Top Performance for Demanding Application f1200 is a shared-memory multi-processor system product line for High Performance Technical Computing (HPTC) applications. This Intel® Xeon® processor-based system, supporting Intel® Extended Memory 64 Technology, is the ideal platform for departmental users who have applications that require high processor count and large memory addressability. The f1200 complements the SGI Altix family of servers, the industry' leading end-to-end server offerings for demanding applications. Based on either Dual-Core or Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors, f1200 systems combine Intel's high-performance processors and ScaleMP's versatile SMP (vSMP) architecture with SGI's expertise in compute-and data-intensive applications. f1200 systems provide out-of-the-box value with Linux® operating system and integrated pre-installed applications for optimal performance and rapid deployment.
Flexible Packaging The f1200 product line offers a choice of several packages and configurations. The systems are available in either desk-side or 6U rack-mount form factors and support Intel Dual-Core processors (f1220) or Quad-Core processors (f1240). The f1200X expansion module allows the f1220 and the f1240 systems to be expanded up to 4 chassis, providing total of up to 48 processors and 768GB of shared-memory.
Factory-Integrated for Maximum Flexibility and Ease of Deployment SGI offers a suite of turnkey solutions, based on the f1200 product line, targeting the fields of Computational Structural Mechanics, Computational Fluid Dynamics, Computational Chemistry, Bio-Informatics, Mathematical Simulations and Oil & Gas. Applications can be pre-installed and optimally configured to provide the best possible performance, ease of deployment, exceptional TCO and higher productivity. The f1200 runs industry-standard Linux operating systems, including choice of Novell® SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server or Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® AS or WS. The f1200 system is provided with a highly-tuned Linux environment specifically designed to provide maximum performance for demanding compute- and data-intensive applications.
f1200 systems are backed by SGI's world-class customer support organization. In addition, SGI's Professional Services organization brings years of industry and technical expertise to help customers develop and deploy the optimal solution for their application, budget and timeline, including fully integrated turnkey solutions for leading commercial HPTC applications.
