A Pod Hotel for your Servers?

Multi-Node High Density Servers

Whether you’re paying by the kilowatt hour or the square foot, colocation can consume a big chunk of the IT budget if not properly optimized. Bandwidth costs have come down, but real estate costs have not. Never has there been a stronger case for multi-node servers. Even if your corner of the datacenter isn’t as spacious as you’d like, you might be amazed at how much compute power you can fit into just one or two rack spaces. Not only that, there’s no need to forego essential features such as redundant power, efficient cooling, and easy cable management. Here is a sampling from our multi-node product line.

The Iris 2491

Iris 2491 2U 4 Node Server

  • Four compute nodes in 2U chassis – Double density and computing power
  • Fit up to 84 servers in a 42U standard rack
  • Up to 6x 2.5 inch  SATA SSDs per node
  • Optional dual-port 40GbE network module for each node
  • Independent power control – Each node has its own front-panel power switch
  • Independent cooling control
  • Higher power utilization increases power supply efficiency
  • Redundant 2200W Power Supply

The Iris 2492

Iris 2492 2U 4 Node server

Boasting similar specs as the Iris 2491, the Pogo Linux Iris 2492 is an all-around favorite. With up to three 3.5 inch SATA drives per node, economical configurations are available.

  • Four compute nodes in 2U – Double density and computing power
  • Fit up to 84 servers in a 42U standard rack
  • Three SATA drives per node
  • Independent power control – Each node has its own power on the front-panel
  • Independent cooling control
  • Provides for easy cabling, better airflow and reduced cabling costs
  • Maintain four systems logically in one physical space
