Fast
on the heels of last month's launch by Dell of their 13th generation
M-series blade servers, Amulet Hotkey is proud to announce availability
of a compatible range of PCoIP and VDI workstation products that bring
unparalleled density and graphics performance to this tier 1, energy
efficient blade form factor.
The latest additions to our DXM series of PCoIP Blade Workstations - the DXM630 and the DXM-A.
"The DXM Series is now used by thousands of professionals for mission
critical applications around the world," commented Keith Grundon,
Technical Director with Amulet Hotkey. "This latest addition to the
range is the most powerful yet, bringing high performance graphics or
PCoIP Hardware Accelerator capabilities to a blade platform." DXM630 Launch options include NVIDIA's K5100M and AMD's S4000X GPU's.
Announced
today, the product family includes options for powerful 3D application
performance with AMD and NVIDIA GPU variants combined with PCoIP Remote
Workstation technology (DXM630), bringing server class reliability and
performance to enterprise, defence and engineering markets. For
virtualised environments, the DXM-A
variant provides PCoIP hardware offload processing power to
significantly improve the frames per second delivered to the end point
while ensuring a consistent user experience at all times.
Based
on the Dell "customer inspired, future ready technology" M630 and
supporting up to two, state-of-the art Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3
processors, the DXM630
is one of the most powerful dedicated PCoIP Blade Workstations
available. It delivers a true 64bit workstation OS on server-grade
hardware with as many as 36 cores. Capable of supporting 768GB of DDR4
memory and integrated solid state drives, up to 16 of these high-end
workstation blades can be installed in only 10U of rack space. Multiple
layers of redundancy for power, cooling and communications in the blade
enclosure (the Dell PowerEdge M1000e) ensure maximum performance,
availability and ease of maintenance. "Dell OEM Solutions has been
working with Amulet Hotkey for a number of years, helping to build their
solutions on standard Dell platforms delivering stability and
performance for their customers. We are delighted Amulet Hotkey has
chosen the Dell PowerEdge 13th generation M630 blade server as a
platform for their new range of PCoIP and VDI workstation solutions,
providing powerful high performance graphics and remote workstation
technology to enterprise, defence and engineering markets. We are proud
to provide the latest Dell technology solutions for today's remote
workers, in a secure environment, also helping to reduce energy
consumption." Dermot O'Connell, executive director and general manager,
OEM Solutions at Dell.
Amulet
Hotkey designs and manufactures innovative solutions for the financial
services, defence and commercial sectors. The company has a long
standing partnership with Teradici,
the technology leader for creating virtual workspaces. Teradici PCoIP
technology is a key ingredient of Amulet Hotkey's portfolio of remote
blade workstations, including zero client devices, remote workstation
cards, and PCoIP hardware accelerator.
Integrating PCoIP into the DXM630
allows the entire desktop infrastructure to be located and controlled
from a data centre environment. This innovation delivers all the
functionality to the actual desk location via private or public network
and a stateless PCoIP zero client capable of supporting 4 or even 8
video monitors. The PCoIP protocol compresses and encrypts the entire
computing experience securely in the data centre and transmits it as
‘pixels only' over a standard IP network to compatible PCoIP end points
for an uncompromised, high-fidelity remote workstation experience, while
increasing collaboration, productivity and security.
"With
today's news, Amulet Hotkey is expanding its portfolio to meet the
industry's most stringent performance requirements for today's
graphic-intensive use cases," said Olivier Favre, director of product
management at Teradici. "We're delighted with the company's continued
commitment to delivering maximum value to a growing base of customers
with the introduction of best-in-class products that fully exploit the
benefits of PCoIP technology, such as the
DXM630 Blade Workstation and
DXM-A PCoIP Hardware Accelerator for virtualized workstations in VDI deployments."
