The LiquidIQ Unified Computing System

IT departments are increasingly being asked to "do more with less", supporting demands to lower costs while improving service levels and responsiveness. But today's IT infrastructure wasn't designed for this new dynamic reality. Rather, it consists of pre-wired silos of servers, networking, and storage, each managed by specialized IT staff following inefficient manual procedures. Administrative costs for servers alone are expected to reach 63% of total IT spend by 2011 (IDC 2008). The LiquidIQ unified computing system drives down the time, cost, and complexity of managing IT infrastructure by providing unified software-based control of servers, storage, and networking resources.

Dramatically lower operating costs

By combining the benefits of blade architecture and software control, LiquidIQ can reduce setup times by up to 90%, drive up to a 10:1 reduction in management costs and reduce power and space consumption by up to 85%.

Fully integrated "data center in a chassis"

LiquidIQ is a fully integrated and production-ready unified computing system that manages all core data center resources including servers, networking, and storage, eliminating the need to integrate and manage infrastructure from discrete vendors.

Simplified and unified software-based control

With LiquidIQ, application IT resources including servers, networking and storage can be provisioned in a single workflow through a web-based interface or through existing management systems. All application infrastructure configuration information is encapsulated in templates and stored in a secure database so they can be easily tested, activated, cloned, or modified.

Supports bare metal and virtualized operations

LiquidIQ delivers the same benefits regardless of whether the application is operating in a virtualized or bare metal environment, providing flexible physical resources that can be rapidly scaled or modified in response to demand. To ensure seamless migration of existing applications, LiquidIQ is the only unified computing system to support all major operating systems and hypervisors without the need for proprietary drivers.

Enterprise-class, standards-based system

Based on industry-standard x86 architecture, LiquidIQ supports leading operating systems and hypervisors, Ethernet networking, and management tool interfaces for simplified integration. The blade style system is designed with built-in redundancy and hot swappable components to deliver best-in-class reliability.
