Beasts

I sent this to you guys, and we have about 20 of them we are actively shipping as demos.

They are a beast and a half compared to the old clunky blade setup.

I love em!

fail to see inovation

Hp is offering something like this right now..
its C-class enclosure (rack mount like Intel's personal solution)

It takes 10 half hight blades or 5 1u blades or any combination...you can mix and match with storage as well.

anyhow beats Intel density half height have 2 sockets full hight 4, half hight can take 64gb a piece and full take 128.

so as far as density is concerned you get a max of 80 cores per enclosure in a 2 by 2 by 3 foot area...hows thar for dense.

and yes storage...blade has either 2 or 4 2.5" hot swap sas on them with either HP's own smart array controller or an LSI controller. yup dual etho on all
so forgive me if I fail to see innovation here. Not that anyone could afford maxed out blades but ...the capability is there.
