HPC Solution Building Block featuring
the new Intel® Xeon® Processor
5600 Series
| Appro GreenBlade™
System is a modular, affordable,
energy-efficient cluster building
block solution for small to
mid-size HPC deployments.
The GreenBlade system is
a great alternative to 1U
servers for customers looking
to consolidate server, storage,
network, power and simplified
management capabilities
while providing performance,
reliability, density and
upgradeability. It offers
modular value-add features
with flexible configuration
options allowing companies
to grow at their own pace
and with a much lower TCO.
New!
Configurations are complemented
with storage
blade expansion options
delivering up to 2TB of
additional storage per node
or GPU
expansion blades offering
customers affordable mix
and match compute and storage
blade options in a single
solution building block.

The GreenBlade System features
up to four high-efficiency power
supplies with two subrack configuration
options:
5000
Series Subrack -
up to 10 blade servers offering
a total of 20 processors with
120 processing cores in a 5U form
factor.
8000
Series Subrack -
up to 16 blade servers offering
a total of 32 processors with
up to 192 processing cores in
an 8U form factor.
GreenBlade features hot-swappable
and redundant cooling fans, power
supplies and blade nodes. Its
unique blade system design boasts
20% power consumption reduction
per node compared to 1U servers,
significantly reducing energy
bills in the datacenter.
With the new Intel® Xeon®
processor 5600 series and certified
Intel Cluster Ready, GreenBlade
boosts performance optimization
by increasing system bandwidth
and improving network traffic
processing with 8MB shared L3
cache while reducing I/O latency
with outstanding power management
features. It features two processors
with 4 to 6 cores per GreenBlade
server delivering choices in energy
footprints to match memory and
compute intensive workloads and
power requirements.
GreenBlade System offers intelligent
power control and integrated IPMI
2.0 or Appro BladeDome remote
server management. For customers
that require a more complete management
solution, Appro offers a choice
of open source software such as
ROCKS+ and MOAB Cluster Management
Suite from ClusterCorp. In addition,
Appro offers high-speed interconnect
options and a choice of Linux
or Windows® operating systems.
