MP processors in a single rack

As an AMD Athlon(TM) MP 2100+ processor launch partner, Angstrom Microsystems is announcing the Quad2100, the world's first quad AMD Athlon(TM) MP processor 2100+ 1U rackserver.

Known for its quality, engineering and breadth of deployment services, Angstrom is pushing the rackmount server envelope by packing 4 CPUs in a 1U system. Using two dual AMD-based motherboards, the Quad2100 doubles the density of current 1U solutions and is denser than competing blade solutions. Easily upgradeable, the Quad2100 product line is built for compute-intensive applications, including rendering, streaming, and scientific computing.

"Angstrom's success in the entertainment industry is one example of how its focus on quality combines with AMD's high-performance, reliable processors to deliver what end-users need to run leading applications such as those for digital content creation," said Ben Williams, director of Server and Workstation Marketing at AMD. "With the Quad2100, Angstrom has designed one of the densest 1U systems available using AMD's latest processor technology."

"Our rendering and scientific computing customers demand superior performance at a competitive price," said Lalit Jain, CEO of Angstrom Microsystems. "Angstrom's respect for quality combined with innovative cooling technology has attracted high-profile clients to this new product."
