AMD Dual Opteron Workstations - Graphics Workstations, High End Workstations

Dual Opteron Graphics and High Performance Workstations

Broadberry AMD Dual Opteron graphics workstations utilise the AMD Opteron dual and quad core processors, to give the best possible performance for high end graphics, DTP, CAD/CAM/CAE & other high end workstation applications.

Our Customers include BBC, ITV, GMTV, Tesco, Sony, Toshiba, 3D Labs, Creative Labs, Toyota, Walt Disney, Lockhead Martin, US Army, US Navy, US Air Force, British Ministry of Defence, plus many more.

All of our Graphics Workstations incorporate the NVIDIA Quadro FX550, FX560, FX1500, FX3500, FX4500 or FX5500 graphics cards. The NVIDIA Quadro FX family delivers the fastest application performance and the highest quality workstation graphics. But raw performance and quality are only the beginning. NVIDIA Quadro FX takes the leading computer aided design (CAD) and digital content creation (DCC) applications to a new level of interactivity by enabling unprecedented capabilities in programmability and precision. For the first time, styling and production rendering become integral functions of the design workflow, shortening the production process and enabling faster time to market.

With the power of NVIDIA SLI technology and the latest generation of AMD Opteron processors, you get the ability to connect two NVIDIA Quadro SLI-Ready PCI Express graphics cards for one intense Workstation experience. NVIDIA SLI Scalable Link Interface takes advantage of the increased bandwidth of the PCI Express bus architecture and features intelligent hardware and software that allows two GPUs to efficiently work together to deliver exceptional, scalable performance.

The AMD Opteron dual or quad core processors has two or four full processing cores each with it’s own set of registers and cache. AMD Opteron dual and quad core processing brings more resources to bear on computing tasks making your applications perform like never before and is fully compatible with all Multithreaded Windows Applications including Autodesk (Autocad, 3D Studio Max, Auto Sketch, Viz and Revit), Newteh (Lightwave 3D, Lightwave Rendition, 3D Arsenal, SpeedEDIT, TriCaster and VT), and other high performance computing applications.

Application platforms that use the Dual-Core and Quad Core AMD Opteron Processor Workstations can realize significantly improved performance of business critical enterprise applications such as SAP and other Database applications. AMD Opteron processors have several technology advantages that can help improve the performance of your application. AMD64 with Direct Connect Architecture and HyperTransport technology helps eliminate the bottlenecks inherent in traditional front-side bus-based systems by directly connecting processors, memory, and I/O devices to each core. By directly connecting these key system components, an AMD Opteron-based Workstation can move data more efficiently throughout the system.

Performance, reliability and expandability have been integral in the design of our AMD Opteron Workstations, with a system board that features the latest chipsets, PCI Express graphics, Gigabit Ethernet Networking, USB 2.0 and IEEE 1394a support. This chassis can also be rackmounted with the 19” rackmount kit.
