The 2U Twin is a superb new high density computing solution. Housing four discreet dual processor Xeon Nehalem systems in just 2U of rack space it provides way more computer power than anything we have offered before. The new Intel Nehalem quad core processor provides a big step up in performance over previous quad cores, just imagine what eight of them together can do!

Save on space - With up to 64* processing threads in just 2U it provides a very dense and easy to manage renderfarm in one box. With built in IPMI (Internet Protocol Management Interface) you can take full control of each system remotely - even when the system is powered down. No need for additional keyboards or KVM's.

Save on power and cooling - With 375 GFLOPS/kW it provides up to a 25% performance-per-watt net gain over other top tier 1U servers. In testing a typical system draws around 1kW of power under load for all four systems.

With support for RAID5 (up to 3 hard drives per system), optional redundant power supplies and even hot-swappable system nodes you can customise the level of redundancy and data protection for your needs.

*64 processing cores is achieved via Hyperthreading. Each of the four systems can house two physical processors with four cores,  totalling 8 physical cores per system. Hyperthreading uses virtual cores to double this number to 16.
4 systems x 16 cores = 64 processing cores.
