 "We can definitely quote rackmounted Atom servers in fairly dense configurations. One example of what we could quote would be : Within each 3U enclosure :12x Sleds, each with TWO C2750 Atom systems on it. So per 3U box :: 24x C2750 Atom systems, each can have 2x 2.5" HDD, Up To 64GB Memory, 2x 10/100/1000 NIC, VGA Port".  "We can definitely quote rackmounted Atom servers in fairly dense configurations.
