Intel Redefines Servers For Growing SMBs...
The 6U Modular Server from Intel is built for simple, mostly toolless assembly and maintenance, with up to six "compute modules" running down the right, hot-swappable drive bays on the left, and the whole enclosure bonded together with an active backplane. Each of the compute nodes features an Intel motherboard based on the 5000P chipset. This enables up to 32GB of ECC memory and support for a pair of Xeon processors up to the 1333MHz front side bus 5400 series. That's eight cores per module accompanied by two Gigabit Ethernet ports, four with an optional mezzanine card, a PCI Express x8 slot, and integrated remote management hardware. The modular Server comes in both 14x2.5" as well as 6x3.5" drive configurations.
Behind the backplane, the Modular Server's storage module integrates a SAS expander and hardware accelerated RAID (levels 0 through 60) controller. Essentially, this is a SAS-based SAN contained within the Modular Server. System admins can create as many virtual drive volumes as they like and direct each server node to any given volume. If a server needs to be swapped out, simply remove the old node and insert the new one; the Modular Server automatically maps the replacement to the proper virtual drive.
Finally, the Modular Server ships with two 1000W hot-swappable power supplies and can hold up to four. You deploy these for N+1 redundancy, meaning that if you have two servers running with a total enclosure draw of, say, 600W you could run comfortably from one power supply with a second redundant standing by. With all six servers in play, you would need three PSUs with a fourth redundant.
