OSTG Marketing's Journal: Liquid Computing launches high-end server

Liquid Computing has begun selling its high-end servers based on Advanced Micro Devices' Opteron processor. "The systems, called LiquidIQ , have room for as many as 80 Opteron chips in a 45.5-inch-tall rack-mountable chassis, and as many as 12 chassis can be linked together with a single high-speed communication network. They're geared initially for high-performance computing markets, where the company promises faster performance than conventional clusters of x86 servers, but eventually the company hopes ordinary commercial buyers will be interested. The systems' built-in virtualization technology decouples the processors from computing resources such as memory, networking and the input-output system. That means that the system can be reconfigured without disrupting higher-level software, and components can be connected to ensure maximum efficiency compared with stand-alone servers and networking gear."
