Posted: 27 July 2003
New system incorporates high-bandwidth architecture and
quad-processing to provide the most powerful desktop solution
Silicon Graphics Inc (SGI), the world leader in high-performance
computing, visualisation and management of complex data, announced
the launch of the Silicon Graphics TezroT visual workstation, a
powerhouse system that sets a new bar for desktop performance and
reliability for visualisation, multiprocessing and digital media.
The Tezro incorporates High-Bandwidth Architecture and Quad-Processing
with superior graphics quality and professional digital media solutions
to help organisations achieve cutting-edge results in ever-shorter
production cycles.
“Growing businesses in the Middle East need to constantly
maximise and upgrade their output within minimal time frames. Silicon
Graphics Tezro is designed for creative and technical users who
continuously seek higher application performance and more advanced
levels of capability on the desktop. It is a cutting-edge visualisation
tool that enables customers to improve workflow and achieve super
efficient production cycles, all at an extremely competitive price,”
said Gilbert Soufan, Country Manager Middle East, SGI.
The introduction of Tezro emphasises SGI’s commitment to
its five core markets; manufacturing, life sciences, government
and defense, energy and media.
Equipped with SGI VPro V12 graphics and unparalleled RGBA (red,
green, blue, alpha) fidelity, Tezro provides high-speed, high-quality
graphics that are supported by the IRIX operating system and SGI
application program interfaces.
VPro delivers unique capabilities for realism and accuracy for
3D lighting and is designed to facilitate workflow with large textures.
Silicon Graphics Tezro can also display large data sets at high
resolution and can support four simultaneous, synchronized displays
for help in data analysis and problem solving.
Tezro is available at a breakthrough entry price point for a system
of this calibre. It is priced 20 per cent lower than the highly
acclaimed Silicon Graphics Octane2 system for an overall three times
price performance improvement.
For users, this means significantly higher value and higher performance
with compute-intensive applications, advanced interactivity for
high-resolution image manipulation, real-time visualization of large
data sets and industry-leading input/output connectivity for flexibility
with storage and peripheral options.
