AMD and Intel, including the new 45 nm Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ processor,
previously code named Shanghai. Designed for cloud computing and other
intensive Internet environments, the C1002 builds upon Rackable Systems
existing density and power efficiency advantages.
The C1002 features a choice of two hot-swap 3.5 or four hot-swap 2.5 SAS
(Serial Attached SCSI) or SATA II (Serial ATA II) disk drives, with capacity of
up to two Terabytes per system. Six or eight energy-efficient DDR2 memory slots
allow C1002 configurations to reach up to 64GB of memory. Up to 88 C1002 servers
can be housed in a Rackable Systems 44U rack to achieve extreme density with
environmentally-friendly, low-power consumption.
Our new C1002 server broadens the range of Rackable build-to-order server
configurations to address demanding market requirements, said Giovanni
Coglitore, chief technology officer at Rackable Systems. Customers will achieve
greater storage capacities with the C1002 and attain dual server densities in 1U
of rack space to lower the total cost of ownership and increase their
organizations ability to cost-effectively scale. It is the perfect Web server.
Rackable Systems C1002 supports the broad range of dual-core and quad-core
processors available from both AMD and Intel:
C1002-F1: AMD Opteron 2200/2300 Series processors, nVIDIA nForce Pro 2200
chipset, 8 x DDR2 667 memory
C1002-SC1: Intel 5100/5200/5300/5400 series processors, Intel 5100
chipset, 6 x DDR2 667 MHz memory
With superior capacity and the flexibility of swapping 2.5 and 3.5 inch drives,
the C1002 is a highly scalable and energy-efficient server that leverages the
benefits of our new 45 nm Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors, said Patrick Patla,
vice president and general manager, Server and Workstation division, AMD (NYSE:
AMD). Rackable Systems has again demonstrated their ability to deliver a server
that sets the bar high for density and low power consumption in our customers
datacenters.
Ideal for powering Web and infrastructure applications such as Microsoft IIS,
Microsoft Exchange and Apache, the Rackable Systems C1002 supports
industry-leading operating systems such as Microsoft Server (including Web
Edition), Red Hat Linux Enterprise and Novell SUSE Linux.
Rackable Systems' award-winning x86 server designswhich help reduce power
consumption and cooling costscan enable some of the world's largest data
centers to deploy high density, high performance server configurations while
significantly reducing operational expenses and total cost of ownership.
Rackable Systems high efficiency AC and DC power supplies with up to 96.5
percent efficiency*, low-power processors and low-voltage memory all help make
the C1002 a highly Eco-Logical server design. As organizations continue to focus
on decreasing energy consumption and implementing "green" technology in the data
center, Rackable Systems' Eco-Logical server and storage products help them meet
these challenges.
