Data-intensive computing solutions
Silicon Graphics has unveiled new factory-integrated cluster and enterprise-class storage products called the SGI Altix 1330 cluster and SGI Infinite-Storage NAS 330 network. The Altix 1330 cluster solution offers a powerful and integrated large-node cluster option to complement SGI Altix 3700 Bx2 supercomputers, Altix 350 departmental servers, and Altix 330 workgroup servers. The NAS 330 also extends SGI's line of mid-range storage and data management products, including the SGI InfiniteStorage S330, which made SGI's high-performance storage technology affordable for smaller workgroups. Built on SGI's NUMAflex shared-memory architecture, the Altix 1330 is unique among cluster systems in offering the "best of capability" and the "best of capacity" computing. Capability computing codes and large data sets benefit from tightly coupled processors and globally shared memory, whereas capacity computing parallel applications are designed to distribute loads and data sets across processors, memory and local storage. By addressing both types of processing, the Altix 1330 cluster can drive mixed workloads of all types. It provides scalability in all dimensions, with the ability to scale out to hundreds of nodes and scale up to 16 processors and 128GB of shared memory per node. It offers a choice of standard Red Hat Advanced Server or Novell's SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, Version 9. Customers can choose from a broad range of technical applications that have been certified and/or optimized for the Altix platform. The SGI InfiniteStorage NAS 330 offers more than 400MB/second of throughput performance, giving users who run R/W-intensive applications a significant performance advantage over typical workgroup solutions.
