Server manufacturer Fujitsu has unveiled its next-generation half-height blade servers along with a new chassis design.
The firm's "Dynamic Cube" setup will be sold under the name Primergy BX900 S1.
Fujitsu's double density chassis packs two blade servers into the space of one, meaning more processing power can be crammed inside a businesses' server racks and server cabinets.
The new chassis also includes switches, a power supply, fans and all other necessary infrastructure.
However, according to the Register, the double-density device consumes 20 kilowatts more power than a standard server and companies will have to "remove most of that juice as heat".
The machine uses the latest Intel Nehalem EP Exon 5500 processors and allows businesses to get 14.4 cores in one unit of rack space.
This compares favourably with the 12.98 cores which can be packed into Hewlett Packard's latest server and 11.2 for Dell's new one-unit offering.
Meanwhile, IBM has introduced a less costly entry-level range of servers which do not use the Nehalem processor.
