Dell just announced today the PowerEdge C8000 series, which is the industry’s only 4U shared infrastructure solution to provide customers compute, GPU/coprocessor and storage options in a single chassis. End users deploying the PowerEdge C8000 with Mellanox fast interconnect solutions gain access to the industry-leading performance of 56Gb/s InfiniBand combined with the power of Dell’s newest high end server, resulting in a high performance solution with low total cost of ownership in power efficiency, system scaling efficiency and compute density.
Mellanox FDR 56Gb/s InfiniBand solutions are already being deployed with Dell PowerEdge C8000 systems as part of the Stampede supercomputer at the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) at The University of Texas at Austin. With a peak performance of more than 10 petaflops, Stampede will be the most powerful system available to researchers via the NSF’s eXtreme Science & Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE) program when installed in January 2013.
Mellanox fast interconnect solutions are providing the Dell PowerEdge C8000 with low latency, high bandwidth benefits for the most resource-intensive hyperscale workloads, including HPC, big data processing and hosting providers. Mellanox delivers the most effective interconnect solution for the Dell PowerEdge C8000, enabling the highest compute and storage performance at the lowest cost and power consumption.
