SUSE® LINUX Enterprise Server 10 for x86 with XEN Service Pack 4 for SUSE® SLES 10

Product Description
The PRIMERGY CX2570 M2 is a compact server node enabling high computing density with two independent servers in 2U. It is ideal for ambitious high performance computing, analytics and visualization solutions. Two server nodes can be embedded in the PRIMERGY CX400 M1 enclosure, only using 2U height in conventional standard datacenter racks. The PRIMERGY CX2570 M2 combines high-end computational and graphics performance with high energy efficiency. Each half-wide server node with Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2600 v4 product family CPUs and 16 DDR4 memory DIMMs, features up to two optional NVIDIA® GPGPU or Intel® Xeon Phi™ co-processor cards, enabling a performance boost in supported applications.
