Themis Computer RES-32DCO Server

Introduction

Themis' new RES-32DCO, a 3 Rack Unit (3U) Dual Processor socket server, combines the robust design of it's Rugged Enterprise Server (RES) family with the latest, fastest multiple core 64-bit processing power. The rugged RES-32DCO reflects Themis' extensive expertise designing high performance systems for use in demanding environments. This new system combines the newest AMD Dual and Quad Core Opteron architecture, and the latest nVidia chipset with Themis' advanced thermal and mechanical design techniques. The RES-32DCO achieves I/O configuration flexibility and provides high reliability in shock and vibration environments of up to 25G.

The RES-32DCO can be configured with one or two AMD Dual or Quad Core Opteron processors running at up to 2.8GHz. Featuring multiple expansion slots, extensive high speed I/O, and multiple storage options the RES-32DCO allows users versatile configurability and system expansion. The RES-32DCO is easily expanded through the addition of commercially available, off the shelf networking cards, I/O, peripherals and other value-added options to meet current and future system requirements.

AMD Dual/Quad Core Opteron & nVidia Server Chipset For Extensive I/O & Unmatched 64 bit Performance

The RES-32DCO's fast AMD Dual-Core Opteron processor provides innovative technologies such as AMD's exclusive Direct Connect Architecture, Hyper Transport™ technology, Simultaneous 32 and 64-bit computing, and AMD PowerNow!™ technology. The RES- 32DCO offers outstanding system compute and I/O performance, dependability, and value. It's expansion versatility provides ample headroom for integration with current and future server platforms.

The new nVidia MCP55-Pro, IO55, and NEC 720400 chipset represents the latest in server architecture, providing the highest possible performance and scalability by using Hyper Transport Technology. The MCP55-Pro is the central hub for all data passing through the core system elements; including the two Multiple-Core Opteron processors, delivering high bandwidth across a 1000MHz Hyper Transport bus. The IO55 is a dedicated I/O processor, and the NEC 720400 is a PCI-Express to PCI-X bridge.
