SAN FRANCISCO --(Business Wire)-- Rackable Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:RACK), a leading provider of servers and storage products for large-scale data centers, today unveiled the world's first publicly-demonstrated cabinet of servers based on Quad-Core Intel(R) Xeon(R) processor 5300 Series. Showcased during Intel President and Chief Executive Officer Paul Otellini's keynote, the cabinet is populated with 40 Rackable Systems C1000 1U DC Powered servers to achieve industry-leading density levels of eight processing cores per system for a total of 320 cores in a mere 22U footprint.
The new Rackable Systems Quad-Core servers showcased at the Intel Developer Forum leverage DC Power technology, the energy efficient, high performance Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor 5300 Series and Rackable Systems' hallmark back-to-back mounting to reduce overall power consumption and maximize density to achieve leading performance per watt. The systems will become available for purchase in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Rackable Systems has also released a new line of servers based on the ultra efficient Low Voltage Dual-Core Intel(R) Xeon(R) processor 5148 Series, which became available earlier this month. Also available with Rackable Systems' industry-leading DC Power technology, the new line of servers features highly customizable 1U, 2U and 3U rack-mount configurations designed to optimize power consumption and reduce the cost of data center operations.
"Rackable Systems is pleased to be working closely with Intel to optimize density and performance per watt for the data center," said Tom Barton, chief executive officer of Rackable Systems. "Our current Intel Xeon Dual-Core servers feature stunning performance, while our next generation Quad-Core solutions will take that to an even higher level for our customers."
