SGI Altix 4700

Enterprise-class blade server platform

SGI’s high-end blade server solutions enables businesses to fit a teraflop of computing power into a standard tall rack. The SGI Altix 4700 blade server solution can support up to 512 sockets & up to 1024 cores under a single instance of Linux.

Granular flexibility & control

Leveraging NUMAflex architecture for globally shared memory, and Peer I/O technology for high-speed access to shared memory for all system components, enables you to mix and match to right-size your computing solution, scaling processors, memory, and I/O completely separately.

This approach to HPC, commonly referred to as reconfigurable computing, enables businesses to adjust configurations on the fly, and maximize their IT investments by allowing them to scale the computing resources they need.

SGI’s computing blades provide a choice between cost-effective compute density or high memory bandwidth for maximum performance. The memory-only blades enable the Altix 4700 to scale up to 128TB of globally addressable memory without having to pay for processors & licenses you don’t need. SGI’s Altix 4700 I/O blades can support connectivity technologies such as SATA, SAS, PCI-X, PCI-Express and Gigabit Ethernet.

The SGI Altix 4700 blade server platform is a standards-based platform that reduces costs and risk. Choose between Red Hat® Enterprise Linux or Novell® SUSE Enterprise Linux®, the SGI platform provides premium performance for both. With SUSE Enterprise Linux®, you can also enable SGI’s ProPack technology to optimize performance of your clustered HPC solutions.
