SiCortex Names Fabrizio Magugliani to Head European Market Development
Maynard, Mass., April 15, 2008 -- SiCortex, the emerging leader in compact, low power Linux® clusters, today announced that it has named Fabrizio Magugliani as Director, European Market Development. Dr. Magugliani will ramp up SiCortex’s sales and marketing efforts in Europe.
Dr. Magugliani joins SiCortex from a position as project manager at Italy-based grid solutions provider NICE Srl. Prior to joining NICE he was Director of Technical Marketing, EMEA Operations for Linux Networx, following a 10-year stint in a variety of technical and marketing positions at SGI. He has a strong track record of significantly increasing revenues and growing strong field and sales organizations.
"Since our introduction to the European market we have seen increased interest and a growing sales pipeline,” said SiCortex CEO Dr. John Mucci. “Fabrizio’s extensive experience and knowledge of the market, coupled with his outstanding technical expertise, will prove to be a valuable asset for SiCortex, our VARS and our end users.”
"SiCortex’s combination of high productivity, very low power and small footprint make it particularly well-suited for the European market,” Fabrizio said. “I believe there is tremendous potential to have a significant impact in the entire region.”
SiCortex has introduced a new concept in high performance computing, reducing power consumption and physical size to gain performance. The company has implemented a complete multicore cluster node on a chip, including six 64-bit processors, multiple memory controllers, a high performance cluster interconnect and a PCIexpress connection to storage and internetworking. A SiCortex multicore node consumes 15 watts of power, an order of magnitude less than the 250 watts used in a conventional cluster node. SiCortex’s product line ranges from the SC072 deskside supercomputer to the SC5832, which can perform six trillion operations per second in a cabinet that is less than one-third the size of conventional clusters.
