Movidis announced a new server at LinuxWorld Conference and Expo last week in San Francisco that allows for high-performance storage, secure Web transactions, databases and applications.
The Revolution x16 Server eliminates the need for single function servers, thus saving customers time and money. To do this the Revolution x16 Server uses 16 OCTEON CN3860 cores. The OCTEON is a 64-bit MIPS processor from Cavium Networks that can execute about 20 billion instructions a second and run at 500 MHz to 600 MHz.
The Revolution x16 Server consumes just 50 watts per processor core and includes integrated accelerators that perform encryption, compression and TCP packet processing in hardware. Additionally the server ships with embedded Linux and Apache, MySQL and PHP, Perl and Python for Web and e-commerce servers. It also ships with PostgreSQL.
With the Revolution x16 Server, customers are able to dedicate processing cores to different applications, storage or Web serving.
The Revolution x16 is available in two models: a 1U high or 2U high model with four or eight Serial ATA or Serial Attached SCSI drives with a maximum capacity of 6TB. In addition, the Revolution x16 has as many as eight Gigabit Ethernet ports, up to 8GB of RAM and a 133 MHz, 64-bit PCI-X expansion slot.
Movidis was founded in 2001 and initially provided servers for video-on-demand. It evolved to a maker of general-purpose MIPS computers.
The servers start at $3,000.
