Viglen HX420T2i HPC Twin Node
Unrivalled Efficiency and Performance —
Cost Effective with High Reliability/Density

The HX420T2i features four hot-pluggable Dual Processor nodes in 2U rack space with a high efficiency (93+) 1+1 Redundant Power Supply. With up to 32 cores (or 64 threads) and optional onboard QDR or DDR infiniband, the HX420T2i delivers exceptional performance for HPC and scientific workloads in a reliable and power efficient enclosure.

 
Key Features
Dynamic scalability
managed cores, threads, cache, interfaces, and power for energy-efficient performance on-demand.
Design and performance scalability
for servers, workstations, notebooks, and desktops with support for 2-8+ cores and up to 16+ threads with Intel Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel HT Technology), and scalable cache sizes, system interconnects, and integrated memory controllers.
Intelligent performance on highly-threaded applications
with Intel HT Technology, bringing high-performance applications into mainstream computing with 1-16+ threads optimized for new generation multi-core processor architecture.
Scalable shared memory
features memory distributed to each processor with integrated memory controllers and Intel® QuickPath Technology high-speed point-to-point interconnects to unleash the performance of future versions of next-generation Intel® multi-core processors.
Multi-level shared cache
improves performance and efficiency by reducing latency to frequently used data.
