Tyan has announced the release of its versatile flexBLADE technical workgroup computing platform based on AMD Opteron processors. flexBLADE platform is a multi-purpose built stand alone solution targeting the computational needs of technical workgroups, research and development teams and SMB customers throughout the High Performance Computing market.
Tyan flexBLADE delivers a dedicated computational platform with multiple configuration options in a self contained form factor. The flexBLADE can be utilised as an individual desk-side cluster or departmental resource or easily rack mounted and scaled out as an HPC solution.
The versatile flexBLADE is comprised of a single chassis form factor with up to 5 dual socket blades, configurable as a cluster, SMP, hybrid-combination or small server farm. Supporting the full range Next Generation AMD Opteron processors, the platform can scale from a cool and quiet, low power 1500 watt departmental solution, up to a robustly configured 3000 watt compute powerhouse.
The flexBLADE also supports scaling out beyond standard dual socket to quad socket SMP, FAT NODE, configurations with ample memory support, storage and a PCIe x16 slot per blade which allows multiple graphics heads per platform.
FlexBLADE will be available through RedLinX, the distributor for Tyan in South Africa and Africa.
"This product could not have come at a better time for us," said Graham Maart, business development manager for RedLinX HPS Division, "because Tyan's flexBLADE will position RedLinX as a serious competitor with other vendors in the blade market."
