“Industry’s First Pizza Box-Sized, Dual-Processor Alpha
Server Packs 140 GFLOPS of Compute Power in a Standard Rack,
Delivering the Power of a World-Class Supercomputer”
“API NetWorks, Inc., a leading developer of high-performance,
high-density technologies, today introduced the CS20, the world’s
most powerful server in a 1U package and the company’s most
advanced platform for computer clustering. The CS20 is the
industry’s first rack-optimized, 1U, dual-processor Alpha server
and gives the high-performance computing (HPC) and Internet
community the ability to scale clusters into state-of-the-art
supercomputer facilities, providing the most economic solution with
the minimum computer room footprint.”
“API NetWorks creates the building blocks for the world’s most
powerful computing clusters, and our CS20 revolutionizes the
cluster computing world,” said Gerry Talbot, president and CTO of
API NetWorks. “Prior to its development, no one would have thought
it possible to pack the computing power of a large supercomputer in
such a dense package. Every aspect of the CS20 has been designed
with the requirements of high-performance computing users in
mind.”
“The CS20 will be used to build advanced Web servers and render
farms and as a cost-effective platform in creating clustered
equivalents of supercomputers for large scale facilities, grand
challenge problems and complex research.”
