8TB Into Eurocom Panther 5 Mobile Workstation

Eurocom Corporation has expanded the storage capacity and custom options of the Panther line of Mobile Supercomputer Workstations with the addition of high storage density HDD drive for mobile products.

The 8TB of RAID-0/1/5/10 total storage can be accomplished with four 2TB Samsung Spinpoint M9T HDDs.

Packing three 667GB platters inside its 9.5 million chassis, the Spinpoint M9T is a thin 2TB drive.

“Eurocom understands that modern professionals are requiring larger and larger storage capacity, running heavy duty applications such as Autodesk and Solidworks, that is why we are now offering the 2TB Samsung Spinpoint M9T to our clients, on top of high performance, high endurance enterprise solid state storage options, such as Intel DC S3500 and DC S3700. At the same time there is a requirement for redundancy and performance so we offer through RAID-0/1/5/10 support,” said Mark Bialic, Eurocom president.

The Panther 5 Mobile Workstation and the 3D enabled Panther 5D mobile supercomputers are built to offer performance, long lifespan and upgradeability of the processor, memory, storage, OS and VGA technology, and are designed with innovative technology and components, from workstation class desktop Xeon processors, RAID support to dual GPU capabilities and up to four SODIMM modules for 32GB memory.

Eurocom developed the Panther 5 to be a mobile powerhouse for simulation, ray trace rendering, mobile analytics, CAD, CAE and so much more, while being a long term, stable system. In recognition of this innovation the Panther 5 was awarded the Intel Solutions Summit Form Factor Solution Innovation award for packing the performance capabilities of a datacenter server into a portable form factor, complete with workstations tools such as keyboard and monitor.

“We consider ourselves one of the most innovative North American companies as we dedicate ourselves to offering our customers, all over the world, the most advanced and capable, custom computer hardware on earth,” added Bialic.

Combined with Xeon processors, up to Intel Xeon E5-2697 v2, with 12 cores, 24 threads, 30MB of L3 cache, running at 2.7GHz and 8TB of 6Gb SATA storage will offer customers super computing capabilities on the go.

Supporting powerful mobile professional graphics solutions including the NVIDIA Quadro K5100M, K41000M, K3100M, K2100M and K1100M in the Panther 5 ensures they are able to run the most demanding engineering and design software with ease, while on the go.

Spinpoint M9T 2TB drive ships with 32MB DRAM cache, low acoustics and power requirements, which offers performance, energy efficient operation for longer battery life in the Panther 5 Mobile Workstation. The M9T combines high areal density in a single storage device allowing it to fit into a 9.5 million chassis and the Panther 5.
