Raid Inc. 7U Fusion MAGNABlade

RAID Incorporated announced the Fusion MAGNABlade solution, the highest density blade system in the industry. The 7U chassis can hold twenty Intel Xeon 5600 or 5500 dual-socket nodes with up to 2.5TB of memory. The Green design with 94% power efficiency reduces total operating cost up to $1,000 as compared to discrete 1U servers.

"With optional QDR InfiniBand or 10 Gigabit Ethernet switches allowing bandwidth to support the most demanding applications, along with onboard IPMI 2.0 with KVM over IP and remote virtual media over LAN to simplify management, this solution is an easy choice for any data center," stated Dr. Ercan Kamber, Director of HPC Engineering at RAID.
