The "Next Scale" system recommends "Big Blue" for the currently fastest growing workloads such as analytics, cloud delivery, social media or technical computing. It is based on the currently most powerful Intel Xeon processors (Ivy Bridge E5 with feature sizes of 22 nanometers) and to supercomputer performance permit for each data center. Here is a simple, flexible and open architecture offer many options for processing power, memory, graphics acceleration and coprocessors. The bottom line is to get the maximum performance outcome in the smallest space, and that too with high energy efficiency.
The new Next Scale platform
IBM includes many features that had so far known especially in the HPC environment.
Next Scale brings in a rack
As many three times cores under such a version with conventional 1U servers.
The Compute Modules for Next Scale
The equipped with the current are most powerful Xeon processors (Ivy Bridge E5, 22 nm) from Intel.
Next Scale packs up to 84 x86 based systems with 2016 cores in an EIA 19-inch rack. I/O cards and top-of-rack switches conform to the industry standard. IBM delivers with a software package that contains inter alia the General Parallel File System, GPFS Storage Server, xCAT and Platform Computing for functions such as scheduling, management and optimization , There are Solution Starter Kits for among other Ansys, MPI-BLAST or OpenStack. With "SmartCloud Entry" IBM also offers a software product, with the overall platforms and product lines a private cloud with heterogeneous hypervisors should be implemented quickly and cost effectively in a single system.
Next Scale works with Intel's fastest server CPUs and 1866 megahertz clocked memory. The system is also designed for use in data centers warmer (40 degrees Celsius) certified, which the cooling requirements and therefore the cost of the energy need significantly reduced. You can buy the system as a single node, empty or configured chassis, or equal rackweise as complete and pre-tested "intelligent cluster" solution. Business partners and VARs will benefit from the opportunity to obtain NeXtScale "building blocks" from the distributor and to open up with value-added components, services, and support additional sales.
Another innovation presented IBM nor the storage engine "HD x3650 M4" for the first time with 12-gigabyte RAID and 60 percent higher number of spindles for higher memory density and I / O performance. With Next Scale and x3650 M4 HD a refresh of the entire System x portfolio of dual-socket servers (rack, tower, Flex System, iDataPlex, BladeCenter) with Xeon E5-2600 v2'll heralded. The new generation of Intel server processors offer over the previous performance gains of up to 45 percent.
