Friday July 31, 2009 Sun and Emerson Design Advanced Datacenter for Sandia
Sun Microsystems has announded that an alliance with Emerson Network Power has led to a jointly designed, energy-efficient solution for Sandia National Laboratories. Specifically, the bundled solution includes Sun Cooling Door systems, Sun Blade X6275 server modules and Emerson's Liebert XD precision cooling technology, which removes heat at the source, requires minimal datacenter footprint and helps avoid costly datacenter makeovers.
Dr. Robert W. Leland, director, Computing and Network Services Center at Sandia National Laboratories, an organization served by the joint Sun-Emerson Network Power alliance, explains, "Right away, we recognized the great value of our association with Sun and Emerson Network Power, and we believe that our collaboration on a new and highly advanced HPC (High-Performance Computing) solution will provide leading-edge performance to our customers with substantially less environmental impact and much lower lifetime cost than the other options we had considered."
Globally, datacenter energy consumption is driven by businesses' demand for greater computing capacity and increased IT centralization. When combined with increasing global electricity prices, the financial implications are significant. Full Story.
