Fusion Series - SuperBlade

One Blade Solution with Fourteen Modules in 7U

Fusion SuperBlade offers many unique advantages that differentiate it from competitors’ blade products and traditional rack-mount solutions. Customer benefits include maximum affordability, reduced management costs, lower power consumption, optimal ROI, and high scalability - and in most applications, blade servers even reduce acquisition costs.

While current tier-one blade suppliers only offer general-purpose blade servers, Fusion SuperBlade technology is fully optimized for a wide array of mission-critical and compute-intensive applications. With in-house design engineering agility to accommodate customer needs rapidly, Fusion SuperBlade revolutionizes modular computing architecture by offering several advanced application-optimized models such as Enterprise Blade Server, Data Center Optimized Blade, Workstation Blade and Personal Blade.

Green Design

With Fusion SuperBlade servers, you can help preserve not only our green planet, but keep red ink off your books with green cash savings. A Fusion SuperBlade server can save more than 100 watts over a traditional discrete 1U rack-mount server. These savings add up quickly when your SuperBlade chassis is fully populated with 14 servers. By eliminating the overhead in 1U discrete servers and using the high efficiency (up to 93%) power supplies, SuperBlade can save you $700-$1,000 per year in power* for your servers and even more when you add the reduced cooling costs. At the same time, you will reduce your carbon dioxide emissions by over 5.5 metric tons**, the equivalent of planting 1.7 acres of trees.

*Your electricity costs will vary by location.
**According to Energy Information Agency (a statistical agency of the U.S. Department of Energy), saving one kilowatt hour of electricity reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 1.43 pounds.
