With the new E5-2600 series processors launched by Intel, Dell has released a new generation of 12G PowerEdge servers. Compared with the previous generation of Xeon 5600 processor products, the new generation of Xeon E5-2600 processor cores has increased to a maximum of 8; secondly, the E5-2600 series has added a new ring bus QPI to achieve direct interconnection between chips; in addition The E5-2600 series also supports PCI-E3.0, which can double the I/O bandwidth compared to the PCI-E3.0 specification. At the same time, the lower power consumption also makes the E5-2600 more suitable for Application scenarios of cloud data centers.
Based on the Intel Xeon E5 processor, Dell's 12G PowerEdge server has made new improvements in access speed, intelligent management and virtualization performance, and is designed to improve the performance of virtualization environments and simplify management. design. The 12G PowerEdge servers released by Dell this time include the 12th generation blade MC620, rack servers R820, R720, R620, and tower server T620. Based on previous acquisitions and integrations, Dell's new storage products EqualLogic PS6110 and PS4110 are also officially launched. This article will analyze the memory expansion features and integrated GPU technical features of Dell 12G servers, and also introduce several distinctive Dell 12G servers.
High-density memory features break through virtualization bottlenecks
In terms of memory density, many of the 12th-generation servers launched by Dell can already provide 24 dual-in-line slots. The memory slot of the storage module can expand the memory up to 768G. These features are enough to easily cope with the problems of insufficient memory and difficulty in expansion that many enterprises encounter in practical applications. In addition, the scalability of memory can better support the popular virtualization deployment.
It is worth mentioning that Dell PowerEdge R820 has extremely high memory scalability and can be easily expanded to two to four channels. It is ideal for enterprises that require high memory density and high expansion performance to deploy virtualization. An ideal platform. In addition, memory power consumption is reduced to 1.35v, further reducing server operating temperatures and energy costs.
In terms of ensuring the reliability of virtualized applications, Dell's 12th generation servers can use redundant hypervisors to automatically handle failures, and the transfer function can maximize uptime. With the help of 10 Gigabit Ethernet connection options, Dell's 12th generation servers greatly improve the throughput of virtual applications, while supporting PCIe SSD, providing tiered storage options and supporting higher I/O throughput. For example, the PowerEdge R720xd has 26 2.5-inch disk bays, which is very suitable for storage-intensive server applications and is a perfect combination of highly scalable storage and high-density memory.
In terms of reducing management complexity, Dell OpenManage that comes with Dell PowerEdge fully integrates VMware vCenter and Microsoft System Center console, which can greatly simplify virtual machine and server management; at the same time, with the help of Dell remote management controller (iDRAC7), administrators can remotely manage the server through the interface on the server backplane. Even if the office environment and the data center are far apart, the server can be controlled and managed in real time.
In addition, Dell 12G PowerEdge servers are also optimized for running critical applications. Express Flash can increase SQL transaction volume by 60 times, and with the help of CacheCade caching technology, query processing speed can be increased by 28 times.
In addition to server products, Dell also released vStart, an overall package solution for rapid implementation of virtualization. vStart includes Dell's rack servers, storage devices and switches, providing consistent pre-configured virtualization infrastructure for users. There is no need to master too many professional skills in virtualization, it can be used out of the box and deployed quickly. This frees users from tedious and lengthy virtualization planning, capacity planning and implementation, greatly simplifying and accelerating server virtualization deployment.
Flexible integrated GPU technology solution to realize HPC
With more and more high-performance computing applications based on GPU, driven by this hot application, there have been more and more More and more server manufacturers have launched server products and solutions optimized for GPU integration. Dell's PowerEdge C series servers are infrastructure servers specifically designed for cluster optimization and sharing. Among the just-launched 12th generation servers, there are a number of server products optimized for GPU technology, such as C6220, and C410X, and C6145, etc. In addition to these C-series servers, Dell tower and rack server products also deploy some server solutions with built-in GPUs based on GPU applications, such as T620, R720, and blade server M610X, etc. Enable more superior high-performance computing applications through more intensive types of computing.
Nowadays, the space and power constraints of data centers have become increasingly prominent, so achieving more intensive computing in a limited space is undoubtedly the future development direction and trend. In Dell's new PowerEdge R720 server, two Nvidia GPUs can be integrated into the space of a 2U rack server to achieve higher density computing. In addition, in Dell's desktop and workgroup product series, the PowerEdge T620 server can integrate four NVIDIA GPUs, which is also a way to achieve higher-density computing. In addition, the T620 also supports virtual desktop infrastructure solutions for applications such as medical imaging.
As a server product in the PowerEdge C series that mainly handles intensive GPU technology applications, Dell PowerEdge C410X has made great improvements in high-density computing. It can be provided in a height of 3U. It supports ten PCIE modules, and at the same time, it has support for six PCIE modules on the back. All PCIE modules support half-height and full-height GPU modules, mainly for high-performance computing applications in the fields of energy, biology, medical imaging, chemistry, etc.
In addition to better integration of GPUs within servers, Dell has also launched some corresponding solutions for external GPUs, making it easier to flexibly expand HPC systems. A single PowerEdge C410X PCIE module can provide support for half-height and full-height GPU modules, and it also supports NVIDIA's next-generation Kepler architecture GPU). In addition, the PowerEdge C410X PCIE module is suitable for a wide range of Dell servers, such as R720, C6142, etc.
