(ICS) is a computer software company headquartered in Bedford, MA. They provide Graphic User Interface (GUI) development tools and professional services for UNIX and Linux platforms.  for mission-critical applications, today announced availability of its iHawk(TM) Series 880 multiprocessing systems featuring Intel(R) Xeon(TM) blade technology.

Series 880 blades provide highly scalable, flexible and cost-effective configurations for applications requiring a large number of processors in a small space. Concurrent iHawk blades are an excellent choice for distributed data acquisition or simulation. Once a solution is developed using a blade platform, additional processing power can be added to meet future requirements without major re-engineering.

Each ultra-slim iHawk processor blade is itself a two or four-CPU Xeon SMP (Symmetric MultiProcessing) A multiprocessing architecture in which multiple CPUs, residing in one cabinet, share the same memory. SMP systems provide scalability. As business increases, additional CPUs can be added to absorb the increased transaction volume.  system running Concurrent's RedHawk(TM) Linux(R) operating system.

Series 880 blades are fully supported by RedHawk Linux and Concurrent's NightStar(TM) tool set. Processor blades can also be interconnected using fabrics such as InfiniBand or Myrinet for high-speed, low-latency inter-blade communication. Fabric interfaces and supporting cluster protocol software will be supported in an upcoming release of RedHawk Linux.
