SGI Altix 350

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The SGI Altix 350 was a server made by Silicon Graphics, Inc., and introduced in 2005. It ran Linux, rather than SGI's own Unix variant, IRIX.

The Altix 350 was scalable from one to thirty-two 64-bit Intel Itanium processors. It featured DDR SDRAM and PCI-X expansion ports, and could support SCSI or SATA internal hard drives. Designed as a rack-mount server, the Altix 350 was 2U, meaning it occupied two slots vertically in a standard server rack.

As of December 2006, the Altix 350 has been superseded by the Altix 450 (based on the Itanium 2) and the Altix XE (based on Xeon core 2.)
