Viglen HX225Ta Compute Node
Viglen 1U Twin based on the Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ Processor

Viglen continues to lead the way in server technology with a variety of reliable, efficient platform options now also incorporating the unique value of Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ Processors (codenamed "Barcelona"). Recent additions to the Viglen 1U Twin range illustrate this to perfection by offering 90%+ power efficiency and double the performance in half the space! AMD’s Direct Connect Architecture also enables these systems to deliver ultimate efficiency with consolidation options and power management.

Supporting two AMD Opteron™ processor-based DP motherboards in a 1U chassis, the new Viglen HX225Ta 1U Twin increases computing density whilst minimizing energy consumption, costs and space requirements. When populated with four Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ 2300 series processors, the system features 16 processor cores for exceptional computing density. Each node is a true high-performance system that supports up to 64GB of energy-efficient DDR2 memory, PCI-Express x16, and independent dual Gigabit Ethernet ports.

 
Key Features
Density
The layout and chassis design provides two nodes in 1U and up to 84 Nodes in a 42U standard rack which is perfect to save rack space. The two full servers in a 1U chassis are backed up with an incredibly reliable power supply.
Performance
With the ability to use the latest in processor technology from the AMD 2300 series CPU, Viglen is able to deliver unsurpassed memory I/O and performance.
Cost Reduction
The Viglen 1U Twin reduces TCO and running costs by not only saving rack space but also by incorporating a 90%+ efficient PSU. Having a more efficient power supply means a lower overall power draw which leads to lower electricity and air-conditioning bills.
