Viglen HX420Ci Compute Node
Introducing the next generation of Intel Xeon (Nehalem) Quad Core Technology from Viglen.

The HX420Ci delivers exceptional performance by taking advantage of the latest Intel Xeon 5500 ‘Nehalem’ quad-core processors. The Intel Xeon processor 5500 series automatically and intelligently adjusts server performance according to your application needs. So you’ll get maximum performance when you need it and gain big energy savings when you don’t.

 
Key Features
Ultra Thin Chassis - Large Memory Capacity
With 8 processor cores and up to 96Gb of RAM occupying only 1U of rackspace, the HX420Ci allows you to build a very powerful cluster using very little space.
Cost Effective
With 8 processing cores in a single 1U| chassis, the power draw is significantly less when compared with 8 single core machines, which in turn reduces cooling costs and an overall lower total cost of ownership (TCO).
Peformance
New Performance Features Intel introduce a number of features to improve performance for this architecture including:
  • New processor architecture
  • Intel QuickPath Technology
  • Hyper-threading
  • Intelligent power
  • Turbo boost
  • New memory subsystem
