NextIO to Provide GPU Consolidation Products Based on NVIDIA Tesla

By DE Editors

NextIO has announced the vCORE Express product line. vCORE Express is a 1U expansion system that supports the NVIDIA Tesla M2070 GPUs.

“vCORE Express is a compatible upgrade to current Tesla S-Class systems,” says Andy Keane, general manager of the Tesla business, NVIDIA. “NextIO’s new systems provide a modular system architecture for centers deploying Fermi-architecture GPUs with 6GB of dedicated compute memory per GPU.”

vCORE Express enhances NextIO’s GPU consolidation product portfolio by introducing a solution for workstation and small cluster compute applications. Ideally suited for customers with a low number of job counts, low to medium GPU counts, or a combination of both, vCORE Express enables enterprise customers to deploy and seamlessly manage a consolidated GPU solution in a rack environment.

vCORE Express is designed especially for parallel computing applications using NVIDIA Tesla 20-Series GPUs in cluster and datacenter deployments. With four massively parallel CUDA-enabled GPUs in a 1U system, vCORE Express brings economies of scale to GPU customers by delivering the same performance of a traditional CPU-based cluster—all at 10% of the cost and five percent of the power consumption,  according to the company.

NextIO vCORE Express also introduces several features that enable new applications to perform faster using GPU computing, including:

• Ray tracing
• 3D cloud computing
• Video encoding
• Database search
• Data analytics
• Computer-aided engineering
• Virus scanning
