Welcome to the Ice Age
 
SGI® Altix® ICE is a next-generation platform that brings all the advantages of the company's expertise in high-performance computing (HPC) to a tightly integrated, cool-running blade solution. Designed by SGI to close the growing gap between performance and user productivity, SGI Altix ICE is a new line of bladed servers purpose-built to handle true HPC applications and large scale-out workloads.

The platform enables large scale-out environments while minimising their demands on a data centre's space and power. Its ultra-dense rack architecture delivers up to 40% more compute performance per floor tile than competing blades: a single rack can be powered by as many as 512 Intel® Xeon® processor cores and deliver 6 TFLOPS of performance.
