Organizations such as Virgin America, Morgan Stanley, Wachovia, Akamai, Microsoft, Qualcomm, CGGVeritas, Petrobras, Harris, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Sony Imageworks, as well as top universities and research institutions worldwide, are among the customers who have chosen Verari Systems line of award-winning high density blade storage and servers, rack-optimized platforms and software solutions.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
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-XTs 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. BladeRack 2 XT utilizes an ultra-efficient, auto-sensing 208 - 480VAC, 50/60Hz, 3-Phase input power solution that will drastically reduce your organizations energy expenditure. The efficiency of this power subsystem also allows IT staff to spend fewer resources on heat related failures. The optional fully redundant power system allows for greater server uptime, further protecting the investments of customers. The simplicity and elegance of the BR2-XT design will easily withstand the constantly increasing computing requirements of the future. GREEN INITIATIVE Conservation of the environment and rising power needs have become major concerns for the Power and Utility industry. The largest consumer of power is the enterprise computing community. Technology continues to advance, delivering more processing power than ever before taxing the power and cooling infrastructures in place. In addition to this, as the demand digital unstructured data grows, it requires more space consuming valuable real-estate and using additional resources. Through innovation, Verari Systems has developed and implemented equipment and procedures to get more by using less. Verari has made environmental responsibility a manufacturing priority by increasing the overall energy effectiveness of all our product lines while keeping the vision of the green data center in mind. Verari Systems is a contributing member of the Green Grid and is focused on our leadership in energy efficiency for servers and data systems. Verari Systems, through voluntary action, is committed to the reduction of e-waste and the reduction of hazardous materials utilized in the production of computers and other technological devices.
