NextIO Intros Nvidia Tesla Powered Desktop Virtualization System

NextIO, a company specialized in developing rack-level I/O virtualization solutions, has just announced the introduction of the vCORE Express 2075 GPU consolidation appliance based on the Nvidia Tesla M2075Q computing accelerators.

The new system is housed inside a 1U chassis and improves upon the specs of the previous vCORE Express 2070 by bringing a series of new features and tweaks.

According to the company, the list includes support for more detailed ECC reporting, better memory performance (anywhere from 5 to 20 percent increase in speed) when ECC is enabled, as well as improved energy efficiency which drops power consumption by 10 percent.

The new vCORE Express 2075 includes four Tesla M2075Q computing computing accelerators with 6GB of memory and 488 cores each in order to provide a whopping 24GB of total video RAM.

Thanks to this powerful configuration, the vCORE Express 2075 can drive up to 100 virtual desktops when combined with Microsoft's HyperV desktop virtualization infrastructure. The Express 2075 connects to its host system through a PCI Express x16 Gen 2 interface.

“NextIO is very excited to offer these new products to its resellers and customers,” said Brooks Ivey, VP of Business Development, NextIO. 

“We believe that the increased compute power in our newest vCORE products further improves the price-performance of GPUs over classical CPU implementations for HPC. 

“These products also demonstrate the inherent advantage of GPU consolidation appliances over the ‘GPU in server’ approach by allowing existing compute clusters to leverage the latest technology offering without performing forklift upgrades or opening up servers to install the latest GPUs.”

The vCORE Express 2075 is now generally available and currently shipping to NextIO customers worldwide. Pricing is available upon request.

Together with the release of the Express 2075, NextIO also announced that its vCORE Extreme computing system can now be configured with the Nvidia Tegra M2090 GPU.
