Ideal for Scale-Out Deployments
SGI's CloudRack, half-depth and standard servers is the ideal choice for data centers looking to maximize server density while cutting operational costs. By leveraging three-phase input power, CloudRack C2 delivers dramatic bottom-line savings by eliminating stranded power. Available in both 24U and 42U sizes, the 24-inch wide cabinets were designed for hot-aisle, cold-aisle data centers.

An essential component of any cloud computing environment is servers equipped with processors that deliver a balance of performance, I/O capabilities, low energy consumption, and hardware-assisted virtualization. AMD Quad-Core and Six-Core AMD Opteron™ processors with Direct Connect Architecture are designed to deliver industry leading power efficiency, optimal virtualization, outstanding performance, and low TCO all values needed to drive a cost effective data center and cloud environment.

• Patented half-depth server design allows back-to-back mounting to achieve 2x density per cabinet
• Dual- and quad-core configurations with up to 704 processing cores
• High drive count storage configurations with up to 336TB per cabinet - ideal for bulk storage deployments
• Energy-efficient AC and DC power technologies reduce heat output and power costs by up to 67%
• Front-facing ports and clean cabling reduce service time by up to 75%
• Open architecture, flexible component choices support specific business needs and budget

When server efficiency matters, it's not enough to compare specs sheets, see for yourself: Comparing Power Consumption
