This webcast will focus on the key value and benefits of the Appro GreenBlade™ System building block solution based on Intel® Xeon® processors 5500 series (Nehalem) and how it can help reduce electricity costs required to power and cool servers by over 20% while being able to place up to 55% more blades compared to 1U rack mounted servers. It will also cover the benefits of an Intel Cluster-Ready certified solution, starting from 200 nodes up to 1000 nodes. In addition, we will present how commercially supported open-standards hardware and simplified management options such as Rocks+ and/or Appro BladeDome are easily configured and pre-integrated as a part of a complete package.

Attendees will learn:

• Key benefits of the new Intel Xeon processor 5500 series (Nehalem) combined with Intel Turbo Boost and Intel QuickPath Technologies can help maximize even more benefits in power efficiency and improved performance in green blade systems.


• 1U vs Blades – Discover how blades deliver significant power savings with superior reliability, availability and serviceability – all with price parity with 1U servers.


• How Appro GreenBlades can integrate new and green technologies to offer outstanding performance scalability in a flexible, open and affordable cluster architecture for commercial data centers and high-performance computing environments.


• Why deploying an Intel Cluster-Ready certified solution is important and how a commercially supported open-standards hardware and simplified management options such as Rocks+ can help get your job done in less time for faster ROI.
