Ingenuity Systems Selects Rackable Systems for its Expert Data Center
Infrastructure
FREMONT, Calif., January 7, 2009 – Rackable Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: RACK),
a leading provider of servers and storage products for large-scale data centers,
today announced its continued commitment to Ingenuity Systems, a company that
specializes in the development of semantic search, ontology and software
solutions that enable life science researchers to generate maximum value from
all types of biological and chemical knowledge. Due to the variety of solutions
Ingenuity Systems provides, they depend on Rackable Systems for its extensive
server support and unique problem solving skills.
Pharmaceutical, biotechnology and academic research institutions have complex
software needs that require sophisticated solution providers like Ingenuity
Systems. The constantly evolving and variable nature of Ingenuity’s projects
necessitate the use of Oracle’s Real Application Clusters (RAC) to support its
data warehouse applications. Richard Farley, the director of IT operations and
security at Ingenuity, faced a difficult transition to a RAC cluster hardware
platform and needed a customizable server provider to meet its unique challenge.
Farley turned to Rackable Systems for its build-to-order products and
willingness to provide expert support for a complicated integration process.
“We evaluated all the major server vendors for this latest project and we chose
Rackable Systems because of its build-to-order model and level of attention to
our individual problems,” commented Farley. “The Rackable Systems team not only
built a solution to fit our specific needs, they were also instrumental in
seeing the installation through to the end.”
Rackable Systems’ platforms are an ideal fit for Ingenuity Systems. They feature
reduced power consumption, better cooling designs and simplified serviceability.
The tremendous breadth of configuration models proved an attractive option for
Farley and his team as the increased flexibility of the data center solution fit
their diverse application requirements.
“Ingenuity Systems provided us with a unique challenge on this project,” said
Tony Carrozza, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Rackable Systems.
“The fine tuning of this solution required heavy collaboration between Ingenuity
IT and Rackable Systems engineering, and in the end we worked together to create
a flexible and powerful solution.”
