Microway has announced its most powerful AMD Opteron processor-based platforms. The new six-core AMD Opteron processor-based Navion servers and InfiniBand clusters include two and four socket six-core AMD Opteron processors, code-named “Istanbul.”  Each server offers up to 256GB memory and eight drives in Microway’s 1U and 4U RuggedRack chassis.
Navion 24 Core servers feature two SMP nodes with InfiniBand and Gigabit Ethernet packed into a 1U rack chassis. Each node has two six-core AMD Opteron processors, up to 64GB DRAM and up to two hard drives. This packaging achieves a density of 960 cores in a standard 42U cabinet.

The AMD-P technologies built into the AMD Opteron processors feature a variety of power optimization technologies including AMD PowerNow! technology, AMD CoolCore technology, and Dual Dynamic Power Management. These technologies can help reduce energy use and lower operational cost, according to the company.

WhisperStation, Microway’s quiet workstation product line, also provides improved performance with one or two new six-core AMD Opteron processors and up to three AMD FireStream stream processors.  All configurations have been “quietized” by employing noise-reducing technologies and are available running many flavors of Linux or Microsoft Windows Server 2008.
