TYAN Announces the flexBLADE™ Workgroup Computing Platform
Taipei, Taiwan, 30 January 2008 – 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 utilized 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.”
