October 2010: Clustered Systems shines at Chill Off 2

The Chill Off 2 was sponsored by Silicon Valley Leadership Group (SVLG) and conducted by Data Center Pulse and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). Eleven cooling systems, for rack mounted computer equipment were evaluated and compared for their cooling effectiveness and their energy. The results were summarized for the California Energy Commission by LBNL. Find out how Clustered Systems emerged from this contest by reading the report.

December 2009: Clustered Systems' team awarded $2.8M Recovery Act funding to develop a Very Dense Compute Platform.

The team consists of Clustered Systems EMTEC, Liebert, Inc and the Stanford Linear Accelerator's (SLAC) computing department. A two rack system will be built and installed at a SLAC site. Each rack will be capable of powering and cooling 100 kiliwatts and supporting 300 high power CPUs. Leading edge energy saving techniques will be employed including the use of only cooling tower water for system cooling.

May 2009: Clustered Systems Company and Liebert, Inc. sign reseller agreement.

Under the agreement Liebert will incorporate Clustered's server cooling hardware in its racks and distribute the products worldwide.

Nov 17 - 20 2008: Clustered Systems Exhibits at SC08 in Austin TX.

 SLAC's (Stanford Linear Accelerator) provided booth space as part of their effort to provide visibility of new and promising technologies

October 8 2008: Clustered Systems' racks selected for inclusion in Chill-off 2.

This program, sponsored by the Silicon Valley Leadership Group (SVLG) and Lawrence Berkeley Laboratories is designed to enable comparative testing between various energy saving technologies. Clustered Systems is the sole startup out of the six companies participating in the cooling segment.
