Winchester Systems Introduces FlashServer 2Ux4

Winchester Systems Inc. announced a FlashServer line of products that offer high density servers and storage combined into a converged solution.

This server configuration provides a simple way to provide multiple servers and local storage in a single enclosure.

The benefits: one highly engineered, high quality, built-to-last server replaces four separate 1U or 2U servers – at lower cost.

This FlashServer high density solution cuts rack space and power by 50% to 75%.

Power savings are impressive with up to 75% savings – or more using power profiles.

These powerful Intel servers work just like any other Intel server in your Windows, Linux and VMware environments.

FlashServer 2Ux4 supports 8 and 16Gb FC, 6 and 12Gb SAS, 1GbE, 10GbE, 40GbE and 56Gb IB connectivity.

A single unit provides four separate Intel servers each managed by GUIs that are IPMI v2.0 compliant.

Each of the four servers provides two Xeon E5-2600 v3 family processors per server node. Each node supports six 2.5″ disks to 2TB each. Thus each node supports 12TB and a total of 48TB of internal storage in a single 2U enclosure. Three PCIe 3.0 slots per node enable storage and networking expansion. Optional FlashDisk and FlashNAS storage support hundreds of terabytes.

“It is easy to see the immediate benefits of installing one unit rather than four with lower upfront costs plus cutting power and cooling immediately,” according to Jerry Namery, CTO. “Importantly, this converged solution provides a single point of contact for service and support.”

Prices for FlashServer 2Ux4 varies with options but start at $5,000.

Products are available and delivery is 2-3 weeks.
