In the infrastructure of any modern enterprise, a special place should be given to data storage and backup systems. In case of failure, human error or for maintaining archives, but the data must be reliably protected from loss, prying eyes or natural disaster. In this article, we will explain what hardware is used to copy data in different cases. The active development of information technologies, which began at the very beginning of the 21st century and does not plan to stop in the coming ...

Facebook is an innovative company in itself, and it's no wonder that they didn't just buy hundreds of servers to run their service. They have improved the memcached caching technology, and now the company's engineers are developing a new type of server that will be optimal for large cloud services - cheap, reliable and efficient. Innovations such as new cabinet heights, dual-input power supplies, lack of remote monitoring systems seem absurd today. By and large, Facebook's basic architecture ...

In this article, we will tell you about the 4-processor Dell PowerEdge R810 server, which has a complex modular layout that allows you to easily replace a failed block entirely. This server uses FlexMem Bridge technology, thanks to which all the server's memory slots become available to the customer, even if two processors out of four are installed. And, of course, the proprietary iDRAC control system and all those little things that classify such servers as elite. In previous reviews, the ...

A $ 30K 56kg machine is 4 servers in one case, each with 2 AMD Opteron 6174 processors. Thus, the highest density is achieved in a 2U case - 96 physical cores and 512GB memory, plus each node has a built-in 40G InfiniBand controller, making it an ideal machine for math calculations and HPC applications. We'll look at how it all works in our article. Today, the main tendency in server equipment is to increase the computational density of equipment, and the reasons for this are quite ...

Servers are the main strong point of Hewlett Packard products. The company owns more than one third of the x86 server market, so it's hard to compete in this regard. The company has expanded its server line this year, and the older models will soon be phased out. We will try to help you figure out the model range of HP servers that is relevant for the coming year. Not so long ago, HP outstripped IBM in server sales, slightly, but outstripped. This leap is driven by the company's very hard ...

Unique Intel-based 1U server platform that implements new expansion technologies. The motherboard installed in it allows you to divide the existing 32 PCI Express Gen2 lanes in various combinations, and a large selection of risers will make it possible to use cards with PCI-X, PCI-32 and PCI-64 interfaces. RTX technology allows you to use the entire height of the server chassis, and in fact, install any expansion cards of any size - at least two-slot GP-GPU cards. These servers are built ...

Today, when choosing a server based on Intel processors, many are wondering whether it is worth overpaying for new items built on the Nehalem architecture, or taking a server of the previous generation, especially with a higher processor frequency. We tested two popular HP Proliant DL380 G5 and G6 server models and compared them not only in speed, but also in design. Almost a year has passed since Intel presented its new Nehalem architecture on the server market, but at the same time, the ...

The benefits of the new Dell Blades are extended life cycle, lowest power consumption in the industry and support for both existing and future Blades. The new chassis have built-in KVM, and the proprietary iDRAC management system allows you to install the new server faster than ever. Supports up to 8 processor cores per blade, up to 16 blades per chassis. In continuation of the series of articles about the new generation of Dell servers, let us focus on the blade servers of a well-known ...

We continue to introduce you to the new generation of Dell PowerEdge server systems. This time we will consider models of the Pedestal format, which can be installed not only on the floor, but also in a rack. Dell offers a variety of machine modifications that support 2.5 " HDD / SSD & 3.5 & quot; HDD, with a new control system, designed for different tasks and loads. In the last article we started the conversation new generation Dell servers and it was about rack-mountable models. But ...

Analysts believe that the future belongs to Blade servers. They are able to provide a higher density of computing resources, significant energy savings, ease of installation and operation of the server park. What are Blade servers, how they appeared, how they evolved and what are their pros and cons, and most importantly, when your enterprise switches to Blade architecture, we will tell you in this article. At present, there is a large class of problems that require a high concentration of ...
