T-Edge

The T-Edge family of clusters is Russia's first cluster solution based on the Intel® EM64T architecture. T-Edge clusters consist of computational modules based on Intel® Xeon® 64-bit processors which are interconnected with a high-performance communication network.

Intel® Xeon® 64-bit processors ensure excellent system performance for both 32-bit and 64-bit applications and offer smooth transition to new computational algorithms.

The modular and flexible T-Edge system can be configured to ensure the best performance for the specified budget and future scalability. T-Edge cluster-based comprehensive high performance computational solutions, which are streamlined to ensure the best real performance for the customer's tasks, can be supplied with the full set of software for cluster management and application development, application suites and storage systems with various architecture.

T-Platforms has had the Intel Product Integrator status since 2003. Technological cooperation with the Intel Corporation helps the company to gain access to the most advanced technologies and implement them into the product line, ensure ideal compatibility of components in new solutions and offer customers reliable technical support.

T-Edge key features:

Flexibility

• any level of performance: 2 to 4000 computational nodes and even more
• any system network technologies, including Gigabit Ethernet, SCI, Myrinet, Quadrix and InfiniBand, and also PathScale InfiniPath with a record low latency
• choice of 1U-4U form factors to ensure the best price/performance ratio
• possibility of building computational nodes using its own hardware and also server platforms from the leading vendors, such as HP
• smooth transition to 64-bit calculations without loss of performance in 32-bit applications
• compatibility with main operational systems
• delivery of both standard and individual configurations for customers' tasks with pre-installed special and applied software

Scalability

• modular architecture based on Intel® Xeon® 64-bit processors ensures easy increase of system performance by means of adding computational nodes

Reliability

• high level of fault tolerance due to modular architecture
• its own design of computational nodes ensures the most effective system cooling and stable operation in a 30°C environment
• service network ServNET (RAS ISS, T-Platforms) ensures centralized cluster management and monitoring, smooth start and termination, lowers power loads and prevents component wearout
