FREMONT, Calif. — March 16, 2010 — SGI (NASDAQ: SGI), a global leader in HPC and data center solutions, today announced availability of Origin® 400, an integrated workgroup blade system that features compute and storage area network (SAN) storage functionality, making it ideal for remote offices and small- and medium-sized enterprises. Origin 400 delivers highly differentiated enterprise features, such as virtualization capabilities that provide maximum flexibility and eliminate the need to overinvest in hardware. Extensive software certifications, including VMware®, Linux®, SAP®, Microsoft® Windows®, Microsoft® Exchange and Microsoft® SQL Server®, ensure suitability for a large number of applications.

Origin 400 is a single platform that functions seamlessly as a web server, applications server, email server and backend database server. It addresses a variety of enterprise verticals, including regional healthcare, education, local government, retail, software development, call centers, and community banking, accounting and legal.

An interesting concept, and I could see how it might be ideal for remote site deployments, in those scenarios where I might need to deploy infrastructure in a box for supermarkets, small retail outlets etc, I’ll need to read up more about it, but it’s always great to see innovation and opportunities for the end user community.
