  A1204: 1U Two Socket AMD Opteron™ Based HPC Systems Server  
 

"Valued Performance"

The HPC A1204 is an entry-level high performance workhorse for space constrained, high density environments. This AMD Opteron based platform is an ideal choice for high density compute farms, email, application servers and directory services.

A1204 provides the best performance at a very affordable price with the combination on the latest IO, network, memory, and power efficient technologies. A1204 features the latest Opteron microprocessors from AMD with DirectConnect technology, DDR2 memory, PCI-Express and SAS/SCSI storage. It makes an ideal platform for a compute clusters, storage clusters, or stand-alone applications like anti-virus, database, media servers, and email.
