The Lightbeam E5-16200 and E5-820 workstations provide Intel Xeon processor E5 2600 series Romley CPUs offering up to 768 GB of RAM and PCI Express 3.0 architecture, up to dual eight-core Intel Xeon processor E5 2600 series CPUs with up to 32 logical cores, and NVIDIA Quadro 6000 professional graphics with the Scalable Geometry Engine. They support for up to four double-wide graphics cards or GPUs.

The Lightbeam Systems E5-6450R and E5-4850R 2U quad render nodes have four independent nodes with up to 16 physical cores and 32 logical cores, and up to 256 GB RAM per node using the Intel Xeon processor E5 2500 series. They hold up to 64 physical cores, 128 logical cores, and up to 1024 GB of total memory in a 2U form factor with four independent hot-swap nodes and redundant power supplies. The nodes include 1620W redundant platinum level hot-swap power supplies for a 3240 watts total, and a built-in server management tool with dedicated LAN port.

The Lightbeam Systems E5-16200GPU and E5-12200GPU quad GPU systems, developed for dedicated GPU processing include four complete NVIDIA Tesla GPUs in a single node, up to dual eight-core Intel Xeon processor E5 2600 series CPUs with up to 32 logical cores, up to 2048 available CUDA cores and up to 2660 gigaflops of double-precision GPU performance. They have 1800W redundant Platinum Level power supplies for a 3600W total, and also include a built-in server management tool with dedicated LAN port. www.lightbeamsystems.com
