Hyperform ROCKS+ Integrated ClusterMeet the Hyperform ROCKS+ Integrated cluster by Silicon Mechanics, our new turnkey cluster certified by Clustercorp Inc. It features a Rackform iServ R266 head node, and iServ R2020 and R2020-IB compute nodes, with the latest dual-core or quad-core Intel® Xeon® processor technology. It's sized to meet workgroup level needs, and scalable to meet department- and enterprise-level demands. The starting configuration price is below $30,000, making it the current cluster configuration of choice. Twin Servers: A Category By ThemselvesTwin servers are increasingly popular, and since the list of benefits they offer puts them in a category by themselves, that's what we did. We gave 1U Twin Servers a category of their own. We have assembled a group of nine twin servers, including seven new twin server products, that offers a range of benefits designed to meet your high-performance computing needs. If you are looking for server density, performance per watt, or high processor and memory counts, visit the 1U Twin Server category and configure the solution for your environment. Storage Servers and JBODs Expand Storage LineupThe Storform iServ R503 has joined the Storform iServ R505 in the expanding line of Silicon Mechanics storage servers. Both systems feature two quad-core or dual-core Intel Xeon processors with up to 1600 MHz system bus and fully buffered memory, 6 low-profile PCI expansion slots, and redundant power supplies. The R503 has 12 hot-swap SAS / SATA drive bays, and the R505 offers 24, giving customers a wide range of build-to-fit capacity options. These storage server offerings are further backed up by the availability of two JBODs, the Storform D53J, a 2U with 12 SAS or SATA hard drives, and the Storform D55J, a 4U offering 24 SAS or SATA drives. New Quad-Socket OfferingWe are proud to introduce the Rackform nServ A421. The A421 is an enterprise-level server solution well suited to demanding, mission-critical deployments. It's a 2U equipped with four Quad-Core or Dual-Core AMD Opteron™ processors, up to 128 GB DDR2 memory, 6 hot-swap SAS / SATA drives, integrated SAS controller, 4 PCI expansion slots, and redundant power supply with 88% maximum efficiency. This server makes an excellent choice for virtualization. Spares kits are also available for the A421. Rackform nServ A412 LaunchedThe Rackform nServ A412 is our new 1U Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ processor-based server. It supports 3 hot-swap SATA drives, up to 128 GB of DDR2 memory, a dual-port integrated Gigabit Ethernet adapter, a PCIe x16 expansion slot, DVD drive, and floppy drive. With four 8000 Series processors and high-speed memory access, this 1U is the platform of choice for those seeking maximum processor density. Rackform Expedited Pre-Built ServersIn stock today.

Intel Case Study Highlights Silicon MechanicsIntel has recently released a case study (PDF) featuring Silicon Mechanics. The piece focuses on the company's participation in the Intel Cluster Ready program, and outlines the benefits to customers of the ICR specification and certification; principally a simpler way to buy, deploy, and manage high-performance computing clusters. The case study goes on to examine the Proof Point process, which was documented on video, and demonstrated how a Hyperform ICR cluster was able to load and run six separate HPC software packages in succession. |
