Rackable Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:RACK), a leading provider of servers and
storage products for large-scale data centers, today announced the
immediate availability of MobiRack™, a new class of data center
enclosures. MobiRack enclosures allow new levels of data center mobility
and feature a rugged, light weight plastic case that will protect
Rackable Systems half-depth servers in the most challenging environments.
Complimenting Rackable Systems’ existing line of superior IT data center
enclosures, the ultra-durable MobiRack is capable of housing a variety
of server solutions with Intel® or AMD CPUs, storage and
networking equipment. MobiRack can be used as a fully-contained data
center for initial deployments, expansions and data recovery usage.
Bringing IT resources closer to users, the innovative mobile form factor
will be indispensable to a diverse set of field applications.
"MobiRack is a self-contained, cabinet-level enclosure that combines
servers, storage, networking, UPS and DC power distribution in one
unit,” said Mark Barrenechea, president and CEO of Rackable Systems.
"MobiRack truly frees users from the deployment limitations of fixed
‘brick and mortar’ data centers, and is ideal for fast HPC deployment, a
small office data center, mobile trade shows and events, and in disaster
recovery and military environments.”
MobiRack supports half-depth servers and storage to offer greater
density and lighter weight in a mobile solution. A DC power option will
assure operation even in environments with unreliable AC power.
Front-facing server access ports provide convenient operation in space
constrained environments. MobiRack enclosures offer massive
configuration flexibility with more than 30 options for visual,
functional and environmental alterations. MobiRack offerings include 5U,
11U, 14U and 16U racks with an impressive array of customizable options
including color choices, handle design and air- and water-tight
container capabilities. Ideal for harsh environments, the MobiRack is a
build-to-order product that meets shock and vibration standards,
including those required by the military and the Air Transportation
Authority.
"Today's computing isn’t always deployed in traditional data centers.
Many high-growth usage models require new levels of mobility and
flexibility,” said Jason Waxman, General Manager, High Density Computing
at Intel. "Rackable Systems’ MobiRack™, taking advantage of the
energy-efficient performance and reliability of Intel® Xeon®
processors, is designed for time-critical emergency and field computing
applications that support next-generation data centers that need to go
wherever they’re needed.”
