SGI's award-winning ICE Cube data center solution delivers extreme server and storage density in a self-contained, fully portable 20' or 40' container. Its advanced cooling design dramatically cuts ongoing operational expenses as does its easy serviceability. First deployed in March, 2007, the latest generation ICE Cube more than doubles the maximum density to 2800 independent servers per container for up to 33,600 cores in a 40' x 8' container. For storage-focused deployments, the ICE Cube is capable of housing up to 14.2 Petabytes of data. Designed to augment or replace traditional brick-and-mortar data centers of any size, these high densities are achieved while offering a broader choice of container sizes and configurability of Rackable Eco-Logical servers and storage.

Key Features:

  • High density: 1400U of available rack space with full compatibility for Rackable(tm) half-depth rackmount servers
  • Scales to to 33,600 processing cores or 14.2 Petabytes of storage
  • Rackable ICE Cube optimized C2208 system maximizes core density without sacrificing local storage capabilities
  • Sophisticated cooling technology enables up to 80% reduction in cooling costs vs traditional data center
  • Easy serviceability with wide, central aisle for ample room to access systems
  • Leverages DC Power and self-contained UPS technology for maximum power efficiency
  • Easily deployed for immediate functionality
  • Secure, nondescript, weather-tight ISO shipping container for easiest portability (air, land, water)
  • Totally mobile container for easy location near inexpensive land and power options

Well suited for a broad range of deployment scenarios from military applications to disaster recovery scenarios to basic data center expansion ICE Cube provides tremendous flexibility for expansion to areas in which traditional data center facilities are unavailable, cost prohibitive or cannot otherwise capitalize on alternative energy sources in remote locations. The ability to deploy ICE Cube rapidly and in any location helps enable business continuity, allowing for easy hardware migration and an expedited disaster recovery processes. Already in production, a fully populated ICE Cube can be designed, built and delivered in a matter of weeks.
