The Benefits High-Density Blade Servers

Scalable-- The TYAN Yellow River series is an ultra high density twin server platform. Our 1U and 2U chassis accommodate side-by-side dual processor server motherboards, with two independent server blades in a single chassis for up to 84 independent server nodes in a 42U rack. Yellow River offers unbeatable scalability with up to two 12-core CPUs per node, or four CPUs per 1U, and up to 168 processors (or up to 2,016 CPU cores) in a 42U rack.

Space Effective -- The Yellow River solution provides 100% greater node density than standard 1U servers, making it exceptionally space efficient. The density of this blade design gives far more processing power per U than other server architectures without the increased cost associated with other blade server solutions.

Modular -- TYAN designed Yellow River to be a truly modular server solution. Each chassis houses two server blades, each of which is easily removable. Moreover, the PSU and hard drives for each node are removable as well, facilitating server maintenance with quick, easy access to all the key components. Each node has its own power supply, which means nodes can be individually maintained without interrupting the adjacent node. This modular design offers the highest level of reliability, serviceability and convenience, making it perfectly suited for large data centers.

Manageable -- Built-in IPMI 2.0 means you'll spend less time managing.

Efficient - The Yellow River platform boasts impressive power savings. TYAN offers both AMD and Intel based Yellow River platforms. The optional S8228 motherboard equipped with six- or four-core AMD Opteron™ 4100 series processors (Socket C32, processor code named "Lisbon") is optimized for best-in-class power efficiency. At as little as 5.8W per core, the Opteron 4100 is acclaimed as the industry's most power efficient server CPU. A full rack of six-core Opteron 4100 series processors will yield considerable power savings. The YR290-B7018-D2 supported six-core Intel Xeon® 5600/5500 series processors (Socket 1366, processor code named "Westmere") is featured with high performance in less rack space which help users reduce the total cost of ownership.

Flexible -- With five different slim form factor motherboards, two different chassis and two different power supplies to choose from, the Yellow River platform is uniquely flexible and can be easily adapted to meet your requirements. This blade platform is perfect for web servers, search engine servers, data centers (IPDC), and clustered HPC applications.
