VB1160D blade server designed to support up to 132 servers and 528 processing cores per cabinet: Verari Systems, developer of platform-independent blade-based computing and storage solutions, has announced the industry's densest blade server system. The VB1160D server combines the latest Quad-Core Intel Xeon 3200 series processors with the fastest, most power efficient DDR2-800 memory available in a blade server. The combination of Intel’s latest X38 chipset and second generation PCI-E x16 slots in a high performance blade server is a powerful enabler for a wide range of vertical markets such as the service provider market, where density and application performance are critical. With its power efficient blade-based solutions, Verari Systems enables its customers to stay competitive and continually push the envelope to drive business results while maximizing the utilization of their technology investments. The VB1160D blade server delivers exceptional processing power by making use of a high performance quad-core processor with up to 16GB of memory and up to 2TB of hard disk storage per blade. A single Verari Systems BladeRack 2 platform can house up to 132 server nodes delivering over 100TB of storage and 528 processor cores in just two data center floor tiles. “This latest design delivers system density that is unsurpassed in traditional blade-server offerings,” said David B. Wright, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Verari Systems. “At almost double the node count of existing solutions, the VB1160D provides superior performance and capacity that establishes Verari as the industry leader in blade-based solutions for the green data center.” Verari Systems will be demonstrating its platform-independent blade-based computing and storage solutions at the SC07 conference in Reno, NV November 12-15, 2007 in booth #428.
