Agenda Micro Servers Properties and Benefits Workload Suitability Technical Details on Micro Server Platforms Roadmap Atom S1200 and the Bordenville Platform Xeon-E3 v2/v3 and the Bromolow & Denlow Platforms Summary 2
Micro Server Definition Many small, 1-socket servers sharing a chassis, fans, power supplies and interconnect to achieve higher efficiency (fewer fans & power supplies) and density (more nodes per rack) + Versus 1U rack servers in 40U rack, based on Intel estimates using front-access SSI standard modules 3
Micro Server Benefits Perf / Watt / $ Gains For unique, highly parallel workloads Reduced acquisition cost Per node performance less important Right size processing For lightweight, I/O bound apps Maximum node density Per node performance less important Micro Servers hit unique density, performance, rack, & cost design targets 4
Example: Two Types of Web Serving Needs Comparing a high throughput web tier to a dedicated web hoster Maximum Web Transactions Maximum Web Servers Xeon E3-1265Lv2 112 nodes, 6.7kW Rack Perf 1.7 Perf/Watt 3.4 Atom S1260 672 nodes, 13.4kW Rack Perf 1.0 Perf/Watt 1.0 UP TO 2X MORE Web Trans/Min/Rack UP TO 5X MORE Dedicated Nodes/Rack 5 Configuration: E3-1265Lv2 usvr: Dell* C5220* blade with Dell Viking Chassis. 112 nodes per rack (14 chassis/rack * 8 blades/chassis) with 16GB DDR3, 2x10GbE, 2x480GB SSD per node. Atom S1260 usvr: Assumed 560 nodes per rack (well within 15kW envelope) with 8GB DDR3, 2x1GbE, 2x150GB SSD per node. Software and workloads used in performance tests may have been optimized for performance only on Intel microprocessors. Performance tests, such as SYSmark and MobileMark, are measured using specific computer systems, components, software, operations and functions. Any change to any of those factors may cause the results to vary. You should consult other information and performance tests to assist you in fully evaluating your contemplated purchases, including the performance of that product when combined with other products. Configurations: Intel Internal measurements and estimates April 2012, All comparisons assume 42U 5kW rack. See backup for configuration details. For more information go to http://www.intel.com/performance. Results have been estimated based on internal Intel analysis and are provided for informational purposes only. Any difference in system hardware or software design or configuration may affect actual performance.. Intel does not control or audit the design or implementation of third party benchmark data or Web sites referenced in this document. Intel encourages all of its customers to visit the referenced Web sites or others where similar performance benchmark data are reported and confirm whether the referenced benchmark data are accurate and reflect performance of systems available for purchase.
