[yellowdog-announce] Terra Soft Offers IBM BladeCenter JS21 Y-Bio Cluster: Announcement 5 Sep 2006

[Announce List for all Terra Soft products (moderated)]

Terra Soft Associates,

We are pleased to announce a new product offering, the 'Y-Bio JS21 Cluster'.

The Terra Soft Y-Bio gene sequence analysis suite offers a single, database 
driven interface to the most common gene sequence analysis programs: 
Probcons, T-Coffee, mpiBLAST, MrBayes, Modeltest, NCBI BLAST, EMBOSS, 
Glimmer, ClustalW, HMMER, Wise, and FastA.

The Y-Bio JS21 Cluster is comprised of Y-Bio pre-installed on each of 14 IBM 
JS21 blades in a single BladeCenter chassis. Each blade boasts four 2.5GHz 
cores for 56 cores in just 7U for a compelling 4x performance-density 
improvement over the former Apple G5 Xserve product line.

Tim Renner, lead developer of Y-Bio states, "The JS21 offering is impressive, 
a good match for life science researchers who desire the simplicity of a 
single box, interface, and access point, but the power of a much larger 
research cluster."

The default configuration of the Y-Bio JS21 Cluster includes:
 - Dual-core, dual-CPU 2.5GHz IBM 970s.
 - 4GB RAM per blade (1GB per core).
 - 73GB SATA drive per blade.
 - Y-HPC Cluster Construction Suite.
 - Y-Bio bioinformatics suite.
 - Yellow Dog Linux.

Configuration options include:
 - Separate head node and external switch.
 - Mobile, low profile cluster rack enclosure.
 - Gigabit ethernet, Myrinet, or Infiniband.
 - Up to 16 GB RAM per blade.
 - Up to 146GB internal storage per blade.
 - Moab Cluster Suite by Cluster Resources.
 - IBM XL compilers.
