Cray CX1 System

The award-winning Cray CX1 high productivity system empowers leadership in a variety of fields including financial services, oil and gas exploration, computer-aided engineering (CAE) and visualization applications. The Cray CX1 is easy to configure, deploy, administer and, most importantly, use. Equipped with powerful Intel Xeon processors and Windows HPC Server 2008 R2, the Cray CX1 offers performance leadership across a broad range of applications and standard benchmarks. The Cray CX1 also supports Linux and virtualized environments to support the broadest library of applications possible.

Affordably priced, the Cray CX1 is the "right size" in performance, functionality and cost for a wide range of users, from the single user using a personal supercomputer to a department of users accessing shared clustered resources. For organizations wanting to harness HPC without the complexity of traditional clusters, the Cray CX1 delivers the power of a high performance cluster with the ease-of-use and seamless integration of a workstation.

The Cray CX1 can help improve the productivity of all users whether developers, system administrators or most importantly end users. Using industry standard hardware and software from leading providers such as Intel and Microsoft, the Cray CX1 is configured and optimized for High Performance Computing (HPC).

For application developers the Cray CX1 provides a faster testing response and reduces overall time to market. System administrators faced with space or network support constraints can now install a fully functioning Windows Server based HPC system anywhere in the organization as easily as adding a workstation. End Users will see tremendous benefits from ease of use, Windows Server accessibility and, most importantly, immediate access and response time.

The Cray CX1 system was the recipient of the 2009 HPCwire Editors' Choice Award for Best HPC Cluster Solution or Technology.
