[November 20, 2011] Boston Limited Unveils Viridis Ultra Dense Ultra Low Power Computing Platform at Supercomputing Conference Tweet Nov 21, 2011 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Boston Limited announced it has introduced its latest collaboration with Calxeda -- the low power computing platforms based on Calxeda ARM EnergyCore SOC (System on a chip) processors. Based on a completely new architecture outside of the traditional x86 platforms, Boston Limited said the Boston Viridis Project provides a new approach to highly parallel ultra low power computing with a self contained highly extensible multi node cluster with integral high speed interconnects and storage all contained within a tiny 2U rack mount appliance. With 48 nodes available in a 2U enclosure this exciting new platform can provide for up to a staggering 900 servers per industry standard 42U rack and can deliver up to 10x the performance per watt over existing processor technologies. Boston said it is working closely with Calxeda to demonstrate the full breadth of capabilities offered by appliances that fall within Boston's Viridis Project. Now, OEM partners and large data centre customers can leverage both Boston and Calxeda's design expertise, allowing them to build hyper-scale sized clusters in a fraction of the time compared to designing traditional server systems from the ground up.
