SGI Virtu is a computer product line from Silicon Graphics dedicated to visualization, announced in April 2008.[1] It represents a return of Silicon Graphics to the visualization market after several years of focus on high-performance computing.
SGI Virtu workstations effectively replaced the SGI Fuel, SGI Tezro and SGI Prism workstations that were discontinued in 2006.
The Virtu range consists of a rack-mounted server configuration (Virtu VN200) and four workstation configurations (Virtu VS series). The latter are re-badged systems from BOXX Technologies, based on Intel Xeon or AMD Opteron processors and Nvidia Quadro graphics chipsets, running Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server or Windows Compute Cluster Server.[2]
