New products and industry alliances

In June, SGI unveiled SGI(R) Altix(R) ICE 8200, the first in a new line of bladed servers designed to close the growing gap between performance and user productivity. Built to accommodate large and varied scale-out workloads, SGI Altix ICE delivers the advantages of blade computing without forcing users to accept compromises in price/performance, power and space efficiency, reliability and manageability. Its ultra-dense rack architecture delivers up to 40 percent more compute performance per floor tile than competing blades. Meanwhile, the Altix ICE system’s highly efficient design minimizes demands on the data center’s space and power, helping to relieve the growing burden of housing, powering and cooling today’s HPC systems.

Very cool, it’s good to see how the SGI blade solution is doing, the more alternatives in the blade landscape there are, the more effective the blade solution can be as the users can choose the right configuration and the right platform for their business, check it out.
