Quanta QCT to Ship High-Density, 2U GPGPU-based HPC Server in Q1 2013 Demonstrations scheduled for November 12-15 at SC12 in Salt Lake City. The STRATOS S210-X2A2J delivers a 4-GPGPU design in a 2U form factor. High computing density, high thermal efficiency and high vibration isolation are critical in GPGPU servers. The unit is a space- and performance-optimized, 2U rackmount design combines up to 4 GPGPUs with two Intel® Xeon® processors E5-2600 product family. A hallmark of Quanta QCT design is the outstanding thermal performance and power efficiency delivered by the S210-X2A2J. Four hot-pluggable and redundant fan modules are each driven by two motors, dynamically controlling fan speed to save power, increase thermal efficiency and reduce fan-induced vibration to increase system reliability. Two 1600W, 80-plus, platinum-level power supplies help the S210-X2A2J deliver the best performance-per-watt along with excellent serviceability. Quanta QCT partners Seneca Data and Penguin Computing will be demonstrating the The unit simplifies I/O design specifically for HPC applications. In addition to dual GbE ports, it supports one onboard QDR or FDR InfiniBand port for high-speed data throughput. Options include four PCIe x16 Gen3 slots for up to 4 double-width GPGPUs. I/O latency is also dramatically reduced with Intel® integrated I/O and Data Direct I/O technology, which helps datacenters eliminate data bottlenecks, streamline operations and increase agility. Production on the STRATOS S210-X2A2J will begin in February 2013 and will be available through channel partners by the end of Q1. "We have been working closely with the Quanta team and are excited about the S210-X2A2J server platform," said Charles Wuischpard, CEO of Penguin Computing. "For HPC customers using GPUs it is all about density. This platform is a cost effective way that delivers just that." “We are pleased to work closely with the Quanta team and congratulate them on the release of the innovative S210-X2A2J platform,” said Bret Stouder, senior manager HPC development at Seneca Data. “We look forward to presenting this technology to our Nexlink HPC customers.” “An increasing number of our corporate datacenter customers are asking for GPGPU-based HPC solutions,” said Mike Yang, general manager and vice president of Quanta QCT. "The S210-X2A2J delivers on the expectations of our customers: intelligent design that delivers reliable, cost-effective HPC capacity for the most demanding computational workloads." About Quanta QCT Quanta QCT is the only company that delivers all of the major components of the datacenter value chain: server, storage and networking equipment design and manufacturing capability in a single, proven resource. Presently, datacenters are built with server, storage and networking equipment from different manufacturers. While the industry has adapted to this inefficiency, QCT now makes it possible for datacenters to work with a single manufacturer to verify that the solution is engineered to deliver their targeted technical and cost performance benchmarks.
