Key Features

High Performance
Fitted with the latest generation of two eight/sixteen–core AMD® Opteron™ 2000 Series (Socket G34). Support, HyperTransport HT3 Link

Ultra Thin Chassis — Large Memory Capacity
With up to 24 processor cores and up to 256GB of RAM occupying only 1U of rack space, the HX425Ca allows you to build a very powerful cluster using very little space

Cost Effective
The power draw is significantly less when compared 24 processing cores in as single chassis to 8 single core machines, which in turn reduces cooling costs and an overall lower total cost of ownership
