SGI Origin 3000 Series Servers and SGI Onyx 3000 Series Visualization Systems Secure Wide Acceptance Across Industries, Continents
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Nov. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- SGI (NYSE: SGI - news), recognized worldwide for providing industry-leading in advanced graphics and high-performance computing solutions, today announced significant gains in the supercomputing industry with the widespread acceptance of its SGI(TM) Origin(TM) 3000 series servers and SGI(TM) Onyx® 3000 series visualization systems, launched in July 2000. To date, SGI has shipped in excess of 4,000 processors within SGI Origin 3000 series and SGI Onyx 3000 series systems of varying configurations. The systems, totaling more than 100, have been shipped to organizations in Europe, North America, Asia and Australia.
The SGI Origin 3000 series and SGI Onyx 3000 series systems use SGI(TM) NUMAflex(TM) modular technology to create some of the world's largest supercomputing solutions. These solutions can be configured to the specific needs of individual customers and break through many previous limits in CPU, memory, I/O and graphics performance. SGI modular supercomputing solutions are being deployed across industries for applications such as automobile design and crash-test analysis, oil and gas exploration, financial services, health care and weather forecasting.
``Whether our customers are modeling the world's financial markets or designing safer automobiles, the SGI Origin 3000 series and SGI Onyx 3000 series systems are able to take research and development and other core business functions to unprecedented levels, processing enormous amounts of data more quickly and more efficiently than any other solution,'' said Jan Silverman, vice president, Advanced Systems Marketing, SGI. ``The modular supercomputing architecture gives our new and existing customers much-needed reliability, scalability, flexibility and performance for their computationally intensive needs.''
SGI will be showcasing its developments in modular supercomputing, including recent and upcoming implementations of the SGI Origin series and SGI Onyx series systems, at Supercomputing 2000 (SC2000) in Dallas, Texas, November 6-10. Additionally, SGI and its partners are scheduled to present case studies about their joint solutions. Presentations are to include representatives from: |
