NVIDIA QUADRO PLEX 2200 S4
ULTRA DENSE REMOTE
GRAPHICS SOLUTIONS
Whether searching for and extracting oil, designing and bringing the
next luxury vehicle to market, or providing a diagnosis of a patient’s
condition, professionals are faced with a mountain of data that needs
to be distilled into meaningful and actionable visualizations.
The size and complexity of data is growing at an
exponential rate. In an increasingly competitive
and high-pressure landscape they need to
deliver results better, faster, and more cost
effectively than ever before. These pressures
require the most advanced platform solutions.
The NVIDIA® Quadro® Plex 2200 S4 visual
computing system (VCS), a standard 1U
form factor integrating four ultra-high end
GPUs, delivers the industry’s most advanced
visualization platform for remote and distributed
graphics applications. Professionals ranging
from manufacturing designers and stylists to
earth scientists to digital content creators can
solve their most complex, graphics-intensive
problems using an unconstrained dedicated
visual computing system based on proven,
industry standard architectures.
As a multi-GPU visual computing system,
NVIDIA® Quadro® Plex 2200 S4 dedicated VCS
enables breakthrough performance for all
leading visualization applications. Architected
with four Quadro FX 5800 GPUs, featuring 16
GB of total GPU memory (4 GB/gpu) and 960
CUDA parallel processing cores, the Quadro
Plex 2200 S4 enables graphics-intensive, highdensity visual computing and scales to meet
the most demanding professional applications
requirements.

COMPUTING PROCESSOR
Unmatched graphics compute per cubic centimeter provides highest visual
compute density enabling breakthrough levels of capability and productivity.
Industry’s first unified architecture designed to dynamically allocate
compute, geometry, shading and pixel processing power to deliver optimized
GPU performance.
With low latency and high bandwidth, computing applications benefit from
the highest data transfer rate possible through standard PCI-Express x16
and x8 architecture.
Delivers high throughput for interactive visualization of large models and
high-performance for real time processing of large textures and frames and
enables the highest quality and resolution full-scene antialiasing (FSAA).
Industr y standard form factor optimized for large scale server deployments.
Four Quadro GPUs in a high density 1U chassis offer the highest performance
for remote graphics applications. Performance optimized and power optimized
products cover the range of IT server room requirements. System monitoring,
thermal control and fault notification in the 1U server product provide the
necessary features for efficient integration of the Quadro Plex 2200 S4 servers
into the data center.
A parallel computing processor architecture with 960 cores (240 /GPU) is
exposed through a C language environment and tool suite in combination with
high performance visualization, CUDA unleashes new capabilities to solve
highly complex challenges such as real-time ray tracing, video encoding, and
interactive volume rendering.
