Altus Servers
Our Altus product line supports the current AMD Opteron 6100 and 4100 processor families code named 'Magny Cours' and 'Lisbon' with up to 12 cores per processor. Altus servers feature
- a high core density of up to 48 cores per rack unit
- four memory controllers per processor delivering an aggregate memory bandwidth of up to 42GB/s for super-fast memory access for each core
- HyperTransport3 connectivity between processors for fast access to non-local memory
What do high core density and high memory bandwidth mean for you? You can do more with less: For HPC applications higher job throughput and shorter runtimes of parallel applications are achieved with fewer systems. In virtual machine environments more virtual machines can be hosted per server. In web and cloud computing environments server response times remain low as each server can handle a larger volume of transactions.
Need more cores? The entire Altus product line will also support the next generation of AMD processors that are based on AMD’s 'Bulldozer' architecture. For more information on the availability of 'Bulldozer' based processors please contact our sales team.
