Server-on-a-chip is ready to deploy

Acal BFi recently completed the first European demonstration of AppliedMicro’s X-Gene™ ARM® v8-64 bit processor (the Mustang demonstration server) at Datacentre World and through their partners are now able to prove the technology with production-scale proof of concept data-centre designs for high-density, low power server blade platforms incorporating X-Gene™.

This is a breakthrough technology that holds the promise of rewriting the rules of server power consumption; disrupting the economics of the datacentre as we currently know them and rapid deployment has been achieved through the X-C1 Development kit, which is available from Acal BFi who offer design-in and logistics support.

The X-C1 development kit builds on Applied Micro’s pioneering efforts in the development of X-Gene™, the world’s first enterprise-grade 64-bit Server-on-a-Chip™ silicon. The X-Gene™ Server-on-a-Chip™ platform represents a completely new, ground-up server processor architecture tailored for high density, high performance computing, the emerging growth of cloud computing and next-generation datacentres. Featuring custom high-performance ARM®v8 cores, the device is the first to couple an advanced 64-bit ARM® architecture with unique network and storage offload engines, as well as integrated Ethernet.
