vCORE Express: for GPU cluster and GPU supercomputing requirements

vCORE Express 2070Q

The World's first GPU compute system for virtual desktop applications

v-core express

The vCORE Express 2070Q GPU compute system is designed to work hand in hand with your Microsoft® desktop virtualization strategy to deliver a full rich media desktop experience without a penalty on CPU performance. When combined with Microsoft Hyper-V® desktop virtualization environment, your VDI experience can now expanded into the true desktop experience demanded by users.

Microsoft RemoteFX® enables a superior rich media experience for Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) never before possible in a virtualized environment.

Clients that have traditionally been used in standard VDI situations can now immediately take advantage of a much richer experience. From Silverlight® and Flash videos to the full Windows Aero® look and feel, RemoteFX® with Quadro™ graphics enables a true hardware-accelerated graphics experience.

  • Rich Media Desktop Experience
  • More peripheral support - including USB support for the most common devices
  • Reduces CPU load
  • Extends the life of VDI deployments

Fast I/O Performance in a 1U GPU Chassis

The NextIO vCORE™ Express line of GPU computing solutions deliver "must have" features for the technical and enterprise workgroup computing space. Compared to typical multi-core CPUs, vCORE Express delivers equivalent performance at 1/10th the cost and 1/20th the power consumption.

Designed with the NVIDIA® 20-Series Tesla™ GPU's in a 1U GPU chassis, the NextIO vCORE™ Express scales to solve the world's most important computing challenges more quickly and accurately. vCORE Express is built upon the same design as the NVIDIA Tesla 1U products and incorporates the latest NVIDIA® Tesla™ M2070, or M2090 series GPU's.

vCORE Express is a powerful I/O performance solution for consolidated GPU computing systems suitable for all levels of HPC computing from workstation to workgroup to small flexible cluster computing to large scale fixed configuration.

The NextIO vCORE™ Express enables customers to run GPU's outside of their servers providing more dense server configurations, easier lifecycle management and a lower overall cost of ownership.

  • Dense Server Clusters: By removing GPU's from servers and extending connectivity from servers to GPU's over high speed PCI Express, smaller and more dense server clusters can be realized in the data center. A 1U vCORE Express system provides each server with 4 Fermi-based GPU's in a 1U GPU chassis.
  • Easier Lifecycle Management: GPU's and Servers each have different lifecycles, but when a GPU is located inside a server their lifecycles are merged. Whenever a server or GPU is upgraded, the server must be brought down, opened, and the GPU replaced. In most cases the server is also upgraded at the same time whether its at the end of its lifecycle or not. vCORE Express separates the GPU from the server and allows each to be managed separately while minimizing downtime.
  • Lower Total Cost of Ownership: Compared to multi-core CPU clusters, vCORE Express is at least 1/10th the cost - factoring in the number of servers and infrastructure for equivalent performance to GPU computing systems. When compared to servers with embedded GPU's, the savings associated with lifecycle management will often justify the price of a vCORE system.
