Pinnacle Compute Blades

Need more rack space, but don't have the floor room to accommodate it? Advanced Clustering is proud to roll out our newest server model: the Pinnacle Compute Blades. Reduce the number of "U"s used in your rack by half and fit two dual-processor servers in a only 1U of space.

Each Compute Blade server has two independent blade units that slide into a simple 1U housing. Each blade unit is completely independent of the system next to it, which prevents needless downtime compared to other manufacturers' 1U twin solutions. Streamlined maintenance — most components can be removed without tools. Each system can also feature optional InfiniBand and multiple hard-drive options, including SATA or SSDs. To ensure the highest quality, these systems have been validated for thermal, power and acoustic levels.
