High-density Energy Efficient Computing

The PetaBlade II™ goes beyond addressing server issues to tackle computing infrastructure challenges. It uses cutting-edge capabilities to integrate computing, storage, power, and network resources into a virtualized, highly available and high-performance environment. The PetaBlade II has a density spec of .5U per server which translates to 640-cores or 80-nodes in 40U or rack space. The result is dramatically reduced total cost of ownership (TCO) for a diverse set of applications, server farms, high-performance cluster computing, web hosting, database clustering, and virtualization.
