Company Supports Power-Efficient Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ Processors in
Eco-Logical™ Data Center Servers
FREMONT, Calif. ? November 13, 2008 ? Rackable Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:
RACK), a leading provider of servers and storage products for large-scale data
centers, today announced the immediate availability of servers based on the new
Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ processors (codenamed ?Shanghai?). Rackable Systems will
offer a wide selection of server models that will use the new 45nm Quad-Core AMD
Opteron processors to help increase energy efficiency and further improve
performance on server and workstation application workloads that matter most to
customers.
?The new generation of Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors once again raises the
bar for price-performance-per-watt in an existing data center footprint,
compared to previous generations of AMD Opteron processors,? said Giovanni
Coglitore, chief technology officer at Rackable Systems. ?AMD continues to
integrate intelligent, energy-saving technologies like Enhanced AMD PowerNow!™
technology and AMD CoolCore™ technology into its processors. When coupled with
our most energy-efficient server designs to date, we can help reduce overall
power consumption during non-peak workloads and lower the total operational cost
in our customers? datacenters.?
Beyond having four cores, Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors feature Direct
Connect Architecture, which uses high bandwidth interconnect links that allow
processors to connect directly with others in the configuration, the I/O
subsystem and the main memory banks, helping reduce bottlenecks inherent in
traditional front-side bus architectures. Combined with Rackable Systems?
industry-leading energy efficient server and storage designs, the new Quad-Core
AMD Opteron processors are expected to further increase AMD?s
performance-per-watt leadership.
?AMD and Rackable Systems have a long history of delivering innovative and
energy efficient technology to directly address customer demand for added
performance within an existing infrastructure,? said Patrick Patla, vice
president and general manager, Server and Workstation division, AMD (NYSE: AMD).
?Our newest Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors, with enhanced performance-per-watt
capabilities, help enable lower power consumption for Rackable Systems?
customers while providing optimal performance in critical workloads such as web
serving and High Performance Computing.?
Ideal for applications ranging from cloud computing to High Performance
Computing, and in industries including financial services, oil and gas and
digital media, Rackable Systems? broad range of server and storage products
feature easier serviceability, maximum density and greater thermal efficiency to
reduce overall operational expenditures. Supported server and storage models
include a wide selection of 1U, 2U, 3U and 4U servers in either half-depth or
standard-full depth form factors.
