Verari Systems on Tuesday launched the new Octet 8-Way AMD Opteron processor-based SMP server. The product's design delivers large SMP capabilities to the x86 application base, competitive with proprietary RISC architectures. The Octet 8-Way server supports eight AMD Opteron 800 Series processors, 64 GB of memory, and eight SATA hard-drives
According to a company spokesman, the Octet's 64GB RAM capacity is especially suited for applications requiring large memory such as Electronic Design Automation. Although the Opteron 800 processor was designed specifically for 8-way servers, it has been used primarily in 4-way systems. Verari's introduction offers AMD64 technology in a high-performance, scalable 8-way SMP design.
The Octet 8-Way server will begin shipping next month. Prices start at $23,000. Verari Systems will display the product at Supercomputing 2004 at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh, today through November 11.
Subsea cable alternatives can provide a level of comfort for those concerned about disruptions. Realistically, they will continue to play a small, but critical role in the short term.
Maintaining existing network infrastructures often incurs huge technical debt before newer technologies are adopted over time.
Amid ongoing regional uncertainties, telecom infrastructure in the Middle East has expand to include terrestrial low-latency network infrastructure, which offers resilience and agility in navigating political complexities without relying solely on undersea networks.
