The word ’snazzy’ comes to mind when reading about the release of Verari’s 8-Way AMD Opteron Server. Plenty of horsepower to keep things moving, I wonder how this stacks up to the competition.

Well, then again, that might be comparing applies to oranges. Trying to compare this to other options would be unfair unless there was something specific in mind that the server was going to be used for.

San Diego-based Verari Systems launched a new system based on AMD’s 8-Way Opteron processor today. The new Octet 8-Way AMD Opteron Processor-Based SMP Server supports up to eight AMD Opteron 800 Series processors, 64GB of memory, and eight SATA hard drives. The company is targeting high performance applications such as electronic design automation (EDA) with the server. Verari focused on developing high performance rackmount and blade server systems.
