BladeRack 2 XT

The BladeRack 2 XT (BR2-XT) from Verari Systems was designed with data center consolidation in mind. Customers who not only need extreme performance and efficiency, but also advanced features in tandem such as robust management and redundant power, will benefit from the BR2-XT's exclusive features. With its ability to house up to 576TB of storage or 528 processing cores per rack, the BR2-XT is one of the densest blade server platforms on the market today. The BR2-XT includes the award winning Verari Command Center® (VCC) cluster management software solution that enables IT managers to maximize the production of their data centers with the "hands off" style of VCC.

With the marriage of robust features and performance, customers in the Financial Services industry would find the BR2-XT an excellent vehicle for desktop consolidation and server virtualization. Data center administrators in the Service Providers field would increase efficiency by utilizing the power of VCC while dramatically cutting power and cooling costs due to the ground-breaking, efficient design of the BR2-XT.

The BR2-XT platform employs the industry leading patented Vertical Cooling Technology™. This allows Verari Systems to employ the fastest and most powerful processors available on the market without the performance loss commonly found in blade servers from other vendors. Increased thermal capacity has been incorporated into the design, as well as the ability to adjust airflow within the cabinet. Our patented Vertical Cooling Technology has proven over time to save money by reducing energy expenditure and ensuring reliability.
