2 Overview My Background CIBAC JTDI Hardware CIBAC JTDI Software Question & Answer Live Demonstration Question & Answer 2

3 My Background Born in Meridian, MS Intergraph Security, Government & Infrastructure (SG&I) Division Have worked for Intergraph for over 6 years Have 10 years of IT experience exclusively with the Department of Defense Was the hardware and software architect for the CIBAC JTDI Project Was the former onsite administrator for the Pax River JTDI Top-Tier 3

4 Morgan State JTDI Hardware Quantum SuperLoader 3 LTO HP Proliant DL140 G3 HP 1 x 4 USB/PS2 KVM Switch HP TFT7600 Egenera ES Dell EMC AX150 APC SmartUPS 750 APC 208V to 120V Step-Down Transformer APC SmartUPS 5000VA 208V 4

5 Traditional Blade Servers Consolidation Common power Common cooling Simplified cabling Blade Is Still a Standalone Server Hardware owns the application Required to duplicate services across multiple servers for high availability 5

6 How is Egenera Different? Diskless, stateless blade servers with a high-speed switch fabric and unique virtualization software that can dynamically allocate servers to applications as needed The hardware does not own the application Automatic Failover Builtin High Availability Server Repurposing Since the hardware does not own the application when the application is not needed the hardware can be used for a different task 6

7 Egenera BladeFrame ES Will perform Top- and Mid- Tier server capabilities at MSU Rack mounted form factor Blades loaded in Vertically Images Provided By The Egenera Corporation 7

8 The Blade Plane (Chassis) The Blade Plane is a rack mounted, form factor chassis that contains the BladeFrame components Height: in. / 57.8 cm. Width: 17.6 in. / 44.7 cm. Depth: 30 in. / 76 cm. The Blade Plane provides physical connections, data paths and power distribution for all the BladeFrame components Image Provided By The Egenera Corporation 8

9 Control Blades ES (cblades or CSBlades) Control Blades Image Provided By The Egenera Corporation The redundant Control Blades house the Processing Area Network (PAN) Manager software (Virtualization) The two cblades each house a DVD-ROM drive The cblades provide connectivity to outside networks and the Dell EMC AX150 / Storage Area Network (SAN) 9

10 Processing Blade (pblades( pblades) The Processing Blades provide the processing power required to run applications pblades are stateless, anonymous, and exchangeable Disk services are provided by Dell s EMC AX150 Through processor virtualization options, multiple Processor servers can be supported Images Provided By The Egenera Corporation 10

11 Dell EMC AX150 Storage Area Network (SAN) Provides the entry level storage array for the pblades Offers redundant storage processor technology with N + 1 power supplies The EMC AX150: Takes snapshots of the data Stores the data from hard drives Can automatically failover in the event of a system malfunction Images Provided By Dell Corporation Images Provided By The Dell Corporation 11

12 Tape Library Backup The Tape Library Backup is a backup storage device containing tape drives that read and writes data from the hard drives of the EMC s onto magnetic tape The tape library cannot be directly connected to the Egenera BladeFrame ES An HP ProLiant DL140 G3 serves as a host server Image Provided By The Hewlett-Packard Development Company 12

13 HP 1 x 4 USB/PS2 KVM Switch The Keyboard, Video, and Mouse (KVM) switch enables users to use the HP Proliant DL140 G3 and provide future expansion for Morgan State 13
