HPC for Sun in Oregon During Rainy Season Tomorrow Sun has a ribbon cutting ceremony on an HPC facility on the Sun Hillsboro campus in Oregon. Using our CRS manufacturing capability (Customer Ready Systems), we built, tested, cabled, labelled, installed, configured and deployed a large number of clustered racks of our new Opteron servers in a matter of a few short weeks. John Fowler is coming for the official opening and the site is all abuzz with the excitement. It's great for our campus and it's all the product of lots of hard work by our site management, manufacturing and engineering teams. It's a first for Sun and is sure to generate less heat from a thermal perspective than any of our competitors can do and also is sure to generate quite a bit of heat as our customers get excited and hot under the collar at this awesome and beautiful display of benchmark busting compute power. Sun is truly shining on an otherwise rainy day (most likely) in Oregon.
Oh by the way we've got a bunch of other kick ass products in the pipe too so, the competition is on. (2005-11-09 19:59:53.0) Permalink Comments [0]
