Our Third Intel Blade
First, there was X6250 ...
Then came X8450 ...
Now, we're introducing Sun Blade X6450 Server Module, our third blade server using Intel's Xeon processors. We're announcing this blade to the supercomputing community today. Lisa Schoeller will blog live from ISC-DRESDEN.
We've put a massive amount of hardware into our blade form factor: (4) 7300 series Xeon CPUs, 96GB RAM (expandable to 128GB) and a 16GB compact flash. I've listed out sample use cases:
HPC::> X6450 + 6048 Chassis + Infiniband I/O Modules + Solaris + FC or SAS I/O Modules
VIRTUALIZATION::> X6450 + 96GB RAM + This I/O Card + Your choice of virtualization software
