SiCortex, the emerging leader in compact, low power Linux(R)
clusters, today announced that it has named Fabrizio Magugliani as
Director, European Market Development. Dr. Magugliani will ramp up
SiCortex´s sales and marketing efforts in Europe.
Dr. Magugliani joins SiCortex from a position as project manager
at Italy-based grid solutions provider NICE Srl. Prior to joining NICE
he was Director of Technical Marketing, EMEA Operations for Linux
Networx, following a 10-year stint in a variety of technical and
marketing positions at SGI. He has a strong track record of
significantly increasing revenues and growing strong field and sales
organizations.
"Since our introduction to the European market we have seen
increased interest and a growing sales pipeline," said SiCortex CEO
Dr. John Mucci. "Fabrizio´s extensive experience and knowledge of the
market, coupled with his outstanding technical expertise, will prove
to be a valuable asset for SiCortex, our VARS and our end users."
"SiCortex´s combination of high productivity, very low power and
small footprint make it particularly well-suited for the European
market," Fabrizio said. "I believe there is tremendous potential to
have a significant impact in the entire region."
SiCortex has introduced a new concept in high performance
computing, reducing power consumption and physical size to gain
performance. The company has implemented a complete multicore cluster
node on a chip, including six 64-bit processors, multiple memory
controllers, a high performance cluster interconnect and a PCIexpress
connection to storage and internetworking. A SiCortex multicore node
consumes 15 watts of power, an order of magnitude less than the 250
watts used in a conventional cluster node. SiCortex´s product line
ranges from the SC072 deskside supercomputer to the SC5832, which can
perform six trillion operations per second in a cabinet that is less
than one-third the size of conventional clusters.
