How do the Silicon Graphics visual workstations help reduce total cost of ownership and improve manageability?
The Silicon Graphics visual workstations are designed to help minimize the total ownership and maintenance costs with low acquisition costs, greater productivity, built-in interoperability, and the ability to support a wide array of applications. In addition Silicon Graphics bundles Intel LANDesk® Client Manager with every system, providing a method of managing networked systems and asset management control. Question: Multi-processor capability – What applications will take advantage of the 4-processor-capable Silicon Graphics 540® visual workstation? Answer: The benefits of a multi-processor system can be best seen when running multithreaded applications. Silicon Graphics is working with a number of ISVs, including Kinnetics, Adobe and ANSYS, to take advantage of this unique capability. This will help us achieve higher levels of performance than other industry-standard-based platforms. There has also been a significant shift in the ISV community to start multithreading applications to
