Mission Critical Storage

Eco-Computer company VeryPC®, has launched a new eco-efficient, mission critical storage offering

The “L210” storage server supports up to 12,000GB of storage, at speeds of up to 700MB/s, which represents one whole CD worth of data per second. The server is a rack mountable, 2u high device that consumes a tiny195W when fully configured and operating. Similarly specified, non-eco friendly storage units use three times as much electricity!

At peak load the 24 disk 12TB L210 server consumes only 250W and
supports 12,000 I/O operations per second, as measured by the industry
standard IOmeter. The server achieves this efficiency through its use
of VeryPC’s GreenServer Architecture™, ultra high efficiency power
supplies and ultra-efficient disks. VeryPC achieve huge performance
through the use of intelligent technologies to aggregate the
performance of the 24 disks together.

The L-Class server also supports the new intel solid state disks, for
ultra high throughput, high performance storage. When used with solid
state disks, each disk has 32 parallel command queues, allowing the
server to address 768 command queues resulting in hundreds of thousands
of I/O operations. The unit is available as a NAS or as a SAN with
iSCSI, Fibre Channel or Infiniband interfaces.

Memset, the multi-award winning Web host and UK’s first carbon neutral
ISP, have been using the L210 to host their SquirrelSave personal
backup service and are making them available to customers as part of
their range of storage solutions. Kate Craig-Wood, Memset’s MD said:

“We are delighted with the L210. Many of our customers have a
requirement for a high-performance storage array and a dual-CPU server
- the L210 gives us this in one compact box. Not only that, but it is
vastly more energy-efficient than the alternatives, which makes it a
very cost-effective performance-storage solution.”

Customers can purchase the L210 unit through VeryPC or one of VeryPC’s
approved Reseller partners, alternatively customers can rent the
servers along with hosting provision from Memset dedicated hosting.
L210 units start from £3779+VAT, with a 12TB unit costing £6810+VAT.

    Well, you know how to make someone cry – in the best possible way of course :)

    Thank you so much; I’m humbled and truly touched by this post. I can’t wait to tell the Green Princess about this; she will be thrilled.

    Karen and Tracey already get my ‘bestest women in the whole wide world’ vote and I’m looking forward to browsing the other sites to find out more about the other gorgeous women you have mentioned.

    Your sister sounds amazing; bless her for all that she has done because you’re a great guy yourself and I’m glad you are here making the world a better place.

    When is international Man’s day? :P
