The High Speed Server Module 5.0 GHz inside 2U

The High Speed Server Module

5.0 GHz speed, 3.5 inches tall!

Introducing: the biggest change to The Cloud since sunshine! Meet the High Speed Server Module, invented by Liquid Nitrogen Overclocking. Only 2U in height, but capable of delivering 5.0 GHz speed on the i7-2700K chip, the HSSM series will change the face of cloud computing.

The Production Release of the High Speed Server Module (HSSM) consists of three (3) servers each @ 5.0 GHz within a 2U form factor that are cooled externally by a rack-mounted 3U cooling solution. One entire HSSM is 9U, so four (4) separate HSSM units can fill a standard 36U rack.

Chief Technical Officer William Harmon, who coined the industry term "High Speed Server Module," offers more details.

As of today, Monday March 5, we have two HSSM products. One offers a full rack containing 48 cores of the i7-2700K overclocked to 5.0 GHz each, and the other features 72 cores of the i7-3960X @ 4.8 GHz/core. We can configure the systems with other similar chips, such as the i7-2600K, if the client needs a specific CPU that is comparable to the existing product line.

Despite their thin size, we can load them up with as many as 6 hard drives comfortably, and a possibly a 7th. The reason is that the cooling solution is mostly external, freeing up the interior space. The HSSM is truly a technological breakthrough.

Chief Executive Officer Ed Trice was available for comment via video chat this morning right after the press release. He gave a talk to his sales staff, congratulated CTO Bill Harmon, and thanked the hardware engineers for coming in two hours early to start building some systems that had already been ordered.

Yes, I can confirm these facts now that they are no longer restricted by the NDA we had in place. These units have been beta tested at about half a dozen client sites for the past two months, and I happy to report that every one of those clients has already agreed to purchase the HSSM at their locations. We have additional orders for the HSSM-2700K this morning at 8:01 AM, well, before this actually, but I am officially calling it 8:01 AM, even though this was "kept under wraps." I believe this is a true indication that C-level executives in the Cloud Computing field understand that HSSMs will be a true game-changer. If you offer Cloud Services today and don't have High Speed Server Modules, you will shortly be following the path to obscurity and obsolescence. We will also be releasing Intel E5 versions of the HSSM with 16 physical cores per server, so 48 cores per HSSM. Our website will have more details as we get closer to its release date.
