Dual-core, Ddrii, and SAS architecture mainstream servers

&http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/37954.html ">nbsp; At the same time, with the introduction of Intel's core processor, manufacturers have also upgraded their own product lines. Especially in the mainstream 2U models, IBM, HP, Dell, the three major international giants are the fastest time, with the latest Intel processor for a full upgrade. Mainstream 2U models: IBM System x3650, Dell PowerEdge 2950 and HP ProliantDL380 G5 three mainstream servers have been upgraded to dual-core, or even four-core processors. Three new models, from the introduction to now has been the user's continued attention, are currently in the ranks of the top brand attention.

Here, the author introduces a variety of international brands mainstream 2U rack-type server: PowerEdge2950, HP ProLiant DL380 G5, IBM System x3650, while analyzing the common products. Summarizes the main features of the 2007 mainstream server products:

1, with Intel's new core dual-core 51XX series processors, such as PowerEdge2950, HP ProLiant DL380 G5 are using the Intel 5110 processor, the IBM System x3650 Server uses 5130 Duo processor.

2, three mainstream models to support the new Ddrii ECC high-speed memory, with the Intel chipset, dual-core processor to build a superior performance server. IBM Server Support Chipkill memory technology, the stability can be further improved.

3, the server for SAS hard drive support, the above mentioned three servers although in standard and not all configured SAS hard drive, but all provide a SAS hard drive expansion. From this we can find that: SAS serial hard disk will be the future mainstream storage.

4, from the price above, the 2007 mainstream dual-core servers compared to last year, prices generally declined. Indicates a dual-core server into the 2007-year mainstream server market.

1. Dell PowerEdge2950 Server

Dell PowerEdge2950 Server is Dell's new upgraded Nineth generation server, with standard 2U rack design, with a dual-core Intel 5110 Xeon 1.6GHz processor, 1066MHz Front bus, dual-core shared 4MB two cache, up to 2 processors. Standard two 512MB ECC ddrii memory, maximum memory capacity 32G.

Storage-side servers are standard with a 73GB SAS hard drive with a maximum support of 6 hard drives and a total storage capacity of 1.8TB. This Dell PE2950 server integrates RAID cards support for RAID0, 1, 5, 10, 50, and many other disk array patterns, with dual Intel 5110 dual-core processor performance, recommended as the need to access faster, less occupied space database use, can purchase several sets of database cluster.

Configuration/Price:

Dell PowerEdge 2950 is standard with Intel dual core Xeon 5110 1.6ghz/512mb*2 ECC DDR2 memory/Standard 73GB SAS hard drive/Integrated dual Gigabit Ethernet interface/3 year limited Warranty service. The price is about 13800 yuan ~15000 yuan.

Comment: Dell server price/performance is always very high, this Dell PowerEdge 2950 server is also the cost of the three server is the most cost-effective server.

At the same time, DELL PE2950 servers are well scalable. Supports up to 6 SAS hard disk maximum 1.8TB of storage capacity, as a database application is very suitable, so small and medium-sized users to consider using this server, can reduce the overall cost of the enterprise. In addition, this server can be used as a common application server such as mail, Web server and so on.
