Head Nodes

HX515Hi

The HX515Hi is designed for the role of a master node or login node within a cluster. With redundant PSUs and RAID6 resilience, the HX515Hi provides a stable and reliable platform in a tiny form factor. The HX515Hi is also built upon the Intel Xeon E5-2600 technology which delivers exceptional performance for HPC and scientific workloads.
