Spec Sheet (PDF)

Front of Quad Opteron



Quadputer®-Navion™ houses four or eight 8000 series quad- or dual-core AMD™ Opteron™ Socket F processors with clock speeds up to 3.2 GHz. Microway's proprietary Across the Board Cooling™ is designed to ensure processors, memory, and peripherals are professionally cooled for longer life and flawless performance. Excellent power distribution is provided by a four module, 950 or 1350 Watt redundant hot-swap power supply.

Quadputer®-Navion™ brings "Quadputing" to compute-intensive applications at affordable pricing. Microway's introduction of the RuggedRack™ 4U server follows our tradition of ultimately cooled designs, while still packing the power needed to perform the most demanding applications. Whether used as a stand alone server or part of an even more impressive multinode cluster, the Quadputer-Navion is the new workhorse for the scientific and enterprise communities.

Microway's Cluster Management Software Package (MCMS) is included and installed at no extra charge. Microway also installs the GNU compilers by default. Options include the PGI Compilers, PathScale EKO Compiler Suite, NetworkSpaces Pro and Sleigh for R from SCAI, Platform Computing's LSF HPC, and Streamline Computing's DDT debugger. All hardware and software is preinstalled and tested prior to shipment.

What does "Quadputing" do for you? It lowers interprocessor latency while increasing bandwidth, thereby improving the performance of fine grain parallel applications.
