The company's patented Vertical Cooling Technology continues to allow customers to integrate the latest dual-core processor technology from both AMD and Intel(R). The BladeRack 2 platform is engineered to provide a stable compute environment, eliminating CPU thermal throttling behavior. This innovative thermal management solution enables a wide range of blade options running the fastest, hottest processors at maximum performance.
With the Verari Command Center management suite, BladeRack 2 is one of the most manageable out-of-the-box blade server solutions on the market today. The integrated management solution includes key features such as OS-level and hardware monitoring, remote power management and BIOS upgradeability, remote provisioning and resource organization.
"We have taken our vast experience with commercial and open management software, together with our customers' feedback, to create a new management platform that builds on our heritage of scalability," said Jennifer Skjellum, President of Verari Systems Software. "The Verari Command Center management software comes standard on BladeRack 2, giving our customers full control of their hardware and software experience, even for those with the most demanding large scale and grid environments."
