Sun has announced some new kit during Intel’s Developer Forum. Here’s Sun’s PR, but I found my coverage at Sun’s HPC Watercooler:
Sun Microsystems today extended its family of Intel Xeon-based servers including the fastest 1U server for HPC workloads and the most expandable 2U enterprise-class system based on Intel Xeon processors….
The Sun Fire X2250 server is a perfect 1U server for HPC workloads such as MCAE, EDA, energy and financial services, giving customers an inexpensive compute engine for highly dense, power-sensitive environments that delivers lightning-fast performance and can easily scale for parallel processing. When used in conjunction with the freely available Lustre(TM) file system, customers running these applications can scale to tens of thousands of nodes, petabytes of data, and billions of files.
