Operating Manual 11
1 Introduction
In the PRIMERGY RX900 S2, the Intel QPI architecture in PRIMERGY x86
systems is used for the first time in combination with 8-socket scalability and the
new Intel E7 8800 Xeon processor series with up to 10 cores per CPU. The
result is a new scale-up server, that sets a new performance reach achievable
with x86 rack server technology.
The RX900 S2 provides linear scalability by simultaneously expanding I/O
capacity, memory capacity and CPU performance, once upgrading the system
with combined CPU/Memory boards. The CPU performance will scale up in line
with additional 16 memory slots per configurable board resulting in 4 TB RAM,
with availability of 32 GB memory modules. With Intel QPI link technology, a
fully populated 8 CPU system will have 4 activated I/O hubs, providing
aggregated peak I/O bandwidth of more than 100 GByte/s. The two onboard 10
Gigabit Ethernet controllers plus 6 x 1000 baseT onboard Ethernet ports ensure
ample IP network bandwidth from the very start.
Linear scaleability is beneficial for very large corporate databases (Oracle,
Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, DB2 and other) and heavy load transactional
processing applications where response time and throughput is paramount.
Likewise, corporate SAP/ERP, Decision Support services and Business
Intelligence solutions are centralized mission critical workloads, where
"performance for time-to-results" constitutes the business critical value.
By supporting the leading enterprise virtualization suites such as VMware,
Hyper-V and Xen, the RX900 S2 server enables for large scale consolidation of
virtual servers to a central point. In other words, many "big VMs" can be running
without performance barriers such as mission critical VDI consolidation.
Thanks to its highly developed hardware and software components, the server
offers a high level of data security and availability. These include hot-plug
HDD/SSD modules, hot-plug system fans, hot-plug power supply units, the
Server Management ServerView Suite, Prefailure Detection and Analysis
(PDA), and Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart (ASR&R).Security
functions in the BIOS Setup and on the baseboard protect the data on the
server against manipulation.The server occupies 8 height units (HU) in the rack.
