IBM extended NeXtScale System Server storage node

Although the current demand for high-density servers is lower than that of other types of servers, IBM is bullish on future high-density server markets. In October this year, IBM launched the new high-density server NeXtScale System, the December IBM is expected to NeXtScale System with 3.5-inch hard disk expansion storage node, the future will also launch a larger capacity of storage expansion nodes. In addition, IBM also subscribes to http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/33721.html ">2014 the second quarter of the year, the introduction of PCIe expansion node, can be used to install Nvidia GPU graphics card, To improve the operational efficiency of the NX360 M4 computing server.

The NeXtScale system server integrates operational nodes, storage nodes, and GPU modules into a single cabinet, and can hold 12 operation nodes in the 6U height fuselage. The NeXtScale system chassis is designed for front maintenance with 6 900 watt power supplies, support for n+n or n backups, and 10 sets of supported hot-swappable fans. However, the NeXtScale system does not have built-in network modules. The first NeXtScale system model is NeXtScale nx360 m4,1u Gao Huanquan size, with two Intel Xeon e5-2600 v2 processors, which can be installed with 1 3.5-inch, 2 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives, or 4 1.8-inch solid-state drives, up to 4TB a single maximum capacity.
