7 Agenda Density-Optimized Servers

8 Breaking Down Barriers in the Datacenter More, and Broader, Access to More Data Impact Across Geos Expanding the Global Audience Extending the Walls of the Enterprise Building compliance with governmental regulations into the solution, while isolating workloads in a virtualized server, multi-tenant cloud environment End-to-end solutions (mobile phone to CSP) will require redesign of the software environment Business Goals: Better end-user productivity, more efficient processing of applications, databases

9 Density and Fabrics Shrink the System Server Density is Increasing Systems on a Chip (SOCs): Less cabling, fewer components Server Processors as Neighbors to Local Storage Leveraging Low-Power Processors (e.g., ARM, Intel Atom) Fabric Is a Key Component of Dense Systems Fabrics Bring More Switches Inside the Machine Downsizing the System Board for High Performance Smaller Distances Between Components

10 Density-Optimized Form Factors Density optimized servers are designed for large-scale datacenter environments where parallelized workloads are prevalent. The form factor serves the unique needs of these datacenters with streamlined system designs that focus on performance, energy efficiency, and density. These systems are typically deployed in fully assembled rack configurations; use case examples include ecommerce, cloud computing, online game hosting, social networking sites, dedicated hosting, Hadoop, and HPC (high performance computing).

17 Key Takeaways In cloud servers, it s a start-over environment, with cloud-specific requirements. Stay close to the customers. It s worth it. New Requirements from Cloud Service Providers Keep Emerging. Monitor their latest deployments for technical changes and evolving server design. Understand what the ODMs are trying to do. If you re a systems vendor, you may want to take the same approach. If you re a large enterprise, you have a choice: build, buy, or collaborate with partners.
