Verari Systems To Roll Out Intel Xeon-Based Blade Servers

Verari Systems, a developer of powerful, platform-independent blade computing systems, announced that it will offer BladeRack blade server systems based on the Intel Xeon processor running at 3.60 GHz with 800 MHz system bus and Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology (EM64T). Verari Systems' flexible and scalable platform-independent architecture ensures seamless incorporation of the latest in next generation high-performance technology.

"We are pleased to have Verari Systems delivering blade servers based on the very latest Intel Xeon processors with Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology," said Richard Dracott, Intel Enterprise Platforms general manager. "These newest configurations take full advantage of the most recent platform innovations for optimum performance, including 800MHz system bus, PCI Express and DDR2 memory, which will enable BladeRack to continue driving ever increasing compute densities."

"Verari Systems' standards-based architecture and patented thermal management technologies allow us to package our BladeRack blade servers with the highest performance Intel Xeon processors available today in the densest form factor possible," said David Driggers, CEO of Verari Systems. "Our customers will now run 64-bit applications on Intel-based systems with dramatically higher performance."

Verari Systems' BladeRack blade server consists of 66 dual processor compute nodes and the company's patented Vertical Cooling System, which enables the world's fastest microprocessors to perform in the highest density, highest performance blade environment available on the market today. Combined with the Verari Command Center software, which extends systems management with the capability to provision systems software, applications and updates across blade servers, the BladeRack is a powerful high performance computing system for Grid and utility computing.
