San Diego, Calif. – October 21, 2009- Verari Systems®, a premier developer of data center scale computing platforms with the highest density, availability, and energy efficiency in the market, today announced it is a finalist in the 16th Annual TechAmerica High Tech Awards. Selected in the “Computers and Related Products” category for its FOREST container solution, Verari was one of the first in the industry to engineer and deliver a solution into a portable data center enabling the rapid deployment of a fully integrated IT infrastructure, including computing, storage, networking, virtualization and systems management.

“It is an extraordinary honor to be recognized for accomplishments in leading the way to the green data center,” said Dan Gatti, senior vice president of Worldwide Market Operations, Verari Systems. “Through innovation, we have developed the FOREST container solution to save energy and reduce IT overhead, but also to improve community relations and provide healthy, eco-conscious environments.”

The Verari FOREST container solution is a portable data center that can be rapidly deployed wherever extremely power-efficient compute and storage solutions are needed at a fraction of the cost per square foot of a traditional data center. The FOREST container is designed to house over 2,880 blade-based compute servers or 26 petabytes of blade-based storage. The solution makes use of the same industry-leading patented Vertical Cooling Technology™ that has established Verari Systems as the leader in energy-efficient cooling for blade-based solutions.

Each year, the San Diego chapter of TechAmerica, the nation’s largest high-tech industry association, recognizes local technology companies for their achievements in technological innovation, civic contributions and industry accomplishment. The 2009 TechAmerica High Tech Awards are sponsored by Barney & Barney, CBRE, Deloitte, Formula, Procopio, Silicon Valley Bank, SMS Technologies, TLC Staffing, and United Healthcare and this year finalists will be acknowledged for their achievements on October 30th at the Hyatt Aventine in La Jolla.
