Vortex Beowulf Clusters/Blade Servers

ASL Vortex Beowulf Cluster/Blade Server delivers the highest computing density (Up to 40 processors/640 cores in a 7U rack). Each Vortex hosts either fourteen or twenty Intel/AMD dual-processor computing nodes. Four hotswap and redundant power supply modules with 93% efficiency are used to minimize energy consumption. Note: Each Vortex requires two separate 30A circuits.

Each Vortex includes the chassis management module (CMM) that enables remote control of individual nodes using KVM over LAN. In addition, CMM monitors the chassis health status such as power supply voltage level, temperature and cooling fan speed. For connectivity and communication, Superblade is configured with low-cost Gigabit Ethernet (standard) or optionally 10-Gigabit Ethernet/Infiniband switch.

For supercomputing environment, ASL Vortex Beowulf Cluster/Blade Server delivers maximum affordability, high scalability, expandability, and unsurpassed total cost of ownership (TCO).
