Hamburg, Germany (June 13, 2012) - Boston Limited, a leading manufacturer of high performance, low-powered server, storage and clustered solutions, is proud to present its innovative Viridis server, based on Calxeda ARM® EnergyCore™ SOC (System On a Chip) processors, at this year's International Supercomputing Conference (stand #516).
Each SOC consumes as little as 5 watts, this ultra low-powered solution is designed specifically to provide data centre, supercomputing performance whilst consuming less power than a conventional X86-based server. The Boston Viridis is based on a revolutionary new approach to power-efficient computing that harnesses the power of EnergyCore™ SOC processors as opposed to traditional x86-based architecture.
With 48 nodes available in a 2U enclosure, this highly-dense solution can power up to 1008 nodes per industry standard 42U rack while consuming less than one tenth the power that many of today's processors use. This ensures customers are provided with industry-leading power, space and cost savings.
Manoj Nayee, Managing Director of Boston Limited, says, "As specialists in designing energy-efficient solutions for the HPC arena, Boston is delighted to launch the Boston Viridis at ISC 2012; we are talking about a game changing 90% improvement in energy efficiency and density!"
Karl Freund, VP of Marketing of Calxeda, says "Boston's Viridis boasts a highly dense and power optimised solution featuring our EnergyCore SOC at its heart designed for HPC and hyperscale computing"
For a further, more detailed insight into how Calxeda ARM-based servers like the Viridis are transforming data centre computing, Boston will be presenting an in-depth whitepaper, titled: Revolutionising the data centre with application-specific servers based on ARM® processors.
