SUNNYVALE, Calif., March 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — SGI today announced a range of enhancements to its SGI(R) Altix(R) ICE integrated blade platform. With new blade enclosures and blade options available today, Altix ICE delivers even greater performance and flexibility in a system purpose-built to meet the needs of high-performance computing (HPC) users.

SGI Altix ICE is the industry’s first blade system to support the latest Intel(R) 5400 Chipset (codenamed “Seaburg”) with Dual- and Quad-Core Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processors. The newly available blade options increase the performance density of the Altix ICE platform by including improvements to memory, bandwidth and interconnect performance, and an enhanced cluster management environment. The new enclosures also make use of high-performance, next- generation InfiniBand processor technology.

Very cool, I’ll need to check out these new blade servers, they do sound very cool, anything to continue the blade platform in terms of performance or functionality has to be good for the blade platform and choice for the end user.
