Cubix: Xpander Rackmount 8, 4U Gen3

External PCIe slot expansion system for 19" rackmount cabinets (mobile carts or fixed cabinets)

Features

• Install blazing fast hardware acceleration within minutes
• Four PCIe Gen3 x16 expansion slots (x16 electrical) PLUS two PCIe Gen3 x8 (physical and electrical) expannsion slots nin each Xpander Elite Rackmount system
• Front panel LED status indicator
• Up to four dual-slot graphics cards such as NVIDIA® Quadro 5000 / 6000 / K5000 / K6000
• Up to four dual-slot GPU cards such as NVIDIA® Tesla C2075 / K20 / K40
• Add up to 2x NVIDIA DVP cards, RED Rocket cards, Blackmagic Design Decklink, ATTO HBA, Fusion-io and other 3rd party 4-ch / 8-ch PCIe cards
• An independent, 1500W power supply to meet any expansion requirement
• 4x variable speed, temperature-controlled exhaust fans
• Simple, quick installation with minimal impact per rack cabinet; just install a host adapter and a graphics driver
• Each x16 cable and connector provide a 250 mating cycle duty cycle

Benefits

• Hardware acceleration without purchasing a customized PC workstation or a new Mac Pro (2008+)
• Works with almost any standard PC and Apple Mac Pro featuring PCIe Gen2 / Gen 3 x8 or x16 open slot(s)
• Add multiple graphics or GPU cards to any computer regardless of power supply limitations
• Add multiple graphics or GPU cards without having to specify, purchase, install and configure new computers
• No power or cooling needed from the host computer; Xpander Elite provides its own power and cooling
• Whisper quiet operation minimizes sound baffling requirements on production sets
• Less impact on mobile 19" cabinets than a customized tower workstation
• Connect two or more GPU-Xpander units to one computer (using two or more PCIe x16 slots available in the host computer)

Description

The GPU-Xpander Rack Mount 8 Gen3 is a 4U, external PCI Express (PCIe) expansion chassis that can support 1-2 server connections with up to 8 discrete, passively cooled GPU cards per system. This enables massive parallel calculations separate from the server, greatly enhancing system reliability, performance and flexibility.

• Enhance server I/O infrastructure capabilities without adding servers
• Hardware-acceleration using NVIDIA graphics and GPU cards for faster VDI and thin-client multimedia performance
• Save space, weight and cost while increasing I/O card density

Features

• Install GPUs for blazing fast hardware acceleration purposes, as well as other types of 3rd party I/O controllers.
• Eight PCIe Gen 2 x16 expansion slots (all supporting both dual-slot and single-slot cards) per MIB (main interface board)
• Two MIBs per 5U, 19" rack mount system
• An independent power supply and cooling fan to meet almost any expansion requirement (per MIB)
• Simple, quick installation with minimal impact per rackmount computer; install a HIC and drivers for devices you install in GPU-Xpander
• Each x8 or x16 cable and connector provides a 250 mating cycle duty cycle

Benefits

• Add eight dual-slot GPUs for supporting up to four rackmount computers which have very limited slot expansion capabilities and limited power supply capacities
• Support up to two separate host PCs or Apple Mac Pro workstations with one Xpander Rackmount 8
• Add powerful GPUs like NVIDIA Quadro® 4000 / 5000 / 6000, Tesla® C2070 / K10 / K20 or GeForce® GTX 580 / 680 graphics cards

Don't let your rackmount computers' lack of 'watts and slots' hold you back. Get your graphics projects or HPC processing on with Xpander Rack Mount 8 for up to 8 dual-slot GPUs per host unit. It will give your studio, engineering firm, or IT Data Center the graphics acceleration and HPC performance it needs at a reasonable cost with little or no interruption to routine or workflow.
