AIC to Debut Gemini Server Platform at NAB.Unprecedented Price-Performance Server Platform Delivers Automated Energy-Efficiency and Intelligent Performance from Post-Productions to Content Distributions CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif. -- Advanced Industrial Computer (AIC AIC Association des Infermières Canadiennes. ), an industry leading provider of OEM/ODM server and storage platforms, announced today the debut of Gemini Server and Storage platforms at National Associations of Broadcasters Show (NAB). The Gemini platform shatters the limitation of data bandwidth faced by the electronic media industry today, and enables compelling visual computing The use of computers for 3D modeling and animation. See visualization. , video streaming See streaming video and video stream. and data transfer rate from post-productions to content distributions. AIC's Gemini platform with dual Intel 5520 chipsets improves bandwidth capabilities and gives users free access to 72 lanes of PCI Express A high-speed peripheral interconnect from Intel introduced in 2002. Note that although sometimes abbreviated "PCX," PCI Express is not the same as "PCI-X" (see PCI-SIG and PCI-X for comparison). As a result of the confusion, "PCI-E" or "PCIe" is the accepted abbreviation. (68 Gen2 PCI Express). It supports two(2) dual/quad-core Intel[R] Xeon[R] processor 5500 series, revolutionary DDR (Double Data Rate) Refers to an SDRAM memory chip that increases performance by doubling the effective data rate of the frontside bus. For more details, see SDRAM. DDR - Double Data Rate Random Access Memory 3 technology, and AIC-patented MAX I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output [TM] technology featuring user-definable I/O specifications. With energy-optimizing features such as Automated Low-Power States (which automatically puts the processor, memory and I/O controller into the lowest available power states) and Intel[R] Turbo Boost Technology (which enables CPUs to run at higher-than-stated frequency when operating below power and thermal design points), AIC Gemini Series Server and Storage Bare-Bones System delivers an unprecedented combination of speed, power savings and deployment flexibility. The live demonstration of Gemini series server platform integrates real-time visual computing applications, retrieves data from AIC's ultra-density 4U 48-bay SAS/SATA JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks) A group of hard disks in a computer that are not set up as any type of RAID configuration. They are just a bunch of disks. JBOD - Just a Bunch Of Disks subsystem, showcasing unprecedented data throughput faster than conventional server and storage platforms available today. This live-demonstration features technologies and innovations from AIC ecosystem partners, such as Dataram, Fujitsu, and LSI LSI: see integrated circuit. (Large Scale Integration) Between 3,000 and 100,000 transistors on a chip. See SSI, MSI, VLSI and ULSI. . "By implementing Intel[R]'s most advanced designs to date in processors and chipsets with AIC-patented MAX I/O([TM]) technology, AIC Gemini platform delivers amazing performance and capability to maximize all available data bandwidth," said Sherman Tang, Vice President of AIC-Platform Solution Group (PSG PSG, n polysomnograph; polygraph performed during sleep. Physiological variables such as pulse, blood pressure, and respiration are monitored and charted. ). "It enables post production professionals and content providers to increase work efficiency, reduce production cost and provides unmatched business capabilities." "Dataram is proud to be a partner with AIC, providing a variety of memory solutions to customers in the electronic media industry," stated Paul Henke, Director of Technology.
