MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Low Power Company, Inc. (Lopoco) announced today the commercial availability of its line of high-efficiency servers, which can save enterprises and small businesses more than 50% off their data center operating costs.
At up to $30M per megawatt, IT compute capacity is a major capital investment for any company. Built on proven technology without costly or custom chips, Lopoco’s servers provide substantial energy and cost savings, as compared to the majority of servers currently on the market. Lopoco's servers preserve business continuity and compliance with conventional form factors, CPUs, and server options already familiar to customers.
Lopoco’s suite of efficient servers is ideal for hypervisor roles; typical server applications like email, database, file sharing and web services (Apache/IIS/PHP/Java) and Cloud technologies such as Hadoop & Hive. When using these applications, Lopoco’s servers can save the average company up to eighty-percent on combined power and cooling costs. Additional savings can be realized on Power Distribution Units (PDUs) and Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) equipment.
Currently, Lopoco offers four types of servers:
Lopoco’s servers have already been deployed in a number of enterprises, including Light and Motion Industries. “We have purchased systems from Lopoco and all are performing flawlessly,” said Daniel Emerson, CEO of Light and Motion Industries. “We are also pleased with the power savings. I would recommend them to any small business looking to move off the power hogs that pass for servers these days.”
“We started Lopoco because we saw a void in the server market,” said Andrew Sharp, CEO and Co-Founder of Lopoco. “Lopoco is bringing to market a suite of highly efficient and cost-effective servers that are ideal for small businesses and Cloud enterprises.”
Lopoco was founded by a number of Silicon Valley veterans that have held executive and technical roles at companies such as Convergent Technologies, Sun, HP and Yahoo!
