Please let me know: ************ Sun Microsystems^TM Announces the Discovery Cluster for the Life Sciences Exceptional Price/Performance in a Pre-Assembled Rack Sun Microsystems announces the “Discovery Cluster for the Life Sciences”. The Discovery Cluster is a pre-assembled, base-level configuration of a Sun Grid Rack System (SGRS) with components selected especially for the Life Science HPC market. The Discovery Cluster is Sun's solution approach to the compute needs for the drug discovery process. It is based on the Sun Fire^TM X2100 64-bit x64 server, powered by the AMD Opteron^TM dual core processor. The X2100 delivers up to one-and-a-half times the performance, and uses about one-third of the power of competing systems, yet costs a fraction of their price. Bioinformatics and molecular modeling benchmarks confirm the exceptional price/performance advantages of the Sun Fire X2100 over Intel Xeon based clusters. These highly reliable and energy efficient X2100 servers are also the fastest enterprise x64 servers in their class. At under $94,000 (US list price) per fully populated, pre-assembled rack, the Discovery Cluster provides 1 TeraFlop of theoretical peak performances in three racks for under $282,000. In addition, the power, cooling and management requirements are substantially less than Intel Xeon based clusters. The Discovery Cluster comes pre-assembled, with hardware, cabling, Solaris^TM 10 and Sun Grid Engine. Multiple operating systems (Solaris 10 x64, Linux (Red Hat, Suse), and Windows) are supported. Many alternative configurations are available, and Sun's solution partners provide a range of software options. For more information, listen to a NetTalk webinar on the Sun Discovery Cluster for Life Sciences, featuring the designer of the Sun Fire “Galaxy” series servers, Andy Bechtolsheim, Sun Chief Architect and Senior Vice President, Network Systems.
