Raid Inc. Launches 1U Fusion Disk Array

RAID Incorporated announced the 1U Fusion Quad-Socket Nehalem EX Server Solution, providing the computing power in the smallest form factor available in the market.

Eight-Core Nehalem EX processors are at the heart of the next generation of intelligent and expandable high-end Fusion server platforms, which will deliver a number of new technical advancements and boost enterprise computing performance.

Nehalem-EX adds new reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) features traditionally found in the company’s Intel Itanium processor family, such as Machine Check Architecture (MCA) Recovery. Together with new levels of performance, both high-end processors should speed the move away from more expensive, proprietary RISC-processor based systems. Ideal for server consolidation, virtualized applications, data demanding enterprise applications and technical computing environments, Nehalem-EX offers up to nine times the memory bandwidth of the previous-generation Intel Xeon 7400 platform.

"With up to 32 cores and 512GB of memory in a single 1U chassis, RAID now has the ability to provide our most demanding users with the high performance, low latency and density that their advanced applications require," stated Dr. Ercan Kamber, Director of HPC Engineering at RAID.
