ION Computer Systems® Introduces Their High Performance V55 Workstation

April 21, 2009 - PRLog -- Hauppauge, New York - ION Computer Systems, Inc. today released their V55 workstation. The V55 workstation is based on the Intel® S5520SC workstation motherboard supporting two Intel® 5500-series Xeon® processors formerly known as Nehalem and up to 96GB of fast DDR3 memory.  With two top-speed Intel Xeon W5580 processors and  two PCI Express 2.0 x16 slots, the V55 workstation will energize the most demanding high performance graphics-intensive applications including CAD, CAM, industrial design, AEC, DCC, Web design, oil and gas exploration, financial services, EDA and CAE.

“The V55 fills the needs of those who require the highest graphics and processor performance available. The V55 will support two high-end PCI Express 2.0x16 graphics engines giving performance that could never be achieved in earlier graphics workstations and the flexible chassis design supports a myriad of customizable configuration,” states Paul Scheremeta, Vice President of marking of ION Computer Systems, Inc.

ION Vice President of Engineering Keith Josephson adds “Delivering the combination of memory I/O bandwidth of the Intel Quick Path Interconnect and the processing performance of Intel Turbo Boost Technology, the V55 workstation opens an entirely new realm of affordable performance for technical and artistic workstation users.”
