Appro Demonstrates HyperBlade AMD
Opteron Blade
Appro, a leading developer of high-density, high-performance servers,
announced that it is demonstrating its new HyperBlade Server Cluster, 1U, 2U
dual and quad servers based on AMD Opteron technology at AMD’s main booth in
hall 1 #2E11 at CeBIT 2003. These products will be available for purchase
after the AMD Opteron launch on 4/22, 2003.
Appro HyperBlade Cluster Solution
The latest Appro HyperBlade server is designed for the High-Performance
Computational (HPC) market and provides a fully integrated cluster solution
for large-scale complex computations. It achieves high-density architecture by
using commodity x86 components in a single cluster. With support for up to 80
compute blades up to 160 AMD Opteron; CPU’s, Appro HyperBlade architecture
doubles the current rack density using 1U servers.
Appro 1U and 2U Dual/Quad Servers and Cluster Solutions The Appro 1U and 2U
dual/quad servers are the ideal building block for powerful Web appliances
requiring the highest processor and memory bandwidth performance. For high
performance computing cluster applications, this high quality and cost-
effective platform provides unparalleled performance optimization, dependable
power and thermal reliability.
A key advantage of AMD’s next-generation Opteron; Processor technology is
that
it provides 64-bit computing with uncompromising support for 32-bit
applications. In addition, it delivers outstanding performance throughput by
using AMD HyperTransport; technology-based system bus that enhances bandwidth
in a multiprocessing environment.
"By combining innovative design, use of superior components and leveraging
overseas manufacturing, Appro is able to provide enterprise-level reliability,
uncompromising quality while offering an excellent price/performance ratio",
said John Lee, Director of Product Marketing for Appro.
Appro offers remote server management and high-speed interconnect options
such
as Myrinet, Dolphin, Quadrics and InfiniBand; for cluster solutions. As of
today, Appro has sold thousands of Appro Athlon; MP based servers and
supercomputing cluster solutions worldwide.
"Appro systems based on upcoming AMD Opteron; processors will offer an
outstanding portfolio of adaptive infrastructure solutions for the HPC
market", said Ben Williams, Director of Server Segment Marketing, Computation
Products Group, AMD. "The upcoming release of Appro’s server solutions will
take advantage of the seamless transition to 64-bit computing provided by the
upcoming AMD Opteron; processor, while protecting the investment of 32-bit
applications."
