OK, so let's say I had the following requirement...
5.8Ghz+, 24/7, on Ivy Bridge, with as many cores condensed into a 19" rack mountable system as possible?
I'm looking at phase change and have ordered an LD XL suction system and bench to first test a few mobo/chip combinations before trying to look at the bigger picture. If I can get the above speeds (or ideally faster) 24/7 stable, I'll be looking to replicate some kind of phase change into a 19" rackable system for deployment everywhere - about 30 or so systems.
I've currently got about 30 Sandy Bridge air cooled machines that do ~5.1Ghz but am thinking of taking the next step in terms of phase change - at the moment each of these machines use 3RU of rack space, but it's expensive in the data centres I'm thinking of putting these machines into - from all accounts a phase change system is going to be about 5RU high, which is problematic.
But before I get ahead of myself I'm looking to know:-
1. Does anyone know of any 19" rackable boxes that have a phase change system preinstalled? Less than or equal to 3RU would be ideal, however anything as a box would be OK to start with.
2. Ideally I'm looking for as much core density per RU as possible out of these machines. Was thinking of 2 x Maxiumus V GENE under phase per box might be doable, but again not sure if anyone else has had similar experience. Ideas?
Thanks in advance.
