  2. Why Rackable and SWsoft? • Rackable Systems enables the highest density server farm with the lowest power consumption, cooling requirements, and operational efficiencies. • Virtuozzo enables the most efficient use of hardware, software, and management resources. • Successful software solution coupled with successful hardware implementation: lowest total cost of ownership!

  3. Rackable Systems We ARE: • Founded in 1999, based in Silicon Valley, CA • 4th largest x86 server vendor in North America (IDC & Gartner) • Fastest-growing x86 provider worldwide (IDC) • Successful IPO in June 2005 (NASDAQ: RACK) • Distinguished by our highly differentiated chassis, cabinet, and power designs (patents awarded) • The first to launch DC power solutions for wide-spread data center adoption (patents pending)

  4. Turnkey Serversand Storage Productsthat Leverage an Open ArchitectureApproach Configuration Operations Design Rackable Systems Solutions

  5. Rapid Revenue Growth (1) (2) (1) 12 months ended September 30, 2002. (2) Midpoint of recent guidance range.

  7. RACKABLE VALUE PROPOSITION • Highly differentiated chassis and cabinet designs • Most practical and cost effective density model: 2x density; back-to-back mounting • Optimal system cooling • Serviceability (power mating, front-accessible I/O) • DC power/Low power expertise • Superior lights-out Remote Management • Serial, IP based, and IPMI support • Provisioning, Monitoring Solutions • Maximum flexibility and configurability • Application-specific recipes – build consistency • Turnkey deployment services – integration with current practices • Rapid new technology adoption • World-class OS, firmware, and BIOS expertise • Red Hat, VA Linux, Windows, Solaris

  8. Rackable Systems Vastly ImprovesScale Out Deployments Old Way

  9. The Datacenter Dilemma Increasing Adoption of x86 Scale Out Deployments Density Power Heat Operations

  10. Foundation Series Rack Mount Servers Foundation Series Cabinets Density Half-depth server design mounted back-to-back for 2x density Thermal Management & Power Distribution Unobstructed central air plenum for superior ventilation DC Power option provides power savings of up to 30% Passive cooling design for highest reliability Serviceability Flexibility I/O in front and clean cabling reduces maintenance time by up to 75% Choice of 22U, 36U, 44U With open architecture server designs Remote Management Ethernet, Serial and IPMI capability

  11. Foundation SeriesRack Mount Servers • Open Architecture • Industry standard server-class components • Total customer flexibility • Customization • Full choice of AMD or Intel chipsets • Range of memory, disk formats (SCSI, SATA, IDE) and RAID configurations • Networking: Ethernet, Infiniband • Operating Systems: Linux, Windows, Solaris • AC and DC Power choices available to meet specific data center needs • Form Factors • Broad range of 1U, 2U, 3U, 4U designs • Half-depth designs for increased density and optimized cooling (compatible with standard 19” rack) • 3U and 4U standard-depth designs for maximum expansion capabilities • Easiest serviceability: I/O in front, elimination of rail kits

  12. Scale OutHybrid Blade Servers Up to 368 Processor Cores per Cabinet Scale Out Series Cabinet Density Side-to-side and back-to-back mounting for highest server density Thermal Management & Power Distribution Superior thermal management enables processors to operate at full clock speed at 95 degree ambient temperature DC Power option provides power savings of up to 30% Serviceability I/O in front and clean cabling reduces maintenance time by up to 75% and dramatically simplifies serviceability

  13. Industry’s First Distributed DC Power Solution Power Cost Savings and Higher Reliability Highly reliable DC power supply replaces standard AC power supply Rectifiers convert AC input to DC power for 10-30% increase in power efficiency DC distribution bars inside cabinet deliver N+M redundant DC power to individual servers 20-40% shift or elimination of heat

  14. DC Bus Duct Distribution System Server Cabinets (20) Gemini Power Cabinets DC System Green Field Build-Out

  15. Rackable Systems TCO

  16. Lowest TCO Factors Up to 85% Reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO): 2x CPU density Lower data center costs Superior remote management Lower management costs Open architecture Lower acquisition costs Built-to-order (no unnecessary parts) Lower acquisition costs Lower maintenance costs, higher availability, better performance Optimized thermal efficiency Optimized power efficiency Lower power & HVAC costs Tellme Networks Case Study Ranks Rackable Systems #1 For Large Scale Server Deployments !
