SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- Penguin Computing Inc., the first company that is "Simplifying the Solution Process" by removing the complexity involved in developing and deploying fully customized, Linux-based solutions, today announced the first addition to its new line of AMD server products, the Altus 1240. The Altus 1240 incorporates dual Athlon MP(TM) processors, a 266 MHz front side bus, and provides up to 4 GB of DDR RAM and four hot-swappable SCSI drives. The Altus 1240 also includes an integrated dual port 10/100 NIC and allows for a single full-size PCI card. "Our recent partnership with Scyld Computing Corporation has confirmed our commitment to producing high-end clustering solutions," said Marty Seyer, chief executive officer for Penguin Computing. "Now, with the revolutionary Altus 1240, we are prepared to offer a unique platform for massive, clustered data-processing. Additionally, the Altus 1240 has been designed with significant, high-throughput storage, allowing it to excel in such non-clustered capacities as media streaming and online data-archiving." The Altus 1240 is available with a variety of support and professional service options, and with Penguin Computing's clustering solution, can be deployed en masse for environment-specific Beowulf clusters.
