Need to add graphics computing units (GPUs) for graphical rendering or high-performance computing (HPC) projects? Need to add FireWire, USB or other adapters to your operators' desktop computers? Don't have enough expansion slots in your current desktop computers to add NVIDIA's Compute Unified Device Architecture- (CUDA) capable GPUs for number crunching or rendering? Don't have sufficient cooling capacity or a hefty enough power supply to add high-end graphics, HPC capability or other adapters to your organization's computers? Many host computers lack the 'watts and slots' to allow expansion. Cubix GPU-Xpander Desktop 4 is just the ticket.
Add four NVIDIA® Quadro® FX 1800 / 3800 /4800 /5800, GeForce® GTX 465 / 470 / 480, Tesla C1060 / C2050 / C2070 graphics or other controllers to any computer that has an available PCIe x16 expansion slot using GPU-Xpander. Install the host adapter in the computer's PCIe x16 slot, connect it to the GPU-Xpander Desktop 4 and voila! You have just added four powerful GPUs for graphics or HPC without buying a new computer.
Save Time and Money
Just because you need to add or upgrade to high-end GPUs for rendering or HPC processing in operators' desktop computers doesn't mean you have to go to all the weeks of effort and meetings to obtain approval and all the considerable expense, not to mention all the work of installing and configuring new computers. Use GPU-Xpander instead. Rather than starting from scratch, keep your substantial investment in your current computer hardware and simply add or upgrade to the most powerful graphics controllers or HPC processor cards on the market -- at considerably less than the cost of replacing computer hardware.
Install the host adapter in each computer, connect it to GPU-Xpander and within minutes, your operators are back to work. The operators have the same operating system configuration, the same desktop, the familiar applications and multi-monitor screens but now they also have the fastest GPUs for HPC and rendering available. Screaming-fast rendering, HPC or FireWire at a reasonable price and with only minutes of effort per operator desktop -- what an investment!
Minimal Impact on Operators' Desktop Space and Desktop Configuration
Your operators are busy, and they have neither the time nor the inclination to learn how to use efficiently a new computer, a new operating system, a new desktop screen configuration, or for that matter, a new use of desktop space. They want to keep working -- without interruption or changes to their routines. With GPU-Xpander 4, make it happen.
Boost Graphics or Computational Performance
Give your operators the graphical rendering or HPC power they demand with Cubix GPU-Xpander 4. When your operators return for their next shift, they'll find their desktop space unchanged, their desktop screen configuration the same as usual, but what a difference in performance! With as many as four GPUs for rendering 3D graphics or mathematical calculations in their system, their applications and renderings will leave their expectations in the dust with fast, eye-popping performance. For example, you can upgrade to or add four NVIDIA® Quadro® FX 4000, 5000 or 6000 graphics controllers, four GeForce® Fermi GTX 580 or four NVIDIA® Tesla® 2050 / 2070 GPUs for each operator, giving them the performance they demand without the usual interruption that a new system causes.
Features
- Install GPUs for blazing fast graphics or calculations within minutes
- Four PCIe Gen 2 x16 expansion slots (x16 electrical) in each GPU-Xpander Desktop 4
- An independent power supply and cooling fan to meet any expansion requirement
- Simple, quick installation with minimal impact per operator desktop; install a host adapter and drivers
- Each x16 cable and connector provide a 250 mating cycle duty cycle
Benefits
- Add four double-wide GPUs to a computer that does not have available slots and power
- Add four GPUs without having to specify, purchase, install and configure new computers
- Add powerful GPUs like NVIDIA® Quadro® 4000 / 5000 / 6000, Tesla® C2050 / C2070 or GeForce® GTX 470 / 480 / 580
- Zero or minimal impact on operators' desktop screen configuration
- Minimal impact on operators' desktop space
- Connect two GPU-Xpander 4 units to one computer (using two available PCIe x16 slots in the host computer)
Don't let your computer's lack of 'watts and slots' hold you back. Get your graphics or HPC processing on with GPU-Xpander Desktop 4 for each operator's desktop. It will give your operators the graphics or HPC performance they demand at a reasonable cost with little or no interruption to routine or workflow.
