On March 27, 2014, Dawning Company and AMD jointly held the joint press conference of the latest blade server products featuring "balanced density and outstanding performance". Based on AMD's latest Opteron 6338P The dawn of the 6370P processor blade server TC3600 debut.
The new generation TC3600 incorporates many advanced design concepts and technical features and inherits the unique advantages of Shuguang Blade's "density balance and extraordinary performance" to meet the core business needs of key users in such industries as the government, telecommunications, finance, education and the Internet . During the conference, the two vendors fully demonstrated the direction and results of strategic cooperation and discussed in-depth discussions on such hot topics as the application of new business models such as server technology evolution, cloud computing and big data.

Dawn Liu, general manager of dawn product center, said the TC3600 is the dawn of the blade server's star product, this upgrade update uses the latest design concepts, conform to the cloud computing and big data technology trends, the upgraded TC3600 will be the greatest embodiment User value.
Fu Xuehua, Senior Manager of Dawning's Products Department, said: "Dawning has a solid strategic partnership with AMD. Through product and technology innovation, both parties hope to offer end users a range of new energy-saving server options to reduce their overall total Cost of Ownership With dramatic increases in performance with the AMD 6338P and 6370P processors, the TC3600 will continue to deliver high-density, low-power optimization for more complex, business-critical applications such as highly virtualized workloads, tailored to the user's needs Highly reliable operating platform and convenient management platform. "
Fu Xuehua also said that the TC3600 features high performance, high speed, high performance, high density and high management. TC3600 application scenarios are mainly large data center applications, high performance computing HPC and business-critical markets. For the dawn of this year will be based on the introduction of 64-bit ARM processor-based server products, Fu said that the introduction of a product should see the degree of technology and market acceptance. The dawn of high-density server technology is not a problem, so based on the ARM architecture server is introduced depends on market developments.

For many of the key applications taken by the cloud and big data platforms, a large number of low-cost servers are needed to meet the needs of green, low-carbon applications. However, the traditional rack-mounted server has a limited density, which causes a great waste of space and can not meet the deep requirements of cloud computing and virtualization. The global quarterly server tracking report released by IDC shows that shipments in the global server market decreased by 4.4% in the fourth quarter of 2013 over a year earlier. However, as the main carrier in the process of enterprise consolidation and virtualization, blade server revenue increased by 2.8% over the same period of last year. This further shows that in the public cloud VLSI and private cloud integration system, blade servers are still important business-critical carrier, the cost advantage has been effectively and widely recognized.
In his keynote address, AMD said the AMD 6338P and 6370P processors are an upgrade to the AMD Opteron 6300 Series, with lower cost and lower power consumption, and a significant reduction in enterprise TCO help. The new AMD Opteron 6300 Series processors deliver the perfect balance of performance, power, and cost for lower TCO and virtual machine costs.
Leung Long-wai, senior manager at AMD, said: "Virtualized environments enable more efficient server utilization, but servers are also increasingly constrained by memory bandwidth and I / O bandwidth." Opteron 6338P and 6370P Processors Server CPU has been optimized to deliver higher watts of performance per watt for virtualized private cloud deployments with lower power consumption and lower cost.The Shuguang Company pioneered the use of these two CPU products in the industry to provide users Data analytics, xSQL and traditional databases to deliver cost-effective, innovative application platforms. "
As the world's first blade server system to meet the open standards of the SSI (Server System Infrastructure) and China's HPCSC standard, the openness of the TC3600 offers multiple benefits to users, including easier selection of components and modules from multiple vendors , Protect investment and reduce TCO. The TC3600 also offers powerful flexible networking and IO scalability, including 40Gb Infiniband QDR networks, 1Gb Ethernet networks and 4Gb / 8Gb FC networks. In addition, the TC3600 features a fully modular redundancy design that enables enterprise-class RAS features to meet the needs of critical applications.
