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: -12-core servers -4-core servers -8-core servers -Microservers 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.”
