Benefits
A Scalable High Performance
Platform
HiServer 318 are designed for accommodating up
to 18 server blades within 3U Rack mount chassis. A standard 42U rack
enclosure can contain up to 252 server blades, each with GHz+ Pentium
III processor and redundant 100Mb/1000Mb Lan ports. It is suited for
the intensive computing and communication applications of nowadays.
HiServer is not only significant in its superior overall performance,
but also performs excellently in the aspect of power consumption, with
each server only consuming less than 50 watts.
Quick Deployment and
Maintenance
All field serviceable units of HiServer™ 318
are hot swappable, including Server blade, Management blade, power
modules, and fan modules. Users can deploy the HiServer with minimum
efforts by just having to ' plug and play' the server blades. The
hot-swap feature also enables fast and easy system maintenance.
Whenever there is a failure in any of its parts, users may just take
out the failing part and replace it with a workable one without having
to shut down the whole HiServer system.
HiServer's unique
cable less KVM switch and peripheral switch design permits all those
server blades within one chassis to share a single set of keyboard,
video, mouse, CD-ROM and floppy drives without any cable, which makes
on-site service more efficient and beneficial to users who work with
diversified applications that requires frequent system configuration.
Plus with proprietary stackable KVM switch function, HiServer allow
several chassis to share access to the KVM.
HiServer™ 318 Front
Adaptive and
Scalable System Configuration
The server blades of HiServer are
built with off-the-shelf upgradeable components, including CPU, RAM
and HDD. This makes HiServer™ more adaptive to application requirement
than other.
HiServer™ are the sole blade
server in the world that offers I/O expandability. Server blades with
64-bit I/O expansion slot can host high performance SCSI HBA, FC HBA,
VIDEO CODEC, WAN NIC, plus lots of others to fulfill the functions for
various applications.
Lower Total
Cost of Ownership
HiServer 318 saves user's
investment on many fronts. The most obvious one is its compact design
that gives zoom for 18server blades with only 3U space, which helps to
reduce the investment in floor space significantly. Through the
optimal design, HiServer consumes no extra power than that is needed -
each blade consumes only less than 50 watts; and as a result, HiServer
also saves lots of cost in energy consumption as well as air
conditioning.
In addition to its uniquely
innovative designs, the most outstanding benefit of HiServer is that
its owner will not only achieve tremendous saving in the investment,
but will also minimize maintenance costs as well as down-time losses
over time, which are accomplished by combining the features of its
unique KVM&CF sharing and KVM daisy chain architecture, as well as its
modular, backup, and hot-swap design. Those features allow users to
perform system configuration, software installation and maintenance on
any server blades with less effort, both at local and remote sites.
Just by clicking the chassis or blade icon, users can remotely monitor
all field service units and execute Start/Stop/Restart to any server
blades. Even when needing to replace the failure parts, all you have
to do is "pull and plug". Therefore, administrator of HiServer systems
can always take action and recuperate the system at the earliest
moment.
Another advantage is the
simplified cabling, where only 18 cords are used with 252 servers
within a 42U rack. That means no more tangled cables to trouble the
system administrator and a much higher number of servers can be
managed by one person, in contrast to traditional 1U slim server.
A Reliable
Platform You Need
24x7x365 hours are the time that
your servers have to keep on running. There is no compromise. High
reliability server systems are so demanding, But reliability does not
always originate from brand names. Instead, in reality, it comes from
the superiority of system architecture. HiServer has taken many issues
into consideration. It was created with the stringent design criteria
of industrial computers. For securing the system from failed power
modules, additional power unit serves as backup. All major parts of
HiServer are designed as hot-swap units. This feature is not just
convenient for maintenance, but it also reduces the system's potential
points of failure, and so it elevates the system reliability. In
developing the product, lots of efforts have been devoted to the
achievement of excellent thermal efficiency, and the product was put
through high temperature chamber test. HiServer have been well proven
by the high number of its use in the industries. HiServer is such a
reliable platform representing the paradigm shift of server technology
that you definitely don't want to miss out on it in the coming future.
