iXsystems is proud to introduce the latest offering in our iX-Neutron line, the iX-22X4: Gemini2

Features

Check out the features!

The Gemini2's system architecture achieves breakthrough x86 server performance-per-watt (375 GFLOPS/kW) to further satisfy the ever-increasing efficiency, density and low-TCO demands of today's high performance computing (HPC) clusters and data centers. The Gemini2's motherboard is VMWare® Ready certified, making it perfect for flexible virtualization.

Four hot-pluggable systems (nodes) in a 2U form factor. Each node supports the following

  • 3 x 3.5" SAS/SATA Hot-swappable Drive Bays
  • Dual Intel® 64-Bit Socket 1366 Six-Core, Quad-Core or Dual-Core, 5600/5500 Series Xeon® Processors
  • Intel 5500 Chipset with QuickPath Interconnect (QPI)
  • Up to 192GB DDR3 1333/1066/800 SDRAM ECC Registered Memory
  • 1 (x16) PCI-E ( Low Profile)
  • Intel 82576 Dual Port Gigabit Ethernet Controller
  • Matrox G200eW 8 MB DDR2 Memory Video
  • Integrated Remote Management - IPMI 2.0 + IP-KVM with dedicated LAN
  • All four nodes share a Redundant 1200W High-efficiency Power Supply with PMBus (Gold Level 92%+)
  • Quick Release Rackmount Rail Set included

 

VMWare Certified

Benefits

From the front, the Gemini2 looks like a standard 2U server. Within the interior, however, 4 highly efficient, extremely powerful RAID 5 capable servers hide. Each node supports the latest Intel Six-Core, Quad-Core, or Dual-Core 5600/5500 series processors, up to 192GB of DDR3 memory and three 3.5” hot-swappable hard drives.

  • Maximize your processing requirements with eight Six-Core, Quad-Core, or Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processors (2 Processors per node)
  • Get faster performance with the power of next-generation Intel microarchitecture, which automatically increases processor frequency and utilizes hyper-threading when needed.
  • Reduce energy use with Intel Intelligent Power Technology, which puts CPU and memory into an optimal power state while still delivering the performance you need.
  • Virtualize different generations of Intel Xeon processors within the same pool to deliver increased performance and flexibility during high-use periods and impressive energy savings during low-use periods.
