Rackable Systems to Leverage Solid-State Technology in Eco-Logical™ Servers
and OmniStor Arrays
Storage Networking World, DALLAS ? October 15, 2008 ? Rackable Systems,
Inc. (NASDAQ: RACK), a leading provider of servers and storage products for
large-scale data centers, today announced that it will support Intel?s industry
leading solid-state drives (SSDs) in the company?s Eco-Logical™ server and
storage systems. Rackable Systems SSD-based products continue the company?s
track record of rapidly delivering high-performance, energy-efficient solutions.
The new products are being unveiled this week at Storage Networking World 2008
at Intel?s Booth #300.
?The enhanced capabilities of Intel?s solid-state drives allow us to augment the
storage performance of our products in dramatic ways,? said Giovanni Coglitore,
CTO and SVP of Engineering at Rackable Systems. ?By combining our award-winning
products with Intel?s high performance solid-state drives, we can deliver an
advanced product offering that provides measurably improved value to our
customers.?
Rackable Systems will utilize Intel?s SSD technology to provide its customers
with server and storage systems that offer enhanced performance and increased
energy efficiency, in line with the company?s core technology focus. Intel?s
SSDs offer much greater reliability than traditional hard disk drives (HDD) and
in many cases can eliminate the need for RAID, delivering additional savings. In
addition, SSD drives produce less heat than traditional HDDs at even much higher
performance levels.
Rackable Systems will leverage Intel?s 32GB and 64GB single-level cell (SLC)
drives in servers that are designed for the enterprise, and will use 80GB and
160GB multi-level cell (MLC) drives for those that are intended for
low-write-rate environments. The SSD-based server and storage systems will be
available for traditional data center configurations and with the company?s
award-winning ICE Cube™ modular data center.
?The low-power and high performance-per-watt of our solid-state drive technology
allows companies like Rackable Systems to deliver innovative new
energy-efficient products like the Eco-Logical servers that will lower
customers? total cost of ownership,? said Randy Wilhelm, general manager, Intel
NAND Products Group. ?We believe the new SSD drives provide an opportunity for
vendors like Rackable Systems to deliver thermally-efficient hardware to
customers while also providing a reliable, high-performance server solution.?
Availability
The new systems will be available immediately worldwide via its direct sales and
channel partners. For information about specific configurations and pricing,
