The Silicon Graphics® Onyx4 UltimateVision family comes in three basic configurations--power, team, and extreme--and they are all compatible with today's suite of Onyx® applications. Each configuration provides fine-grain scalability so that you can create the perfect balance of computational, bandwidth, and rendering power to meet your requirements. And as your needs change, modules can be easily added to your existing system to provide you more visualization power in the future.
