ITrademark InfonDation °SGIOrigin Product Overview 3000 Series SGITM Origin™ 3000 Series of Servers Product Overview The SGITM Origin™ 3000 Series of servers sets the standard for high • S.G.LQ.r.igin.~2..QQ performance in today's market place by delivering flexibility, resiliency, • S.g.LQrisin investment protection, and performance in a new and innovative 3200c package. SGl's third generation NUMA architecture addresses the • SGI Origin 3400 challenges and cost of true scalability though a new approach in modular • SGI Origin 3800 computing. We call this approach NUMAflex, and it will revolutionize the System high performance server market by making it possible to scale in multiple Software dimensions as your business needs grow and change over time. Acquire only the computation, data processing, or communications power you NUMAflex need, and expand and redeploy systems with ease as new technologies • Bricks emerge. • Partitioning Datasheet & NUMAflex™, Setting the Standard in Modular Computing White Papers SGI realizes that a growing number of competitive business environments have increasingly complex problems that need to be resolved in a short Server period of time. But not every business has the same problems and needs Solutions or the resources to frequently replace computing systems. Providing the Related News ability to build a system that meets the requirements for a specific problem, NUMAflex is an innovative approach to computing, combining Contact Us the third generation of SGI NUMA architecture and a modular hardware design that isolates the various components of today's servers. These Dconfigure modular components, or "bricks", isolate the CPU and memory, 1/0, This System interconnect fabric, and storage into separate bricks. Scalability is no SGIOrigin longer measured by how many systems you can link together, but by the 3200 ability to scale the various components of your system to meet the demands of your applications. SGIOrigin 3400 Flexibility to Design Your Own System SGIOrigin You no longer have to pay for the wasted potential common in yesterday'S 3800 server architectures. The SGI NUMAflex snap-together concept allows you to configure and reconfigure systems brick by brick to meet the exact 8Related Sites demands of your business applications. Complete multidimensional flexibility allows you to deploy, upgrade, service, expand, and redeploy SGIOnyx systems in every possible dimension to meet your current and future 3000 Series business needs. Storage Systems Ready for Tomorrow's Technology Networking NUMAflex offers the most powerful investment protection in the industry. .§tr~~m.i.!'Jg Keeping you on the leading edge, the SGI Origin 3000 series of servers Media can be upgraded with new technologies as they emerge, without having to replace the existing infrastructure. For example, upgrading to new 1/0 technology is as simple as adding a new brick to your system, instead of resorting to a "forklift" upgrade as required by other architectures. And for those who are not sure about the operating system they want to use in the future, SGI is in development of an Intel® 1A/64 CPU brick capable of running LinuX®. SGI NUMAflex will allow you to upgrade your CPU bricks while maintaining your investment in the infrastructure of your existing system. Minimize Downtime, Increased Serviceability SGI NUMAflex also provides increased resiliency through its modular design. Many hardware components can be removed and serviced as needed without interrupting the overall system performance. And for maximum fault containment, IRIX® 6.5 on the SGI Origin 3000 series supports partitioning, allowing you the flexibility to divide a single large SSI (single system image) server into smaller SSI systems. High Performance Scalability without Roadblocks Building on the performance of the award winning SGI Origin 2000 series and its second generation NUMA arChitecture, the SGI Origin 3000 series achieves significant performance gains. Through its modular design and improvements in SGI NUMA 3 architecture, the system structure allows for greater system and memory bandwidth with reduced latencies. And true scalability means that performance will scale proportionately as your system grows. SGITM Origin™ 3200 This affordable, routerless system scales from two to eight processors in a single shared-memory image and can be clustered (SGIT.M Ori.Q.inT.M 3200C) to leverage the power of hundreds of CPUs using a variety of low-latency, high-bandwidth interconnects. A single point of administration is achieved to manage the cluster through the SGI IRISconsole™ management system. SGITM Origin™ 3400 This server includes two six-port routers to accommodate scaling from 4 to 32 processors in a single shared-memory image. For maximum flexibility, the processor and I-bricks can be configured within the same rack, with the option of adding a second rack for additional I-bricks in application areas demanding higher levels of 1/0. SGJTM Origin™ 3800 With the largest single-kernel, shared-memory image available, SGI Origin 3800 easily scales with snap-together modularity to 512 processors and a terabyte of memory. Built-in Metarouters allow clustering to tens of thousands of CPUs. Customers interested in solving very large problems will find SGI Origin 3800 the most powerful and flexible shared-memory system platform on the market. If workloads require a mixture of shared-memory and message-passing development environments, it is flexible enough to be configured with software as a single 512-processor shared-memory server or be divided into several partitions, each running a separate OS without having to recable or reconfigure the hardware. Partitioned system benefits from the low-latency and high-bandwidth NUMAlink™ Interconnect between system partitions while also providing the advantage of higher availability that a cluster delivers. privacy poli~ Iquestions/comments C.QP''y!.!gbt~.1.~;}':;?9QL§'lllY.9.!l_GmlbjQ§~J!lg, All rights reserved.
