Servers
The following types of servers are used in the ESS 5000 system:
• ESS management server
• Protocol node
• I/O server
All these servers are based on the IBM POWER9 architecture. All these server types are having the same
MTM (5105-22E).
ESS management server
The ESS management server (EMS) manages and deploys the I/O servers and hosts the graphical user
interface (GUI). The specifications of the EMS server are as follows:
• 1x DD2.3 20 Small Cores, 190W/225W, 2.5GHz/2.9GHz
• 128 GB default memory, no NVDIMMs
• No HBAs
• The same NIC/fabric options as the NSD server
– C9, C6, C12, C7
• 2x SFF HDD capacity 1.8 TB
The ESS 5000 EMS node can be used to manage both ESS 3000 and ESS 5000 systems as shown in the
following figure:
