NEXXUS C Deskside HPC
A New Era of Computing Productivity
Engineers, scientists and researchers know that High Performance Computing (HPC) can make all the difference – taking hours, days or weeks off project timelines and solving problems that would otherwise be unapproachable. Unfortunately until now, HPC has been available only to a few. Those computational scientists or modeling and simulation engineers who could master science, program in parallel, distribute algorithms, manage an HPC cluster, and were fortunate enough to work in an organization with supercomputing resources could put HPC to work. For the rest, technical problems languished on the desktop – stuck on a scientist’s or engineer’s workstation, slowing time to market and negatively affecting cost, competitiveness and quality. With the NEXXUS C’s ground-breaking performance, affordability, ease of installation and use, CIARA is democratizing HPC once again – placing extreme computing capabilities, previously reserved to few, into the hands of many. The NEXXUS C deskside cluster makes easy work of complex applications used in the nancial services, manufacturing, digital media, life sciences and energy industries, as well as traditional applications used in government, defense and higher education sectors.
Purpose-Built for Of fices, Laboratories and Workgroups
In the past, high performance computing meant having a dedicated data center that could meet the unique requirements of cluster systems. Today, the NEXXUS C Series delivers unmatched performance, extreme modularity, ease of use, a smart design for offi ce environment usage and energy efficiency in a pedestal form factor that will easily fi t under or beside a desk and plugs into standard office wall outlets. NEXXUS C industrial-grade liquid cooling permits low noise operation and complies with today’s office noise regulations.
World’s Most Modular Cluster
The NEXXUS C Series is the only HPC system in the industry to combine high performance compute (Processors and/or GP-GPU), workstation and storage capabilities in a single and integrated
of fice-compliant chassis. This modularity allows for incredible utilization exibility. For example, the optional integrated technical workstation can often eliminate the need for a separate graphic system. Each NEXXUS C chassis can be confi gured with 3 to 5 trays accommodating up to 10 nodes and 20 processors.
The Perfect Digital Manufacturing Tool for the Missing Middle
Who says world-class high performance computing should be reserved for large research centers or Top100 companies? The NEXXUS C makes Extreme Performance Computing available to everyone, by combining the power of a high performance cluster with the affordability, ease-of-use and seamless integration of a workstation. Equipped with an industrial grade advanced cooling system, powerful Intel® Xeon® processors, NVIDIA® Tesla™ cards and state-of-the-art visualization and storage capabilities, the NEXXUS C delivers industry-leading performance across a broad range of applications and standard benchmarks. With preinstalled Microsoft® or Linux operating system, NEXXUS C delivers true “ease of everything” computing, allowing any user to apply HPC power to challenging science, engineering and design problems. Designed and priced for individuals or workgroups, the NEXXUS C takes the HPC cluster out of the data center and places it next to your desk.
