Promote the dawn and AMD push the new blade server TC3600

On March 27, 2014, Dawning Company and AMD jointly held a new conference on the theme of "extraordinary density and balanced performance". The two companies jointly launched the conference on the basis of AMD The latest dawn Dragon blade server TC3600 6338P and 6370P processor upgrade.

Dawn Liu Zhaohui, general manager of the company's products, said the dawn of the Chinese market is the first to introduce blade server vendors, in fact, in 2005 and 2006 when everyone was discussing the concept of blade server, dawn has introduced a blade server, By now the dawn has formed a complete blade server product line. 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 maximize the user value, the market will have the industry Better market performance.

Fu Xuehua, senior product manager of Dawning, pointed out in the following product introduction that the TC3600 features high performance, high speed, high efficiency, 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.

Fu Xuehua said the dawn of the investment in the blade is continuing, the blade product line is a series. The TC3600 is a density-balanced product, the TC4600 focuses on high-performance applications, and the TC5600 is the entire cabinet. The dawn from the original 7U to 10U to the entire cabinet we have been invested in the future there will be new product launches.

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. In the cloud infrastructure, virtualization technology is indispensable. AMD's new Opteron 6300 processor has been optimized to provide better physical cores and more physical virtual machines, enabling more virtualized cloud deployments with lower power consumption and lower cost High performance per watt.

The dawn of the upgrade The TC3600 is the first blade server system to meet the Server System Infrastructure (SSI) open standards and China's HPCSC standard. The TC3600 uses self-regulating power modules (SRPMs) , Automatically and intelligently regulates the management strategy of the power system and can always keep the power module working at the high point of the efficiency curve to reduce unnecessary power loss and greatly increase the service life of the power supply. In addition, the TC3600 also uses a linear pre-compensation thermal module LPCM, which adjusts the fan speed linearly and smoothly to reduce noise and reduce unnecessary power consumption according to the temperature change.

TC3600 can provide users with different application scenarios more freedom of choice. First of all, the product supports multiple compute blades under the AMD64, Intel EM64T and Godson CPU platforms. Users can dynamically adjust the configuration of the blade server according to changes in business needs. Second, the I / O design of the TC3600 breaks the traditional limitation of blade I / O expansion by independently configuring a PCI-E expansion slot for each compute blade and an additional two hard disk extensions. In addition, TC3600 also provides powerful and flexible network access features, including 40Gb Infiniband QDR network, 1Gb Ethernet network, 4Gb / 8Gb FC network. In terms of management, the TC3600 provides all-round management in three levels. Users can have complete control over the system through the local BMC (IPMI), system CMM management module, and the large-scale cluster management software of Gridview, and the system status is clear at a glance.
