Appro Linux Clusters Shatter Scalability, Supercomputing Performance

Appro announced that its new HyperBlade Server Cluster, 1U, 2U, dual, and quad servers will be available for purchase after the AMD Opteron launch on 4/22/03.

Appro HyperBlade Cluster Solution
The latest Appro HyperBlade server is designed for the High-Performance Computational (HPC) market and provides a fully integrated cluster solution for large-scale complex computations. It achieves high-density architecture by using commodity x86 components in a single cluster. With support for up to 80 compute blades - up to 160 AMD Opteron; CPU�s, Appro HyperBlade architecture doubles the current rack density using 1U servers.

Appro 1U and 2U Dual/Quad Servers and Cluster Solutions
The Appro 1U and 2U dual/quad servers are the ideal building block for powerful Web appliances requiring the highest processor and memory bandwidth performance. For high performance computing cluster applications, this high quality and cost-effective platform provides unparalleled performance optimization, dependable power and thermal reliability.

A key advantage of AMD�s next-generation Opteron; Processor technology is that it provides 64-bit computing with uncompromising support for 32-bit applications. In addition, it delivers outstanding performance throughput by using AMD HyperTransport; technology-based system bus that enhances bandwidth in a multiprocessing environment.

�By combining innovative design, use of superior components and leveraging overseas manufacturing, Appro is able to provide enterprise-level reliability, uncompromising quality while offering an excellent price/performance ratio�, said John Lee, Director of Product Marketing for Appro.
