Enabling Power Users. Delivering ROI and Room to Grow. Transforming Team Productivity. Tackling Extreme Problems
The Silicon Graphics Prism® family comes in three basic configurations power, team, and extreme. 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. |

Delivering ROI and Room to Grow
The Silicon Graphics Prism power configuration is ideally designed for small teams. Whether supporting a number of concurrent users or dedicated to a single large problem, the power configuration offers high return on investment by enabling the ability to blaze through the most demanding data sets. Delivering 20M pixels of highly interactive graphics, Silicon Graphics Prism has enough power to interactively drive two ultrahigh-resolution 10M pixel LCD displays and offers the ability to scale visualization, compute, and memory to larger configurations as your organization grows. |

Transforming Team Productivity
Today's workflow, data sets, and distributed teams provide tremendous challenges to all organizations. The Silicon Graphics
Prism team configuration brings the performance, power, and production capability of large-scale SGI® Reality Center®
facilities to small team rooms. Team productivity is transformed by the ability to load data sets at multi-gigabytes-per-second
rates, interact with 32GB of data in memory, and scale graphics capability seamlessly, all in a deskside form factor. |

Tackling Extreme Problems
The Silicon Graphics Prism extreme configuration is designed to enable leaders in their fields to understand the world's most demanding problems. Breakthroughs and discoveries are possible with Silicon Graphics Prism system's ability to rapidly digest and visualize multi-terabyte data sets, transforming insurmountable problems into powerful assets. Imagine groundbreaking insights that can come from driving holographic displays and interactively roaming through terascale computational data sets.
