AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 15 -- NextIO, the premier provider of next-generation I/O consolidation solutions, today announced a strategic distribution agreement with PNY, a designer, manufacturer and supplier of graphics cards and memory technology, wherein PNY will exclusively distribute NextIO's vCORE Express and vCORE Extreme products to resellers in Europe, Middle East and Africa. vCORE Express 2050, vCORE Express 2070 and vCORE Extreme products are available to order immediately.
"We are pleased to be selected as the exclusive distributor for NextIO's innovative GPU consolidation products for EMEA and to provide our reseller partners in those countries with GPU solutions that offer dense server clusters, easier lifecycle management, and a lower total cost of ownership"
Designed by NVIDIA and delivered by NextIO, the vCORE Express product line are entry-level solutions for consolidated GPU computing systems suitable for workstation, workgroup and small cluster computing applications requiring a small number of jobs and GPUs. With four massively parallel CUDA-enabled GPUs in a 1U system, vCORE Express brings economies of scale to GPU customers by delivering the same performance of a traditional CPU-based cluster -- all at 10 percent of the cost and five percent of the power consumption.
"We are pleased to be selected as the exclusive distributor for NextIO's innovative GPU consolidation products for EMEA and to provide our reseller partners in those countries with GPU solutions that offer dense server clusters, easier lifecycle management, and a lower total cost of ownership," said Laurent Chapoulaud, professional solutions marketing manager EMEA, PNY.
"With PNY's reputation of delivering a full spectrum of high-quality products that elevate the overall computing experience, the partnership was a natural choice for us," said Kerry Reid, vice president, worldwide channel sales and marketing, NextIO. "Our partnership with them will help bring our leading I/O consolidation GPU solutions to the EMEA market."
