Boston Quattro 1264-TL

The Boston Quattro 1264-TL, based on Supermicro’s 2U Twin² architecture, is an innovative, high performance server where the devices are hot-swappable to facilitate ease of maintenance and reduced down time, while saving power and space by sharing the same chassis and power supplies.

Powered by the latest Intel Xeon processors and C600 series chipset, the Boston Quattro 1264-TL delivers outstanding energy efficiency and performance offered by up to Intel’s 8-core Xeon E5-2600 series processors.

Featuring four compute nodes powered by redundant 1,400 watt Gold Level (93%+ efficiency) power supplies for maximum availability, each node supports three hot-swap 3.5” SATA drives to deliver incredible I/O performance and an industry leading 6 x 3.5” HDD’s per 1U.

Connectivity options include 40Gb/s onboard QDR InfiniBand, and 56Gb/s onboard FDR InfiniBand. To further enhance performance, the CPUs are liquid cooled, providing customers with the ability to address a diverse set of challenges facing modern HPC clusters and data centres. This makes the Quattro 1264-TL perfect for performance critical applications in data centres.

The liquid cooling technology efficiently removes heat directly from the CPUs and moves it to a radiator inside the case. Air is blown across the radiator, exhausting all the heat outside of the chassis. As each pair of CPUs has a single radiator there are fewer tube connections than a traditional liquid cooling system, reducing the number of potential leak points.

This advanced liquid cooling technology allows the system to support faster, higher TDP CPUs than would be possible with a traditional heatsink cooling system.

This means that the Boston Quattro 1264-TL is ideal for running computationally intensive applications, such as HPC, medical imaging, oil and gas exploration, quantum chemistry, financial simulation, genomics, and astrophysics.
