With the launch of dual-core Xeon chip for blade servers, Intel has become the ability of businesses to cash in the form of low power consumption and greater reliability scored shop.
Studies indicate a server blade power and cooling costs 15-25 percent to meet the needs of our clients in question. Dual-core/dual-processor capabilities are ideal for a wide range of low-power communications and embedded applications.
blade server is: Even movies that are not less powerful processors, the total power and cooling requirements of a rack, eliminating many of the infrastructure components to reduce the energy consumed twice contained 1U server 2U rack.
use a blade server, not half or two thirds of the power of traditional 1U and 2U rack mount is the same computing power. The reason is that the consolidation of resources allows the blade to achieve economies of scale. For example, instead of 10 offers 500 watts for 10 traditional 1U servers, server blades can have two 2000 watts of power.
With all that support equipment is removed and the common chassis, the blade is much smaller. With the reduction in the blade server can be hot-plug power and cooling in the chassis. Therefore, the chassis offers more efficient space and power.
Add new processors with low energy efficiency of a single chassis and blade servers are an attractive option for server consolidation projects.
The three new Xeon server chips this year, published by Intel Sossaman (launched March 14), Dempsey (May 23) and Woodcrest (June 26).
The Xeon chips offer the advantages of combining the characteristics of two separate cores with intelligent power management for high yield performance much more per watt than previous platforms, single-core Intel Xeon-based. What follows is a brief explanation of each:
(Also known as low-voltage Xeon) Sossaman consumes about 30 watts and 31 watts with a thermal design power (TDP) of assessment. It integrates two to four times higher performance per watt than its predecessor, a version of a 55-watt single-core Intel Xeon chip called "Irwindale".
The processor is available in 1.66 and 2.0 GHz and offers speeds of 32-bit (since it is derived from a handheld device), instead of 64-bit addressing. It has a speed of 667 MHz frontside bus and L2 cache size of 2 MB.
In almost a month apart, were Dempsey (Dual-Core Xeon 5000 series) and Woodcrest (Xeon 5100) published by Intel. The launch of Woodcrest Dempsey makes some believe, based on Intel "Bensley" server was immediately necessary. However, Intel Dempsey is sold as a low-cost alternative to Woodcrest.
The comparison between the most important, with Dempsey Woodcrest Woodcrest consumes less power and less heat for Dempsey takes the micro-architecture has been optimized at the top is to reduce energy consumption. Woodcrest is available in three varieties, 40W TDP optimized versions for blades, the public 65W TDP parts, and are above 3 GHz and a TDP of 80W.
All the pieces fall below 3 GHz in the range of 65W or 40W TDP. In comparison, the top bin shares Dempsey has a TDP of 130W, and parts of the middle range were measured at 95 W, and the need for raw power and thermal problems have not prevented a knife Dempsey.
He also read Woodcrest and clock gating, the average improvement in performance to help reduce.
rate ranges from 2.67 to 3.73 GHz Dempsey Some models have a 667 MHz FSB, while others have a 1066 MHz FSB
Woodcrest, the first Intel Core microarchitecture to set up, 80 percent and increase performance while reducing energy consumption by 20 percent compared to the Pentium D.
It has a FSB of 1333 MHz, in most models, except 5110 and 5120, with a FSB of 1066 MHz, with the fastest processor at 3.0 GHz log Any use 5148LV Woodcrest LGA 771 and all have at least 5160 and a TDP of 65 W, which is much less than the previous generation of 130 W. 5160 has a TDP of 80 W. Watts, far less than 130
Intel has begun shipping to customers the next generation of Intel server, the server board and server chassis with dual-core Xeon 5000 and 5100 (Dempsey and Woodcrest).
The use of blade servers is advantageous for businesses large and small. For small companies, one or more individual servers often cost a small network should be supported. On large installations, in particular the expected increase capacity quickly, the blade server architecture offers increased efficiency and ease of scalability.
In summary, blade servers - using the latest versions of Intel Xeon dual-core - to increase reliability, reduce energy consumption, and are the logical choice for a company to save money and administration.
