1.1 Overview

The CH121 V5 is a half-width compute node powered by Intel

Xeon

Scalable processors.

It delivers supreme computing power, large memory capacity, and outstanding scalability.

The CH121 V5 provides dense computing capability and an ultra-large memory. It is
optimized for virtualization, cloud computing, high-performance computing, and compute-
intensive enterprise applications.

The CH121 V5 compute nodes are installed in an E9000 chassis and are centrally managed by
the management module.
