Quad (4) / Eight (8) Way Opteron Workstations - Graphics, Scientific & High Performance Workstations

Broadberry AMD Quad / Eight Way Opteron graphics workstations utilise the AMD Opteron dual & quad core processors, to give the best possible performance for high end graphics, scientific, visualization & 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.

An uniquely designed 4 Processor and 8 Processor high-end server/workstation that outputs 4 to 8 Dual-Core or Quad-Core AMD Opteron’s processing power and up to 128GB of DDR2 DIMM memory capacity. The Broadberry CyberStation features three (3) Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports, five (5) expansion slots, and eight (8) hot-swap capable SATA2 HDD bays. The convertible 5U Rackmount or tower chassis is supported by either 1140W (2+1) or 1620W (3+1) redundant power supply unit. It’s an universal rack-mount and pedestal solution that provides superb performance for greater server needs.

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.

Windows XP Pro 64bit and Vista Business 64bit will see up to Thirty Two (32) Processors in Windows Device Manager, and System Ram upto 128Gb. This is the most Powerful Desktop Computer Workstation on the Market today, 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.

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.

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.
