ATOS :bullion, high-end x86 server from Bull, beats worldwide records
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Offering customers worldwide exceptional performance
suited for the most critical applications
Paris, 21 January 2016 - The bullion servers from Bull, the Atos brand for
technology products and software, beat yet again performance records, according
to the international benchmark from Standard Performance Evaluation Cooperative
(SPEC)*. Performed with a 16-socket configuration, this benchmark demonstrates
that the high-end enterprise bullion x86 servers perform at exceptional levels
and are the most powerful in the world in terms of speed and memory.
Used by over 100 million end-users worldwide
Bullion is widely deployed in many businesses and governments, mainly in Europe,
Africa and Brazil. Atos recently signed a six-year contract with Siemens,
Europe's largest engineering company, to provide a platform running in the cloud
and built on the SAP HANA® platform for data services to meet Siemens' growing
business demands. The platform - based on bullion, the enterprise high-end x86
server from Bull - will be deployed on a worldwide basis to support more than
100,000 Siemens personnel across the whole Siemens Group. Another customer is
one of the largest telecommunication companies in South America who acts in an
extremely dynamic and aggressive market that chose bullion servers for their
billing services. This operator realized a significant power increase, a top
notch quality of service level and 30% energy savings.
Features bullion x86 offers:
· An exceptional memory capacity, up to 24 TB (terabytes), to address big data
applications, in-memory and real time, for example with the SAP HANA® appliance
· TCO reduction (Total Cost of Ownership) of virtualization clusters
· Virtualization of critical applications.
· Technological alternative at a lower cost software for Sparc and HP-UX
systems.
" This recognition is paramount to Atos strategic commitment to develop -
through its Bull brand - innovative systems for high performance computing to
process large volumes of data - exactly what is needed to overcome the
challenges of the 21st century. Bullion is the most powerful server in the world
and thus a real pride for the Group. Bull's technological expertise in the field
of infrastructure is again welcomed. The power demonstrated by bullion, coupled
with its exceptional memory capacity, makes it the benchmark of servers chosen
for its memory capacity and supports our ambition to become a world leader in
Big Data, "said Arnaud Bertrand, Group SVP, Head of Big Data & HPC at Atos.
Bull sets high standard
Bull is building a reputation for its innovative products that beat records.
Sequana X1000, its range of exascale-class supercomputers, the forerunners of
the generation offer a thousand times more performance than current petaflops-
scale systems. This compute performance is necessary to increase the quality and
speed of digital simulations for both research and industry, so as to be in a
position to tackle the 21st century socio-economic challenges.
Latest generation bullion server, bullion S, equipped with 288 cores on 16
Intel® Xeon® processor E7 v3 and 4TB of RAM, achieved a peak performance of
11600 - 11100 Base - according to SPECInt_rate2006 benchmark. This new
performance is proof of the relevance of technological choices for the range of
bullion servers, a modular and consistent range, from 2-16 sockets.

*Designed to provide performance measurements that can be used to compare
compute-intensive workloads on different computer systems, SPEC CPU2006 contains
two benchmark suites: CINT2006 for measuring and comparing compute-intensive
integer performance, and CFP2006 for measuring and comparing compute-intensive
floating point performance.

About SPEC
The System Performance Evaluation Cooperative, now named the Standard
Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC), was founded in 1988 by a small number
of workstation vendors who realized that the marketplace was in desperate need
of realistic, standardized performance tests. The key realization was that an
ounce of honest data was worth more than a pound of marketing hype. SPEC has
grown to become one of the more successful performance standardization bodies
with more than 60 member companies. SPEC publishes several hundred different
performance results each quarter spanning a variety of system performance
disciplines.
