Rackable Systems
From TechPubs Wiki
Rackable Systems, later known by Silicon Graphics International (Not to be confused with the original Silicon Graphics) was a company founded in 1999 in San Jose, CA. During SGI's bankruptcy, Rackable emerged as the victor and assumed the identity of the company soon after. As an x86-based server company, the company quickly winded down Itanium and MIPS system development, completing this around 2013. Most of its products were x86-based, NUMA enabled systems.
In 2016, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, a historical competitor to the original SGI, purchased Rackable Systems and all assets.
Operations after Acquiring SGI
After acquisition, Rackable used SGI branding, especially the "Altix" series for its x86-based systems. These systems were called Altix UV systems.
