Lenovo ThinkAgile VX3320 review - a hyperconverged solution for simplified enterprise-wide vSAN deployment
Hyperconverged systems are rapidly gaining popularity and are already becoming the standard for building virtualization platforms in the corporate environment. Lenovo has released a special series of servers for installing and running VMware vSAN with tools for simplified administration and deployment at the customer's facility.
The ideology of hyperconvergent solutions using VMware technologies has its advantages: this is a relatively low cost at the start, and the ability to scale almost ...
Review of Lenovo ThinkEdge SE50 and SE30-industrial and peripheral PCs based on Core i7 with passive cooling
These are universal computers that can simultaneously be used in production, at peripheral facilities, and are equally well suited for PC-controlled equipment, for building control rooms, laboratories, and engineering workplaces. No moving parts concept, 4G/LTE support with eSIM, DIN rail mount and RS232 ports.
The development of robotics and automation of workplaces today has led to the fact that the OT industry (short for operational technologies), which includes a system for receiving ...
Review of the 4-CPU Lenovo SR860 V2 server based on Intel Xeon Cooper Lake
A very interesting server with a price of $ 1M, created for SAP HANA and applications with high RAM consumption. Here, the processors are located one above the other, there are 3 TB of memory, 4 power supplies, monitoring with predictive analysis of breakdowns and 48 storage slots.
Today we are testing a very special server from the family of vertically scalable x86 systems. The Lenovo SR860V2 quad-processor is designed to handle mission-critical workloads such as transactional and resident ...
What factors should be used to choose the server processor?
Why when choosing a processor, do not pay attention to the price per core or the price per Watt, but rather use the cost of a Megahertz with HT disabled and using Turbo Boost?
Here's how it used to be good: for servers, there was a single Pentium Pro processor, which you didn't need to choose. With the advent of multi-core processors, it became clear that the more computing blocks, the better, but only until marketers stepped in and pided one CPU into ten sockets with ten cache options and ...
How water displaces air in Lenovo supercomputers
A couple of years ago, the maximum air cooling limit was 600W per unit. Today, it is theoretically possible to divert up to 1.2 kW per unit using air. However, in the future, you will need to allocate 2 KW, and you can't do without liquid cooling.
Today, there is a steady trend to extract the maximum power from each computing unit of the data center. Users want to see more and more local disk storage inside data center nodes, and circulatory data transfer systems that combine cluster ...
Review of ASRock Rack E3C242D4U2-2T motherboard for budget office server
Practically, when you need a solution for a host running a security gateway, a 1C server and a Kubernetes node, you can even give up ECC memory in favor of Core i5, Core i3 and even Pentium Gold. In general, where a high frequency is needed in single-threaded loads, it is often not enough unless a normal motherboard
We love powerful 48-core processors, but not every customer is willing to pay for such capacity: even among modern companies with hybrid infrastructure (local + remote cloud), ...
Review of ASRock Rack EP2C621D12 WS motherboard for double Xeon LGA3647 processors
Want to connect more than three GPUs with PCI-Express 16x interface? Opt for a dual-processor motherboard and go for even the simplest 6-core Xeon Bronze 3104, you have 96 PCI-E lanes. In this review, we are looking at just a budget board for Multi-GPU servers and workstations.
Intel is actively promoting its LGA-3647 platform not only for the server market, but also for top-end computers designed for enthusiasts, as well as for workstations optimized for complex parallel computing. ...
Intel Xeon D-1600 processor family
Intel has updated the Broadwell-DE series of embedded processors for Edge applications. First of all, the frequency of each of the cores has increased, support for 4 10GBe network controllers has appeared and the performance of QAT technology has increased.
We first got acquainted with the Broadwell-DE series processors in 2015. Now, four years after the initial release of this series of SoCs, Intel is releasing the 1600 Xeon D processor line, and in this article, we will discuss what's new ...
Why Intel Xeon Platinum 9200 did not go to the masses
To date, no major vendor has announced support for Intel Xeon Platinum 9200 processors. In this article, we'll talk about why.
To date, no major vendor such as Dell EMC, HPE, Inspur, Lenovo, QCT, Huawei or Supermicro has announced support for Intel Xeon Platinum 9200 processors. Other vendors such as Wiwynn, Gigabyte, and Tyan also say they have no plans to support the Platinum 9200 series. HPE (Hewlett Packard Enterprise) will support the Platinum 9200 when it closes the Cray acquisition, ...
Lenovo Thinkserver SE350 Edge server review: a peripheral hero!
Built from scratch, this edge server has little in common with conventional desk or rack-mount machines. Let's start with the fact that it hangs on the wall, has a Wi-Fi and LTE modem.
Today we are considering a new class of devices, and I am unspeakably happy that over the decades of development of the server industry, for the first time I have been holding something new in my hands. This is not "old in new packaging", this is a clean slate device that has almost nothing to do ...
