Fremont, CA, June 3, 2002
- Tyan® Computer Corporation today officially unveiled their Thunder GC-HE, one of the industry's first
quad-processor system boards to support the Intel® Xeon™ processor MP. This powerful system board will provide Tyan customers with unprecedented performance, scalability and
reliability for their enterprise server offerings.
Tyan, a leading designer and developer of Internet infrastructure products, is among the first system board manufacturers to introduce a platform based on the
ServerWorks™ Grand Champion™ HE chipset. This advanced chipset provides outstanding performance for enterprise servers, capable of delivering up to 6.4 gigabytes per second of memory bandwidth, and up to 5
gigabytes per second of I/O throughput.
Supporting four Intel® Xeon™ processors MP, the Thunder GC-HE also features multiple independent PCI-X and PCI channels, and will
accept up to 24 gigabytes of DDR memory. The Thunder GC-HE also features an integrated VGA port, dual-channel Ultra160 SCSI and dual-channel LAN connectivity. This high level of integration allows OEMs and System
Integrators to utilize the high-speed PCI-X slots for maximum performance I/O devices such as Fibre Channel storage and Gigabit network controllers.
"Supporting four Intel® Xeon™ processors MP, multiple independent PCI-X buses, dual-channel SCSI, and dual-channel LAN, the Thunder GC-HE provides unprecedented levels of power and integration for the
enterprise server market" said Danny Hsu, Director of Marketing at Tyan. "Tyan is pleased to be one of the first to market with this high-performance, highly integrated server solution."
