Digital server:2013 Year January server industry digital release

"Tenkine Server channel Digital Server"-"Witness Miracles with Numbers"

Concise, net monthly and related to digital industry information, to give you the digital World visual Shock, January 2013 digital release time!

23.8 billion

"Digital Information" IDC published a report predicting that the global data technology and server market composite annual growth rate will reach 31.7%, 2016-year revenue will reach 23.8 billion U.S. dollars.

"Digital thinking" from large data to seize business opportunities have surpassed IT industry, radiation to all walks of life. Despite the lack of more application cases, the author is still optimistic about large data prospects. At the beginning of 2012, the total revenue of large data-related software, hardware and services was only about 5 billion dollars. As more industries pay more attention to it, and more big data professionals are pouring in, it is possible to achieve a four-year five times-fold growth in the big data market. 23.8 billion is a predictable number.

"Digital information" at the beginning of the new Year, the tide launched large mainframe shuttle K1 system. China has become the third country in the world to master the new generation of mainframe technology.

"Tide Shuttle K1 System"

"Digital Thinking" with "1" beginning, the story seems to be not small. In the key application technology has been foreign control for many years, the state important confidential information facing the "bare" passive environment, the shuttle K1 system listed, in fact, is welcome to congratulate, is the country's key applications, including government, finance, national defense, telecommunications and other fields in the implementation of the technology can be controlled by the

In the hardware aspect of Shuttle K1 system, the paper completes the technology of multi-plane and NUMA-coupled shared memory architecture, and develops a processor cooperative chipset which supports two level directory cache consistency protocol. In the software aspect, it is the development completes with the hardware matching K-unix operating system, becomes our country first through the open Group UNIX03 authentication operating system. Overall, the shuttle K1 in the hardware and software erection is more reasonable.

However, this is only a start in the application of large mainframe, not too optimistic. The key application host area needs to complete a benign ecosystem construction, which involves the upstream and downstream related industry support. In addition, the product came out, how to promote commercialization, the real realization of the key industry application popularization, reversing the key business to foreign large mainframe long-term dependence inertia, but also domestic manufacturers or even relevant government departments need to intervene.

26.55 billion

"Digital information" according to "CMC and CMC" research company analysis, micro-server market size in 2018 will be expected to reach 26.55 billion yuan. Currently, micro-servers account for 2.3% of the entire server market, and the Micro server market will account for 25% to 30% of the global server market over the next five years.

Mini Server products

"Digital thinking" according to the current low power demand or from another level, more I/O application load requirements appear, micro-server development in the future to improve the space is larger. According to an analysis by IHS Isuppli, another research firm, 2013 shipments of micro-servers will reach 291000 units, up 230% from 88000 last year. By 2016, the micro-server will occupy the entire server market 10%.

In general, research institutions are more optimistic about the future development of micro-servers, this is indeed the new growth point of the server industry. At present, in the field of micro-server, Seamicro, Intel, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Fujitsu, etc. are the major promotional vendors.

The author does not deny that the micro-server as a server industry recruits development momentum. However, the usefulness of a micro-server is worth considering. Compared with blade server, cloud Server, which is superior? Difficult to distinguish, and some just apply the load demand is not the same to take different choices. Advise industry users, see their own needs, do not blindly and "new".

3.0

"Digital information" January foreign media Techreport reported that AMD in the Open Computing project has a new performance, AMD launched a new server platform Open3.0. The platform tries to simplify the server board design by removing redundant components from the server, and to serve the efficient data center with a new modular server platform.

"AMD Open 3.0 motherboard Model"

The AMD Open 3.0 motherboard is equipped with two AMD Hao Dragon 6300 series processors. Supports up to 24 DIMM memory slots and 6 SATA connections. In terms of size, the Open 3.0 motherboard is of the size "x16.7" and is suitable for 1u,1.5u,2u or 3U server chassis.

The "digital Thinking" Open computing project, proposed by Facebook in April 2011, is aimed primarily at data centers and servers, and is built to provide technical parameters and technical information to the highly efficient computers that run Internet services and share them, Promote the effectiveness and requirements of professional servers by sharing design parameters. After all, it's an open source behavior. Facebook-related executives are more of an image called hardware popularization. AMD's new Open 3.0 server platform is the expression of the concept of open computing landing.

The AMD Open 3.0 platform uses modular design and simplifies motherboard design, using a common socket architecture to make it possible for multiple types of CPUs to coexist in a single server, addressing the high cost of IT architecture for industry users who have different CPUs due to compatibility issues. How open 3.0 servers will be opened is still unknown, AMD will be released in the first quarter of 2013. Of course, there is no doubt that the development trend of open computing is irreversible, and the effectiveness of it is very high, the key to see how many users will accept.
