“The VPX450 outclasses all other options, packing more compute and communications power than has ever been available in 6U”
With the “Phoenix” VPX450 OpenVPX “motherboard” installed in a deployed and rugged air-cooled chassis, server-room performance is available to airborne, shipboard, vetronics and battlefield installations where rackmount servers don’t fit or are inappropriate due to size, ruggedness or foreign sourcing. Phoenix offers the raw server performance, onboard I/O and data transfer to the rest of the OpenVPX system.
The single blade server includes 44 cores and 88 virtual machines, 1 TB of the fastest ECC DRAM in the world, 80 lanes of PCIe Gen 3 serial interconnect, dual 40 Gig Ethernet—plus storage and I/O.
“The VPX450 outclasses all other options, packing more compute and communications power than has ever been available in 6U,” said Ben Sharfi, CEO and chief architect, GMS. “You cannot top these specs and performance. There’s no way.”
Key Benefits of VPX450
|
The VPX450 “Phoenix” boasts:
Server Engine—Dual socket 2.2 GHz Intel® Xeon® E5 v4 with 22 cores adds to 44 total cores and 88 virtual machines on one blade, plus 1 TB DDR4 with ECC (industry’s fastest 2,133 MT/s). The CPUs are reliably cooled using GMS patented RuggedCool™ specialty heatsinks and CPU retainers for maximum thermal transfer without CPU throttling.Besides acting as a traditional OpenVPX “slot 1 controller,” the VPX450 server blade can be used as part of a compute cluster system, with each Phoenix blade providing 34,330 PassMark performance (Feb 2018). Inter-card communication via the 68 PCIe connections can be used to create a high-performance cluster computing (HPCC) system via symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) for data mining, augmented/virtual reality, or block chain computation.
