Introducing a better, high-performance shared memory solution for SGI Customers

Enter high-end server virtualization. Datatrend, collaborating with IBM and ScaleMP, is pleased to present a fully integrated Virtual SMP solution.

The Versatile SMP (vSMP) is based on the robust IBM BladeCenter platform and offers the advantages of traditional SMPs, at a significantly lower cost. The solution scales up to 112 cores with 1.3TB of RAM and 8.4TB of fast internal storage, running a single Linux Operating system.

Many High-Performance Computing (HPC) implementations are based on standard x86 (off-the-shelf) server clusters interconnected with high speed networking technologies. However, many HPC customers – perhaps users just like you – still need large memory systems (need to run threaded, OpenMP or legacy applications), or simply do not have the time and money to implement and manage clusters.

Meet ScaleMP: Multiple physical systems appear to function as a single logical system. This complete solution aggregates multiple x86 systems into a single virtual x86 system, delivering an industry-standard, high-end symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) computer.

Datatrend expertly integrates IBM's innovative BladeCenter server platform with ScaleMP's vSMP Foundation server virtualization software to create a true, out-of-the-box, high performance computing experience with unparalleled ease of use and economics.

An excellent solution for computational intensive applications, including financial and engineering analysis as well as electronic design automation, the Virtual Shared Memory System is the most highly scalable system and offers a great alternative to SGI shared memory systems.

You can get started with 64 processing cores and 192GB RAM for just $79,999 with the flexibility to scale it to 112 cores and 1.3TB in the future!
