Key Features
Optional OCP 2.0 Mezzanine IO slot
Maximized exhaust-vent area design for optimized cooling
• Designed to support standard Grantley/Broadwell, Purley/Skylake and AMD Naples platforms
• Purpose-built for NVMeoF usage model with optimized IO bandwidth and latency
• Perfectly balanced IO design:
o Each CPU manages one PEX9781 or PEX9797 PCIe switch
o Each PCIe switch manages 48x lanes downstream for 12* U.2 or 6* PCIe X8 AIC modules plus one or two PCIe X16
network adapter slots
o Maximum throughput with each CPU capable of sustaining over 200Gbps and 4M IOPs
• RDMA/RoCE/iWARP NIC adapters are linked to NVMe SSDs via PCIe switch
• System is designed to minimize crossing over the QPI/UPI links to avoid additional interrupts
• Unmatched IO bandwidth with in a compact 2U platform
• Over 500Gbps sustained IO performance for the entire system
• Based on COTS components to avoid vendor lock-ins
• Modular design and future-proof, can migrate to new generation platforms with minimum efforts
• Maximized exhaust vents plus high-pressure cooling fans result in high-efficiency cooling
•Designed for OEMs with many options for customizations
• Supports U.2 NVMe devices
• 2U form factor with 27” depth, designed to fit 900-mm racks
• 2x Canisters supporting 10x NVMe U.2 SSD drives each
• 2 or 4x PCIe X16 expansion slots for up to 448 Gbps (4*112Gb EDR IB) of network IO bandwidth
• Symmetrically-balanced IO between two CPUs for optimal performance with each CPU managing one PCIe switch and half
the expansion slots and NVMe devices downstream
• NVMe devices and network adapters are linked directly over PCIe switch for minimized latency
• Optional support for GPGPU cards for VDI applications
• 2x Avago/PLX PEX9781 or 97 PCIe fan-out switches supporting DPC and hot-swap
• Additional PCIe Gen3 X16 rear OCP 2.0 IO module for 40/100Gb options for secondary network storage connectivity
• Supports up to two E5-2699v4 Xeon or Purley/Skylake processors
• 2x hot-swap 2.5”-7mm system disks (boot drives)
• 1200~1600W(230VAC) CRPS redundant power supply options
• 4x 80x38mm high-pressure cooling fans
• Optional lockable front bezel to protect from unauthorized removal of sensitive data
• Optional MCU module for PCIe switch boards for additional OEM-manageable functions
