High Efficiency Systems for Server Farms

Penguin Altus and Relion lines offer multiple options for typical scale-out environments seen in social networking and other large web applications. Interactive multi-user services are characterized by I/O and network bound workloads and growth stage capacity planning includes frequent scheduled server roll-outs. Due to the sheer number of systems involved and widely variable utilization efficient power management and cooling are major factors in the Total Cost of Ownership. Integrated hardware monitoring and management are essential for large scale pre-emptive maintenance of scale-out environments.
