Appro(Milpitas, CA) introduced the APPRO 1U and APPRO 3U XtremeServers thisweek. Both are available with single- or dual-core AMD Opteronprocessors and accelerate server performance and throughput viaintegrated processor and memory optimization. The APPRO 1U XtremeServerallows up to 64GB of onboard memory while the APPRO 3U XtremeServerpermits up to 128GB. When configured with dual-core AMD Opteronprocessors, these servers deliver performance equal to servers withdouble the number of CPUs.

Designed with enterprise high-performance computing (HPC) in mind, thenew APPRO 1U XtremeServer benefits from a flexible scalable design andfeatures up to two single- or dual-core AMD Opteron processors andeight DIMM sockets per CPU. In addition to 64GB of memory per server,the APPRO 1U allows for up to 800GB SATA or 292GB SCSI hot-swappabledrives, one PCI-X, and one PCI Express x16. Supported enterpriseapplications include Beowulf clusters, financial modeling, computefarms, digital rendering, seismic analysis, video streaming, webhosting, complex custom application development, or other applicationsrequiring higher floating-point and memory bandwidth performance.

The APPRO 3U XtremeServer was designed for large compute-intensiveapplications such as mechanical and engineering graphic simulation andrendering, computational fluid dynamics, scientific visualization, anddigital content creation. It features up to four single- or dual-coreAMD Opteron processors and eight DIMM sockets per CPU, up to 2.4TB SATAor 876GB SCSI hot-swappable drives, up to two PCI-X and two PCI Expressx16, and redundant power supplies and fans.

The APPRO ServerDome provides remote server management for the APPRO 1Uand 3U XtremeServers. ServerDome remote management software automatesand simplifies IT and networking tasks, letting the systemadministrator deploy, configure, manage, and maintain up to thousandsof servers.  The ServerDome Remote management is IPMI 2.0compliant and works with either Windows or Linux.

Price: $2,610 (APPRO 1U XtremeServer); $15,753.00 (APPRO 3U XtremeServer). For more information, visit appro.com
