Mustang-200: affordable, scalable adv. computing accelerator

[Our latest endeavor: Mustang-200]

Once installed in a PCIe x4 slot, the host computer will be connected to both computing nodes on the Mustang-200 with 10GbE networks. Every CPU is accompanied with 16GB (2x 8GB) RAM and an Intel® 600P series 512GB NVMe SSD. The computing nodes are powered by QTS-Lite, a lightweight version of QNAP's award-winning QTS operating system.

Back us now on Kickstarter! The Mustang-200 is a powerful computing accelerator with built-in processors and embedded QTS-Lite OS, so you can do and achieve more than you can imagine!

The Mustang-200 is now live on Kickstarter, so go check it out and support us before those deals are gone! Join us in shaping the future of high-performance computing!

is this good? anyone know.

is it just one way of sneaking a QTS onto a Desktop or something?

fog computing?

With robust computing capabilities and scalable characteristics, the Mustang-200 is perfectly suited for fog computing. With fog computing, you can pre-process data generated within your organization or across your devices on-premise, to filter out irrelevant information and only keep valuable insights, and then further utilize them by sending or uploading to cloud platforms. You can save a great deal of cloud platform and bandwidth fees as your data to be analyzed is filtered and only relevant data will be further dealt with.

No idea why QTS should be a great distributed/node computation OS, not that they have really had any public demos of that yet ?

Maybe they want to jump on the hyper convergence train ? (e.g. Nutanix)

on their kickstarter i saw a demo, you can manually add tasks.

one of which was a transcoding demonstration.

i'm just a regular user, so all i use is desktop/laptop/nas/smart phone.

NAS is already creeping onto server workstation territory, but at least i got a grasp on it, to maybe run it as a server in addition to storage. Like dockers and virtual machine seems to be a good use for added processing power. As well as plex transcoding.

but mustang not sure for me what i'd use that for seems like for enterprise sort of usage is my guess

nutanix?

So that hyper convergence stuff is adding compute and storage in "blades" into a pool ... in other virtualization models you have you Network storage (SAN or NAS) and then your computing clusters etc. in different hardware units

I was just thinking that because each of those mustang units has CPU and Storage (SSD) on board and they link via a virtual (?) 10GbE network (even thought they are plugged into a PCIe slot)

In my understanding it's identifying to the PCI host as a 10 GbE interface - and there is the computing system connected to. So it's a real 10 GbE interface, just no RJ45.
