Baselight is available in several different configurations. At its most basic is the Baselight ONE System. This system in a single stand-alone workstation with powerful CPUs, GPUs, and some fast internal storage. The next step up in complexity is the Baselight TWO system. This configuration has a processing node that typically lives in the data center and a lightweight host UI system that drives the Baselight graphical interface. These two computers are connected using a private 1 GbE network managed by the Baselight system. The compute node in the data center has multiple GPU and CPU resources to do the heavyweight Baselight processing tasks, while the host UI system is small (and quiet).
The most complex Baselight system is Baselight X. Baselight X is similar to Baselight TWO but provides double the processing power and internal storage resources for the most demanding workflows. When Baselight TWO or Baselight X is used with external storage (PowerScale), both the processing nodes and the host UI node need access to that storage. The UI host only needs 1 GbE access to the external storage, whereas the processing nodes ideally use 100 GbE connections.
