Intel Modular Server - Techworld Awards

Intel Modular Server wins 2008 Server Product of the Year!

On June 11, the EPSD Modular Server team was awarded the coveted Techworld "Server Product of the Year". Carol Thomann and Phillip Day (pictured to the left) accepted the award on behalf of the team at the 2008 Techworld award ceremony in London.

Jared Leavitt, Intel Modular Server product line marketing manager, explains, "We have created a new server category with this product line and this award reflects that. The market evolved from pedestal server to racks server in the mid-90s and then to blade servers. We have now created the first diskless server with an integrated SAS based SAN and a new server category we call “modular servers”. With this product-line we have removed the cost and complexity hurdle for small and medium businesses for adopting Enterprise technology."
