Data Center Cooling Simulations

Enterprises in financial services demand increased server and networkperformance and scalability while at the same time striving to dramaticallyreduce IT costs and minimize risk. Appro's solution focuses on serverdensity, memory capacity, higher bandwidth Data Centers and virtualizedenvironments to provide computing flexibility, reliability and ROI. Thecollaboration with Fluent adds analysis and optimization of Data Centercooling, to provide robust thermal performance and deployment planning.Appro will showcase its 3U Quad XtremeServers based on Dual-Core AMDOpteron Processors running CoolSim, Data Center cooling simulations.

Server Virtualization Solution

Appro will showcase its 1U Dual XtremeServer based on Dual-Core AMD OpteronProcessors running SWsoft's Virtuozzo operating system-level servervirtualization software. The demo will show how the software can splitAppro's servers into many fully functional and isolated virtualenvironments (VEs). Each VE can be running its tasks so that the wholeserver is utilized more efficiently while consolidating and simplifying ITData Center performance.
