IronCloud™ announces AMD Opteron™ 6200 Series processors supporting up to 1600MHz DDR3 memory
Santa Monica, CA – November 15, 2011 – Cloud service provider IronCloud™ today introduced its new line of AMD Opteron™ 6200 Series processor-based series servers and turnkey private cloud platforms. These new state of the art infrastructure servers are optimized for high performance cloud systems, database, clusters and 3D visual effects animation in a server environment. By enabling 16 cores on one processor, users can configure up to 32 cores per 2-way server, utilizing up to 128GB of DDR-3 memory per node. With the IronCloud™ 1U Twin server, users can now configure 64 cores and 256GB of memory in 1U of space without purchasing 4-way systems.
The new Bulldozer Opteron 6200 chips, code-named Interlagos will bring unbeatable price-performance to cloud and virtualization environments. AMD claims approximately 84 percent performance advantage over Intel’s comparable Xeon. AMD has targeted these new processors to hosting companies and large cloud service providers.
-Up to 160% more cores to handle more VMs per platform and minimize datacenter space.
-Low cost per VM lets you deploy fewer physical servers as business needs scale up.
-73% more memory throughput to scale as your workloads grow.
“The world’s most technically savvy minds have recognized the price-performance advantages AMD has to offer the HPC community as evident by the Blue Waters supercomputer deployment and the HPCwire Readers’ and Editors’ Choice Awards,” said Paul Struhsaker, corporate vice president and general manager, Commercial Business at AMD. “The HPC community demands scalable and strong floating point performance, high memory throughput and more cores for highly-threaded applications. It’s these exact requirements that helped influence the design of the new AMD Opteron processors.”
These AMD Opteron processor-based servers can be custom built using the online configurator at http://IronCloud.com. For turnkey private cloud systems, pre-installed with VMware vCloud Datacenter Services, please call or email for customized quotes.
