Quanta Earns Certification for Three Server Models From Newly Launched Open Compute Certification Labs
San Jose, Calif. (PRWEB) January 28, 2014 -- Three server models from Quanta QCT have earned certification from the two newly launched certification labs supporting the Open Compute Project. Quanta QCT, the leading provider of server, storage and network products for cloud datacenters, will demonstrate the certified models in booth #B9 at the Open Compute Summit in San Jose this week.
Last October, Quanta QCT was named an OCP Solution Provider. The company’s history with the Open Compute Project stretches back to 2009, when Quanta designed server boards for Facebook in a partnership that predated formation of the Open Compute Project.
Today, Quanta QCT offers the most complete lineup of OCP-compliant products, including Rackgo X in the OCP 21-inch Open Rack standards and the conventional 19-inch form factor.
The three models now certified are:
S210-X12RS
Certified by the Open Compute Certification and Solution Laboratory at The University of Texas at San Antonio, the S210-X12RS is a 1U, 19-inch width system based on the Intel Decathlete Server Board. The product supports a high memory capacity with 24 DIMM slots, perfect for memory-intensive applications. Quanta QCT has taken a leadership role within the OCP community in productizing the Intel Decathlete platform for a variety of cloud datacenter infrastructure applications.
