Boston, MA - August 15, 2006
Angstrom Microsystems™,
a Platinum Member of the AMD Solution Provider Program, today announced
their first quad processor blade server, which will support
Next-Generation AMD Opteron™ processors. These blade servers can be
easily racked to provide one of the highest density of any 4P AMD
Opteron processor-based server in a rack today – up to 208 processors
and 52 blades.
"Angstrom’s compute hungry customers can take
full advantage of Next-Generation AMD Opteron processors in one of the
densest cluster-friendly form factor available today," said Lalit Jain,
CEO of Angstrom Microsystems. “With our patent-pending cooling
technology, Angstrom enables scaling of high volume deployments with
the most current processors AMD has to offer.”
A Titan64 QuadraBlade rack is comprised of four
stacked nests, each nest housing 13 QuadraBlades for a total of 4 x 13
blades, or 52 blades. Each blade is a four-processor cache coherent,
shared memory (SMP) system with the option of 2 SCSI, IDE, or SATA-II
HDDs and high- speed interconnects such as Infiniband or Infinipath.
"Angstrom Microsystems recognizes that AMD64
technology is able to address compute-intensive users’ demands such as
performance-per-watt and energy-efficiency," said Pat Patla, Director,
Server/Workstation Marketing, AMD (NYSE: AMD). "Customers of the
Next-Generation AMD Opteron processor-based Titan64 QuadraBlade server
can expect a manageable and reliable high performance
computing-specific cluster solution that can scale as more compute
power is required."
