The first two systems released under the ThinkTank Q-Station X-Way Series are the ThinkTank Q-Station X2+2 and the ThinkTank Q-Station X4. The X2+2 features two AMD Opteron 200 Series Processors, 2 Infiniband interconnects integrated on an I will motherboard and supports up to 16GB of memory (8GB per processor).

The ThinkTank Q-Station X4 merges the power of 4 AMD Opteron 800 Series processors in a single, cool-running 1U, well within the lab and "real world" thermal specifications. Each X4 supports up to 32GB of CPU CPU

While the X2+2 ships with 2 Infiniband connectors, and the X4 supports Infiniband connector upgrades, both systems support separate, dedicated memory slots for the Mellanox MT23108A1-LBC InfiniHost memory slots. The systems feature dual Intel 82546DB Gig-E slots and IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) A protocol for monitoring server hardware for temperature, voltage, chassis intrusion, etc. Introduced in 1998 by Intel, HP, NEC and Dell, IPMI defines a standard set of messages for the characteristics of hardware  slots for hardware/software based network monitoring The term network monitoring describes the use of a system that constantly monitors a computer network for slow or failing systems and that notifies the network administrator in case of outages via email, pager or other alarms. .

"The [ThinkTank] Q-Station X-Ways series puts us at the cutting edge, and not the 'bleeding-edge of IT budgets'. We're still in the process of finalizing pricing, but it's well within the budget of most hpc [high performance computing] enterprise customers. Our [ThinkTank Q-Station] X-Ways systems are among the most powerful, commercially proven technologies--and packing them in incredibly compact spaces--which is perfect for a lot of our customers that have to squeeze huge computing resources into spaces the size of sardine sardine: see herring.
