High-Efficiency Low-Power "Green" Servers

Efficient Servers featuring Powerful Modern Processors

Intel® is not slowing down its pace of technological innovation! Even as the fabulous and power-efficient Quad-Core and Six-Core Intel® Xeon® 5600-series processors are still plenty capable, Intel has released its new Xeon® Processor E7 Family — "Westmere-EX" (32nm) architecture — that brings even more processing power and scalability to the computing scene!

These top-of-the-line processors deliver ideal performance for the most data-demanding workloads. With improved scalability and increased memory and I/O capacity, you can readily adapt to changing short-term business demands while addressing the requirements of long-term business growth. Advanced reliability and security features work to maintain data integrity, accelerate encrypted transactions, and maximize the availability of mission-critical applications.

These latest Xeon E7-xxxx processors include the 28xx models (which support single- and dual-processor configurations), the 48xx models (which support up to four-processor configurations), and the 88xx models (which support up to eight-processor configurations). Each has the following set of features:

• At least 6, and as many as 10, Cores (i.e., max of 20 Threads for hyperthreading)
• up to 30MB L3 Cache
• up to 6.4GT/s/processor System Bus Speed
• 130W Maximum Thermal Design Power — thre is even a 10-core low-power version with a 105W Max-TDP.
• Advanced Encryption Standard — New Instructions
• Trusted eXecution Technology

Along with the E7-Series Xeon Processors, Intel® has released its new Xeon® Processor E3 Family — "Sandy Bridge" (32nm) architecture — that offers many of the same features as the E7-Family, but with either 2 or 4 cores per processor, and with certain high-end features omitted that are currently reserved for the E7-xxxx CPUs. These processors offer efficient low-powered models starting at 20W TDP, with the highest TDP of the E3-family being only 95W.

The power-efficient Quad-Core and Six-Core Intel® Xeon® 5600-series processors— "Gulftown" (32nm) architecture — are an integral part of our energy efficient servers. These efficient CPUs (as low as 10W TDP per core) are great for creating data-center and business systems with ample performance headroom to handle the demands of applications consolidation and/or virtualization solutions. These second-Generation High-K Metal Gate 32nm Processors blend Security, Performance, and Energy Efficiency into a very compelling reason to upgrade your computing infrastructure.

This generation of Xeon processors delivers up to 60 percent greater performance than the previous-generation processor, enabling data centers to perform massive consolidation — you can now replace 15 single-core servers with one server and achieve a return on their investment (ROI) in as little as 5 months.

Intel® Xeon® 5600-series CPUs (i.e., Gulftown or Westmere-EP), employs Intel’s recent 32nm microarchitecture in four-core or six-core configurations. Intel® Xeon® processor 5600 series features Intel Intelligent Power Technology that reduces energy cost over single core servers by automatically shifting the CPU and memory into the lowest available power state, while Intel Turbo Boost Technology intelligently adjusts performance to application needs.

In addition, built-in hardware-assisted virtualization technology with Intel® Virtualization Technology FlexMigration (Intel® VT FlexMigration) gives you the power and flexibility to virtualize different generations of Intel® Xeon® processor-based servers within the same virtualization pool, giving you the ability to migrate workloads to fewer servers at night to save energy.

High-performance computing for your Server and Workstation requirements now comes with greatly reduced power consumption (especially power-to-performance ratio) thanks to the cutting-edge innovations in Intel's 5600 series Xeon processors.

Fast Servers with Energy-Efficient SSDs, Power-Supplies, Graphics Cards

"Modern Visions for Technology" (MV4T) Servers feature modern high-performance and high-efficiency technology innovation and design throughout, delivering compelling advantages for ecological "Green Computing" while maintaining a cost effective design. We use ultra-efficient power supplies (up to 93+% peak efficiency) and other power efficient components like low-power CPUs, low-power 2.5" drives and SSDs, and low-voltage memory (RAM).

Our servers are also designed with Software in mind: the software that you will be running on these powerful and efficient servers. Whether you are implementing host-based or bare-iron virtualization, or deploying a new powerful and power-friendly database server, web-server, or other application server, we tailor our servers to meet the performance demands of enterprise software while containing energy costs. Our ability to deliver highly-optimized multi-processor servers equipped with high-speed SAS/SATA/SSD/RAID storage.

Our company's hardware focus is centered almost exclusively on leading-edge power-efficient solutions that include low-power CPUs / processors, high-efficiency servers and workstations, highly efficient power-supplies, extremely low-wattage and low-heat small-form-factor (2.5-inch) disk drives and SSD (Solid State Drives — like the Intel X-25M and X-18E series) storage, power-optimized graphics cards, and virtualization technologies (VMware ESXi, Workstation, and the like). High efficiency and high performance combine in our optimized custom solutions.
