AMAX Showcases New Line of Graphics Workstations and Render Farms at Siggraph 2008

Fremont, CA – August 11, 2008.  AMAX, the # 1 server and storage leader in the system builder channel in North America, will unveil a new series of graphics workstations and render farm solutions at the upcoming Siggraph 2008 exhibit (http://www.siggraph.org/s2008).

Siggraph 2008 is the world's premier marketplace for computer graphics and interactive techniques. It will be held from August 12 - 14 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

Some of the new and exciting products we will introduce at Siggraph 2008 include:

• Whisper quiet high performance graphics workstation optimized for digital content creation (DCC), computer-aided design (CAD), visualization and visual simulation applications, and delivering awesome processing power, unprecedented capabilities, ground breaking performance, power efficiency for compute and graphics intensive environments;
• High performance graphics rendering solutions, dramatically increasing design productivity by reducing project render times, and enable complex 3D design projects (animation frames or entire sequences) to be rendered in hours, not days. These graphics rendering solutions are also optimized for maximum graphics rendering performance, functionality, reliability, delivering maximum return of investment (ROI) & minimum total cost of ownership (TCO);
• Energy efficient ultra high capacity rack-optimized storage servers, providing scalable enterprise performance and unsurpassed dependability for midrange, high-capacity storage and I/O intensive storage applications such as media streaming, massive data warehousing, transactional databases, storage virtualization and data protection;
• Six-node, flexible server system with integrated storage, compute, and networking that enables enterprises to cost-effectively move beyond the limitations of direct-attached storage and take advantage of a high performance, flexible, scalable storage infrastructure;
• Nvidia Built For Professionals™ (BFP) certified graphics workstations, enabling customers to maximize their AutoCAD productivity, create and interact with complex product designs without sacrificing visual quality.
