2 Agenda idataplex Overview (racks and servers) idataplex Advantages idataplex Management idataplex Potential Costumers It wont be long, I promise..

3 Background Customers Spoke, IBM Listened. New computing model and demands requires new thinking Minimize acquisition and operation costs Efficient power and cooling High density Single point of management Flexible configuration scalability

4 What is idataplex High volume, low cost computing for HPC, Web 2.0 and Cloud. Supports up to 84 Intel based servers per rack. Energy efficient design (part of IBM s Project Big Green). Flexible servers choices.

18 idataplex Advantages

19 idataplex Advantages Acquisition costs idataplex is custom-built at time of order, no existing inventory The price of the hardware will be substantially lower than traditional tier one products, and will be comparable to white box products.

20 idataplex Advantages Operating costs Operating expenses are the - real estate (floor space) - power costs - cooling costs - management costs. Up to 40% lower power consumption than standard 1U designs Cooling costs, of course, dramatically lower as well

21 idataplex Advantages idataplex dx360 M2 has published leadership SPECpwr of 2066! SPECpwer 2,100 2,000 1,900 1,800 1,844 1,860 1,938 1,977 2,066 1,700 Score 1,600 1,500 1,586 1,400 1,300 1,200 1,100 1,000 HP ProLiant DL360 G6 Dell PowerEdge R610 Dell PowerEdge R710 IBM x3550 M2 IBM x3650 M2 IBM idataplex dx360 M2 Common CPU X5570 Higher is better

22 idataplex Advantages Integration ready IBM preconfigure the idataplex solution at the manufacturing facility Considerations for proper airflow for cooling, mechanical assembly, and in-rack cabling are addressed before the system arrives Even the server management port and the switches IP addresses preconfigured. Just plug it in and start working.

23 idataplex Advantages Modularity and flexibility

24 idataplex Advantages Rack and data center density The unique idataplex design maximizes floor space utilization

25 idataplex Advantages Rack and data center density 100U Rack 16 Vertical slots for PDU and Network switches Regular Enterprise rack have only 4 vertical slots, sometimes not enough for PDUs alone.

26 idataplex Advantages Rack and data center density Power feeds Note: vast majority of the configuration will only require 2 power connection (instead of three in the picture)

27 Rear Door Heat Exchanger Eliminate rack heat exhaust Increase data center density by eliminating hot/cold aisles No electrical or moving parts Chilled water Any Even data without center water-cooling, that uses CRAC the idataplex (computer solution room air is conditioner) still at least 20% systems cooler than already the conventional has chilled rack water approach installed, so integrating this solution is not difficult Provides Up to 115% Heat Extraction, and can even cool the room!

28 idataplex with Data Center CRAC Cooling Hot Aisle Cold Aisle Traditional Data Center Rack Layout Traditional 1U Racks Hot Aisle Traditional 1U Racks Cold Aisle Hot Aisle Traditional 1U Racks Hot Aisle Cold Aisle Traditional 1U Racks The traditional 2520 horizontal rack solution U (servers) will actually 2016 draw horizontal +20% more U (servers cooling, + network for switches + PDU) vertical U (network switches + PDU) Example: 24 x24 data center floor equal cooling only 1536 U can be populated! vertical U (network switches + PDU)

29 idataplex with Rear Door Heat Exchanger Cooling is a significant challenge in the typical RDHx extracts data up center, to 115% of requiring server heat! layout of aisles to ensure proper operating temperatures for the equipment. The RDHx amount extracts of up heat to 115% generated of server heat! by today s servers drives large expenses for cooling, and layouts that don t use floor space efficiently. Traditional Data Center Rack Layout Traditional 1U Racks Hot Aisle Traditional 1U Racks Cold Aisle Traditional 1U Racks Hot Aisle Traditional 1U Racks 3024 horizontal U (servers) vertical U (network switches + PDU) 2016 horizontal U (servers + network switches + PDU) vertical U (network switches + PDU)

30 idataplex Advantages Management One of the biggest advantages. Traditional KVM switches perfectly supported, of course. Most of the costumers use alternative methods Worth a section of its own.

31 idataplex Management A lot more than just hardware!

32 IMM (integrated management Module) Standard in every server RSA-II functionality Full hardware control (Power, monitoring etc.) IPMI 2.0 Web interface

33 IMM (integrated management Module) Alerting (SNMP, , IBM Director) Full Remote console and media (optional) Everything can be done remotely (including OS installation for your desktop CDROM)

34 idataplex Rack Management Appliance Aggregate Service Processor management HTTP,IPMI,SSH MergePoint 5300 IPMI

41 idataplex Potential Costumers

42 idataplex Potential Costumers HPC, Web 2.0, Cloud Academic and scientific costumers Finance Rendering VLSI, EDS, Chip design Power and Floor space sensitive costumers Hosting ISVs QA servers Large Virtualization farms (with the introduction of FCoEE)

43 idataplex in a Standard or Enterprise Rack Enterprise rail kits allow chassis to install into Enterprise rack Cables exit in cold aisle This shows the UCO bundled, but the dongle hanging in front of the HDD s Option PN 46M2943, L1 44W1846 EIA 310D is 483.4mm Cable Bundle Front Door
