Rackable Systems' ships MobiRack enclosure for use as a fully-contained data center for initial deployments, expansions and data recovery usage.
"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 include 5U, 11U, 14U and 16U racks options including color choices, handle design and air- and water-tight container capabilities.
The company is targeting military and air transport markets.
"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. " MobiRack takes advantage of the energy-efficient performance and reliability of Intel's 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."
