Wave release nf8460m3 update its four-way server product line

"Tenkine Server Channel message" May 22, the wave in Beijing to "insight • On-demand • Integration" as the theme of the media communication will share the tide of the general server market development trend analysis. According to the introduction, Wave server in the first quarter of 2014 year-on-year increase in shipments of more than 100%, and the development of China's server market share of the first business development planning, through channels, products, talent, agile supply chain to MNC once monopolized the industry to carry out full penetration and charge. The four-way and four-way server market is the focus of the strategic layout of the wave.

In the four-way server product line, the wave release includes three products including flagship product nf8480m3, main product nf8460m3 and intermediate product nf8470m3. In the product design concept, the use of modular and integrated means of integration, in accordance with customer demand for flexible deployment to meet the needs of each category of customers.

Market changes difficult to move four strategic position

According to IDC data, 2013 China X86 server market Total sales of 1474828 units, an increase of 12.6%, the growth rate than 2012 slowed, and in the server manufacturers most valued the industry market, sales and sales of the year-on-year growth rate of only 0.8% and 2%, the competition further aggravated.

Wave new four-way server dismantling

In the obvious weakness of the industry market, the four-way server has maintained a steady growth posture, from 2008 to 2013, the total sales from 50,000 to 120,000 units, has accounted for 27% sales and sales 8%, the average price is the market level of 3.4 times times. With the increasing cramped of industrial profit space, the strategic significance of four routes to server manufacturers is self-evident.

Use the customer's thinking to do four ways

2013 Tide Server in 4 road and above the server market share in the top two, the overall market domestic first, in order to further enhance product competitiveness. Recently, the wave launched a four-way server New English letter nf8460m3 to replace the nf8560m2,nf8460m3 based on the intel® E7V2 platform, can support a full range of e7-4800 V2 and E7-8800V2 series processors, 2TB memory, 12 PCI slots, Is the wave of the next generation four main products.

Wave four-way server nf8460m3

nf8460m3 computing, storage, I/O using a highly integrated approach, power supply, fans, hard disk and other auxiliary modules using modular design. Because Linux and Windows operating systems do not support CPU hot plug, the significance of modular design of computational units is not the easy maintenance of hot plug, but the expansion of plate design, but from the actual application, the customer's demand for memory capacity is not high. According to the tide statistics, to participate in the spec various test servers, more than 90% of the memory configuration is below 1TB, the actual use of PCI slots are less than 8. In the above extended scope, motherboard integration is the lowest cost, the best stability implementation, modular design of the memory board, I/O board will bring unnecessary costs.

Four-way server is mainly used for hosting databases, virtualization, business intelligence and other key application scenarios, in the pursuit of performance, scalability, product design should focus on stability, reliability, easy maintenance and other basic customer needs, pay attention to the balance of various types of resources allocation.

Wave Server Product Department deputy general manager Ding the characteristics of this product to "easy, high, gall, big".

First is easy to maintain, for vulnerable parts, high expansion requirements of the components are modular and hot plug design, such as PCI, hard drives, power supplies and fans, these components are all designed at the front and rear of the product, maintenance is very convenient, in addition, the wave also provides LCD management panel, the user can be matched, The combination of LCD panel and gigabit Network management features can realize the visual management of the whole machine.

The second is high-performance, high reliability, including the hard disk, power supply, fans and so on have taken redundant design, to ensure the system online running time. NF8460M3 performance is also very satisfactory, the press conference, the wave announced the product and the product nf8560m2 comparison test results, it is noteworthy that the wave did not adopt 15 core processor, but the market application of the mainstream--E7V2 eight core and 10 nuclear to compare, The results show that the system improves nearly twice times.

The so-called "gall" mainly refers to the large capacity of memory, support 2TB DDR3 1600MHz R&LR DIMM, enough to meet the memory requirements of the largest virtualization, database and other applications. and "big" refers to large scalability, 12 PCI slots, can support 6 full speed 16X, can support multiple HBAs, RAID, Wan Shao and other types of cards.

Differentiated layout three products complete coverage

"Another flagship product nf8480m3 is coming on the market, this product can meet the needs of all users, the adoption of full modular design, scalability, intelligent characteristics, advanced maintenance characteristics, etc. are the industry's first-class level," Ding said, "nf8480m3 is dedicated to mature high-end user design." "In addition, the wave will also introduce a relatively neutral product nf8470m3 to make up for the market gap between the two products." Three products together constitute a wave in the four-way server areas of differentiated product layout.

Outlook: Four-way growth power surging

Emerging applications such as cloud computing and data center consolidation are still in their infancy, and these new application models will give the four-way server a sustained growth momentum. In the virtualization, Cloud computing mode, four-way server in the performance, energy consumption, management, scalability, cost and other aspects than the single and dual server has a clear advantage, more industry customers began to favor the use of multiple-server based cloud computing solution.

A wave of high-end breakthroughs

In recent years, the wave has become the most outstanding performance in high-end server market manufacturers. As early as 2009, the wave of independent development of the four-way server NF8560, system reliability level reached the industry-leading, creating a 20-month sales of record-breaking record, to 2013 wave in the four market share of the market second place. 2010, Wave launched China's first self-developed eight server shuttle TS850, using a memory fault automatic repair, such as 30 kinds of RAS technology, listing more than 4 years, the performance growth of more than 10 times times, the market share has surpassed the IBM same-type products become the first market, in finance, telecommunications, transportation, energy, The core areas of public security, tax and other key industries have been applied on a large scale. At present, China every three high-end eight server sales, there is a tide shuttle TS850.

January 2013, the tide officially released China's first autonomous 32-way mainframe shuttle K1,64 Road is also about to be released in 2015, with the wave of high-end breakthrough accelerated, China's high-end server industry will usher in a big change.
