An affordable high-density server platform, the Atom-powered Green Power 2200-T can't match a conventional blade server on processing terms, but beats it hands-down on power and cooling. If that's important to you, and you don't need massively scalable servers, it could be just the ticket.
Can a consortium of datacenter and cloud buyers change the way that vendors sell their products?
Let's start with the energy efficiency features of Fujitsu's new Primergy BX400, a blade enclosure system designed for the needs of midsize businesses that the company plans to ship in December.According to the spec sheets, the technology -- which can accommodate up to eight server or storage blades in the enclosure -- uses up to 30 percent less electricity than comparable infrastructure and it puts out less heat, which means that the electricity needed to cool it off is also reduced.
We asked our readers whose servers they buy, what goes wrong with them, how good is the technical support the receive, and more.
The three blade servers are based on the Power7 processor introduced in February and come in four-, eight- and 16-core versions
Over the past 12 months, networking solutions and switch company Blade Networks has been expanding its reach into Australia and has increased its local staff count from one to five.
The tier one technology companies ala Dell, Hewlett-Packard and IBM all view for green IT headlines on a weekly basis, but there is plenty of innovation going on among smaller players.Super Micro, for example, just showed off new server technology during the CeBit computer show in Hannover, Germany.
The partnership plans to offer a range of datacentre infrastructure packages called Vblock, to eventually be built by a new joint venture
Many of us who write about green technology issues often get dinged for focusing just on case studies that involve BIG companies. So, here's some information about a much more modestly sized company in Baltimore that was able to get greener AND save a bunch of money on its power costs, by moving the majority of its data center equipment offsite.
Watch out Dell, Hewlett-Packard and IBM. Fujitsu wants to eat some of your market share with a new blade server in its PRIMERGY line that consumes 30 percent less power than its previous models.
