The Sun Blade 6000 Modular System: Open Modular Architecture With a Choice of Sun SPARC , Intel Xeon , and AMD Opteron Platforms

Overview The Participation Age is driving new demands that are focused squarely on capabilities of the datacenter. Web services and rapidly escalating Internet use are driving competitive organizations to lead with innovative new services and scalable, dynamic infrastructure. High Performance Computing (HPC) is constantly finding new application in both science and industry, fostering new demands for performance and density. Agility is paramount, and organizations must be able to respond quickly to unpredictable needs for capacity - adding compute power or growing services on demand. At the same time, most datacenters are rapidly running out of space, power, and cooling even as energy costs continue to rise.

SGI to unveil new supercomputer

The Origin 3900 effectively quadruples the maximum compute density," he said. The density of the Origin 3900 is largely accomplished through the low-energy characteristics of the company's MIPS processor, which consumes about 17 watts, about the...

The Bloor Perspective: Nextel's lessons, more outsourcing and integration tips

High acquisition costs at what is really the far margins or peripheral are unpredictable, subject to fashion and don't provide strong consistent income and growth in usage. There are many different integration solutions available in the market...

IBM to sell supercomputing server

With the density levels you're starting to get today with blades and servers like the 575, fairly specialised power and cooling is once again coming to the forefront" of data centre operations, Haff said.

Data centres struggle to keep their cool

Given the increasing use of high density hardware such as multi-core processors and blade servers, excessive power and cooling demands could lead to a rise in server failures, according to Aperture Research Institute (ARI), a division of software...

Peter Cochrane's Blog: NGNs - real or imaginary?

While traffic density improved again, the really big win was in signal fidelity and quality of service (QoS). Repeater spacing went from 2km to 40km or more, capacity projections went off the scale, power demands dropped and everything, including...

The greening of IT: Cooling costs

Another key strategy to reduce the cooling load is to scale back the server density. Many vendors are pushing high-density racks requiring 20kW and that also entails water cooling. With density at this level, it would cost more to power the server...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
