Two months after Rackable Systems closed the deal to buy the old SGI, officials with the new SGI are touting a product road map that shows a future not only for Rackable servers, but also for the legacy SGI hardware. SGI officials also are saying both Rackable hardware and legacy SGI hardware are attractive to the HPC space. However, the next-generation high-end Altix system, code-named Ultraviolet, will be powered not by Itanium processors but by Intel’s upcoming processors code-named Nehalem EX.
– When Rackable Systems closed its $42.5 million acquisition of Silicon
Graphics Inc. in May, officials touted the new company as one that could play a
significant role not only in the data center, but also in the supercomputing
space.
Two months later, officials with the new SGI now
Silicon Grap…
