Amulet Hotkey announced key additions to the CoreStation
workstation family based on the Dell EMC PowerEdge FX2, M-series and Dell
Precision platforms.
Amulet Hotkey's CoreStation solutions help speed the design, visualization
and simulation of anything from animation and movies to cars, airplanes and
financial trading models. They allow valuable IP to be moved into the data
center to boost productivity, security and availability. Professionals can
connect to graphics-intensive applications anytime, and from anywhere using
Amulet Hotkey zero clients or mobile devices.
The CoreStation WFC640 blade workstation incorporates unique PCIe expansion
modules and GPU cards to create a powerful platform to handle a broad range of
tough workloads. Developed in collaboration with Dell EMC and NVIDIA product
engineering teams, the Amulet Hotkey DXF-EXP-W modules can support up to eight
NVIDIA Quadro professional GPUs within the FX2s chassis while maintaining the
benefits of the FX2 architecture. The WFC640 delivers class-leading density and
efficiency by fitting up to four multi-GPU and dual-socket workstations in an
industry standard 2U rackmount form factor.
The DXM-P5000 mezzanine card for the CoreStation WM640 uses the NVIDIA
Quadro P5000 GPU for a 2x increase in GPU memory and 1.5x increase
in GPU performance while delivering scalability and efficiency.
This enables new applications and workloads for blade workstations that were
not previously possible.
The CoreStation WR3930 1U rack workstation is optimized for single threaded
application performance at affordable price points. Intel Xeon E-2100 or 8th
generation Core i7, i5, i3 processors deliver clock speeds up to 3.8 GHz /
4.7GHz turbo. Amulet Hotkey DXP4 PCIe cards enable unique multi-monitor options
with multi-GPU and remote display protocol acceleration. When using Intel
integrated graphics or full-size graphics cards, the Amulet Hotkey low-profile
DXH4 PCIe card provides secure remote access for up to four monitors. With a
combination of NVIDIA Quadro P6000 graphics cards and Intel Core i7-8700K
processors, the Dell Precision 3930 rack is the world's fastest workstation.
"The need to deliver scalable and secure infrastructure with
exceptional performance for demanding professionals is significant," said
Tony Hilliard, global sales director, Amulet Hotkey Inc. "Our new
CoreStation solutions combine powerful GPUs, flexible platform options and class-leading
density to address this and help companies focus on innovation to gain a
competitive edge."
"The NVIDIA Quadro P5000 redefines the graphics and compute performance
of blade workstations with breakthrough capabilities for workflows infused with
artificial intelligence and photorealism," said Bob Pette, vice president,
professional visualization, NVIDIA. "Customers that need creative freedom
while working with large datasets and complex models can turn to high-density
workstations integrating NVIDIA Quadro GPUs and Amulet Hotkey technology."
"Today workforce transformation is being driven by need for increased
productivity while optimizing graphic-intensive applications and customers are
looking for solutions that drive performance and efficiency while delivering
maximum return on investment," said Ron Pugh, vice President and general
manager for the Americas, Dell EMC OEM Solutions. "We are excited to work
with Amulet Hotkey on innovative solutions for our customers to increase
productivity, creativity and accelerate growth."
