Oct 6, 2020: Limulus V2 now has additional 3.5 inch drive bays. This change allows more spinning hard disk (HDD) storage for both NFS and HDFS (Hadoop Distributed Filesystem). The new Hadoop/Spark Data Analytics cluster (Model 452) supports up to 112 TBytes of raw HDFS storage using enterprise-level HDD drives .
May 29, 2020: One feature that was not mentioned in the previous announcement is the availability of 25 Gigabit Ethernet (25 GbE). The new 25 GbE option is available on base models 102, 202, 302, and 402 and comes standard on models 1202 and 1302.The price to upgrade is the same as the previous 10 GbE option. Benchmarks are forthcoming .
May 7, 2020: Limulus version 2 is here! This new series of machines delivers new features, lower prices, and more performance. The big news are the new micro ATX blades. All Limulus systems (desk-side and rack-mount) can now support almost any micro ATX based motherboard and processor (less than 80W TDP). In terms of processors, all systems now come with AMD Ryzen CPUs. This change brings two new features.
In terms of storage, we have increased our RAID storage options in both size (up to 54 TB of RAID6 on basic systems) and capability (systems now have six removable HDD bays). In terms of cost, all version 2 Limulus systems (with exception of a slight increase for the Hadoop model 1302) have a lower price AND more capabilities! Take a look at the new high-performance low-cost Limulus lineup.
Finally, we can optimize any system by component or geometry (with 3D printing). If you need specific hardware (i.e. Intel processors) please contact us directly.
Nov 17, 2019: Below are some pictures of the new low-cost Limulus V2.0 blades. These images below are prototypes, we will be posting updated images after SC19 in Denver. If you are attending the show, you can see the blades and how they fit into the LImulus case at Booth 996 (under Gidel on show map, look for Limulus Computing). We will also be showing our new Ryzen (Zen 2) nodes with ECC memory, headless booting, and lots of cores. We have also included some i7 nodes to show the "mix and match" capability of the new blades. Click for larger images. There is also a new master data sheet for all systems.
