The new products available on the Indian market include blade systems T-Blade 1.1 and T-Blade 2.0, PeakCell S server based on 9-core PowerXCell processors, and ClusterX software for high-performance computing systems.

The systems of T-Blade family were developed by T-Platforms specifically for high-performance computing. They are used as computing nodes of Russia's 2nd most powerful supercomputer and can boast a highest computing density in the world. T-Blade 1.1 system chassis incorporates the computing power of 20 quad-core Intel® Xeon® 55хх ('Nehalem') processors or six-core AMD Opteron 24xx ('Istanbul') processors in a compact 5U enclosure, to give up to 9.98 TFlops of peak performance in a standard 42U rack. T-Blade 2.0 is the 2nd generation of T-Platforms blade platforms designed for building compute systems with Petascale level of performance. T-Blade 2.0 provides peak performance of up to 3TFlops in a 7U enclosure and up to 18TFlops in a standard 42U rack.

PeakCell S is a server based on PowerXCell 8i 9-core processor. The server has an impressive peak performance of 204.8 GFlops for double precision operations and 409.6 GFlops for single precision operations, packed in а convenient 1U form factor. PeakCell Server is an ideal platform for solving the most challenging tasks in molecular dynamics, computational chemistry, seismic exploration, medical imaging and security provisioning.

Clustrx is software stack for high-performance computing developed as the ultimate middleware between a supercomputer platform and an end-user application. Most of Clustrx has been programmed from scratch to eliminate critical limitations of legacy management and monitoring systems (such Nagios, Ganglia,Torque, etc), and to create a simple yet reliable environment for supercomputer access. Strong emphasis was made on improved utilization of computing power and better manageability of supercomputing systems of different sizes, from 'personal clusters' to Petascale systems.
