry-standard parts, combined where necessary with custom elements and innovative engineering approaches. To ensure high levels of consistent quality, ZT’s controlled manufacturing process includes shop floor control, change management, BOM control and component level tracking for all systems.
