CCSI (Computer & Control Solutions, Inc) offers first 1U dual AMD Opteron™ processor-based server, with redundant hot swap power supply and dual hot swap hard drives.

ATLANTA, GA -- 4/22/2003 -- CCSI (Computer & Control Solutions, Inc.), a leading manufacturer of custom, high-density servers announced today that the RC 0103 1U chassis featuring redundant hot swap power supplies for the AMD Opteron™ processor is now available. The RC 0103 accommodates up to two hot swappable Serial ATA, IDE or SCSI hard drives and one internal fixed SATA, IDE or SCSI hard drive plus one slim CD. The RC 0103 chassis is in production and available now.

The RC 0103 1U is a platform of choice for the coolest running and most powerful 1U servers in the market today. In announcing the new RC 0103 1U server, Mr. Rockney Alavi, President of CCSI stated, “The peerless RC 0103 1U was specifically designed to meet and exceed the requirements of high-density extreme performance computing systems.”

“CCSI’s RC 0103 1U with dual AMD Opteron™ processors can helps customers build robust server products powered by the AMD Opteron processor,” said Ben Williams, director, AMD’s Server/Workstation Business Segment. “The AMD Opteron processor can enable customers to do more work in less time, offering increased speed and performance.”

Not only does the RC0103 1U support the full range of AMD Opteron processors, it includes the patent pending Wind Tunnel™ cooling system that provides unequalled cooling, which is critical to stable system performance when operating at full power. The RC0103 chassis with the Wind Tunnel™ cooling system also provides unequalled high availability by utilizing dual hot swappable power supplies, and versatile data storage configurations including hot swappable drives.

These unique features make the RC 0103 the ideal platform for high-density, high-availability, extreme computing applications such as Beowulf clusters, artificial intelligence, graphics rendering and photo-realistic simulation, biometric analysis, Web hosting, video streaming, financial modeling, CAD/CAM, data mining, and a host of other applications. The new RC 0103 is only 17.5" (W) x 26" (D) x 1.69" (H) in size.

The RC 0103 1U is built around a patented chassis design which contains two custom hot-swappable power supplies; up to two hot swappable Serial ATA, SCSI or IDE hard drives and one internal SATA, IDE or SCSI hard drive. The RC 0103 1U is a "thoroughbred of 1U chassis" designed for High Performance Computing without processor speed limitations. These are the powerful, yet cost effective servers that will find uses in clustered environments and a host of other computation-intensive applications. Only the RC 0103 1U avoids chassis obsolescence and allows "full speed ahead" computing in a future with ever faster CPU speeds.
