(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Enterprise data center solutions provider Egenera (www.egenera.com) has released a series of four new processing blade (or “pBlade”) products based on the new 6-Core Intel Xeon processor E7400 series.
According to Egenera’s announcement this week, all of its new 6-Core Intel Xeon processor pBlades are certified to support Microsoft Windows, RedHat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise, and Oracle Enterprise Linux operating systems.
With four 2.4GHz Intel Xeon E7450 processors, the new pBlades come in 32, 64, 96 and 128GB memory configurations, and will be able to support as much as 192GB in the future. Built for enhanced virtualization capabilities, the Intel Xeon processor E7450 reduces costs and boosts system utilization. Customers will also benefit from achieving greater density with lower cooling requirements due to the space saving and energy efficient technologies.
“Egenera continues to offer customers the greatest choice and flexibility – in addition to the most powerful x86 blades in a standard 1U form factor - in the industry,” Egenera chief technology officer and executive vice president of engineering Pete Manca said in a statement. “Leveraging Intel’s latest advanced technologies, the newest Egenera pBlades enable businesses to run their dynamic data centers even more efficiently than ever before.”
Egenera’s integrated system lets pBlade modules run diskless and stateless, enabling automated allocation, repurposing and failover, since any processing blade can assume the identity of any other server. Egenera’s integrated systems control these stateless blades with its PAN Manager software, letting customers automatically allocate resources to applications and dynamically scale performance.
