SGI's award-winning ICE Cube™ datacentre solution delivers extreme server and storage density in a self-contained, fully portable 20' or 40' container. Its advanced cooling design dramatically cuts ongoing operational expenses as does its easy serviceability. First deployed in March, 2007, the latest generation ICE Cube more than doubles the maximum density to 2800 independent servers per container — for up to 33,600 cores in a 40' x 8' container. For storage-focused deployments, the ICE Cube is capable of housing up to 14.2 Petabytes of data. Designed to augment or replace traditional brick-and-mortar datacentres of any size, these high densities are achieved while offering a broader choice of container sizes and configurability of Rackable™ Eco-Logical™ servers and storage.

Key Features Up to 2800 servers Scales to 33,600 processing cores 1400U available rack space 14.2 Petabytes of storage 3 x mean time between failure 80% reduction in cooling costs vs traditional datacentre Totally mobile container for easy location near inexpensive land and power options
