2. Introduction
Data Center 2.1 uses EMS’ Cell Computing to attain a “RAID like”
configuration of cooperating RASERS in a virtualized environment
• N(N) Redundancy-The points of failure are the number is enclosures
• Energy Efficiency
• 50-80% Reduced CapEx
• 20-50% Energy Savings
• Modular and Scalable
• Rapid Deployment
RASERS’ integrated intelligence will dynamically adjust for
workload placed on them without power management
software or network
• Plug and Play Dynamic Infrastructure
• Vendor Agnostic
• Adjust Automatically During Technology Refresh
