HPE ProLiant WS460c Graphics Server Blade (G8) CTO

Meet user demands for high-performance graphics

The HP ProLiant WS460c Gen8 Graphics Server Blade now delivers even more performance with new Intel Xeon Processor E5-2600 v2 processors and 1866 MHz DDR3 memory. It is the industry’s first bladed technology to support up to eight GPUs per blade, lowering the cost per user while enabling remote users to easily complete large model visualizations.

New NVIDIA GRID K1 and K2 Boards

With this latest update, HP is expanding our comprehensive set of graphics offerings with NVIDIA GRID solutions that, for the first time, support hardware GPU virtualization and multiple GPUs on a single adapter card, providing an excellent end-user experience.

NVIDIA GRID GPU adaptors have an optimized multi-GPU design that helps to maximize user density. GRID K1 boards, which include four Kepler-based GPUs and 16 GB of memory, are designed to host the maximum number of concurrent users. GRID K2 boards, which include two higher end Kepler GPUs and 8 GB of memory, deliver maximum density for users of workstation-class graphics applications.

With GRID, users benefit from the best of both software virtualized and pass‑through GPU technologies, because the virtual machine (VM) shares the resource of a GPU, but has direct access to the dedicated resources of the GPU.
