Overcoming Space and Power Limitations in HPC Data Centers

In companies of all sizes, critical applications are being adopted to accelerate product development, make forecasts based on predictive models, enhance business operations, and improve customer engagements. As a result, there is a growing need for Big Data analytics in many businesses, more sophisticated and more granular modeling and simulation, wide-spread adoption of AI (and the need to train neural nets), and new applications such as the use of genomic analysis in clinical settings and personalized medicine. These applications generate workloads that overwhelm the capacity of most installed data center server systems. Simply put, today’s compute-intensive workloads require access to significant HPC resources. Challenges bring HPC to the Mainstream Many of today’s new and critical business applications are pushing the limits of traditional data centers. As a result, most companies that previously did not need HPC capabilities, now find such processing power is required to stay competitive. Unfortunately, several problems prevent this from happening. When attempting to upgrade infrastructure, most organizations face inherent data center limitations with space and power. Specifically, many data centers lack the physical space to increase compute capacity significantly. And all organizations incur high electricity costs to run and cool servers, while some data centers have power constraints that cannot be exceeded. Additionally, there is lack of internal HPC expertise. IT staff may not have the knowledge base to determine which HPC elements (including processors, memory, storage, power, and interconnects) are best for the organization’s workloads or the expertise to carry out HPC system integration and optimization. These skills have not been required in mainstream business applications until now. As a result, most organizations need help when selecting an HPC solution to ensure it is the right match for the organization’s compute requirements and budget constraints, and one that fits into an existing data center. Selecting the Right Technology Partner Traditional clusters consisting of commodity servers and storage will not run the compute-intensive workloads being introduced into many companies today. Fortunately, HPC systems can be assembled using the newest generation of processors, high-performance memory, high-speed interconnect technologies, and high-performance storage device like NVMe SSDs. However, to address data center space and power issues, an appropriate solution must deliver not just HPC capabilities, but the most compute power per watt in a densely packed enclosure. To achieve this, it makes sense to find a technology partner with deep HPC experience who can bring together optimized systems solutions with rack hardware integration and software solution engineering to deliver ultimate customer satisfaction. This is an area where Super Micro Computer, Inc. can help. Supermicro® has a wide-range of solutions to meet the varying HPC requirements found in today’s organizations. At the heart of its HPC offerings are the SuperBlade® and MicroBlade™ product lines, which are advanced high-performance, density-optimized, and energy-efficient solutions for scalable resource-saving HPC applications. Both lines offer industry-leading performance, density, and energy efficiency. They support the option of BBP® (Battery Backup Power modules), so the systems provide extra protection to the data centers when a power outage or UPS failure occurs. This feature is ideal for critical workloads, ensuring uptime in the most demanding situations. SuperBlade and MicroBlade solutions are offered in several form factors (8U, 6U, 4U, 3U) to meet the various compute requirements in different business environments. At the high end of the spectrum, there is the 8U SuperBlade: SBE-820C series enclosure supports 20x 2-socket (Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor) blade servers with 40 hot-plug NVMe SSDs or 10x 4-socket (Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor) blade servers with 80 hot-plug NVMe SSDs, 100Gbps EDR InfiniBand or 100Gbps Intel Omni-Path switch, and 2x 10GbE switches. This SKU is best for HPC, enterprise-class applications, cloud computing, and compute-intensive applications. SBE-820J series enclosure supports 20x 2-socket (Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor) blade servers with 40 hot-plug NVMe SSDs or 10x 4-socket (Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor) blade servers with 80 hot-plug NVMe SSDs, and 4x Ethernet switches (25GbE/10GbE). This SKU is similar to the SKU above, except it is built to operate at 25G/10G Ethernet instead of 100G InfiniBand or Omni-Path. This solution is most suitable for HPC workloads in IT environments that leverage Ethernet switches with 40G or 100G uplinks. The 8U SuperBlade offering includes the highest density x86 based servers that can support up to 205W Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor. One Supermicro customer at a leading semiconductor equipment company is using 8U SuperBlade systems for HPC applications with 120x 2-socket (Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor) blade servers per rack. This allows the company to save a significant amount of space and investment dollars in its data center. Supermicro solutions helped a Fortune 50 Company scale its processing capacity to support its rapidly growing compute requirements. To address space limitations and power consumption issues, the company deployed over 75,000 Supermicro MicroBlade disaggregated, Intel® Xeon® processor-based servers at its Silicon Valley data center. Both SuperBlade and MicroBlade are equipped with advanced airflow and thermal design and can support free-air cooling. As a result, this data center is one of the world’s most energy efficient with a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of 1.06. Compared to a traditional data center running at 1.49 PUE, this new Silicon Valley data center powered by Supermicro blade servers achieves an 88 percent improvement in overall energy efficiency. When the build-out is complete at a 35 megawatt IT load power, the company is targeting $13.18M in savings per year in total energy costs across the entire data center.

Big Mike is going to make HPE's life a living Dell: Server sales surge

@Dell is set to overtake @HPE and become the number-one server vendor in terms of revenue and unit shipment numbers, according to IDC. Meanwhile, @Lenovo's server shipments are under severe pressure. IDC's third-quarter Worldwide Quarterly Server Tracker has two tables and a chart showing what's going on. Here's the server vendor revenues table: Advertisement HPE is the leading named vendor by revenue share. But look at the right-hand column showing the year-on-year growth, with HPE's sales slipping back 1.1 per cent on the third quarter of 2016, and Dell's rising 37.9 per cent. If this keeps up, @MichaelDell 's tech titan could overtake HPE in revenue next quarter. The server market as a whole grew 19.9 per cent in terms of dollars pocketed. @IBM outgrew it with a 26.5 percent surge in revenue, attributable to its z mainframe refresh. Cisco booked a 6.9 per cent growth, while Lenovo slumped 12.6 per cent, again all according to the beancounters at IDC. The ODMs – original design manufacturers aka generic white-box shifters selling to the cloud hyperscalers – outgrew everybody with a 45.3 per cent rise in revenues. ODMs and the "others" accounted for the top two revenue gulpers, with HPE next and then Dell. IDC has charted the revenue market share changes over the past few quarters: What can we glean from this? ODMs and "others" have overtaken HPE and, now, Dell is set to do the same. It is not growing as strongly as the ODM group, and looks to be edging closer to the "others" category. HPE is taking a beating. Cisco, Lenovo and IBM are far behind the leaders, and have no realistic hope if catching up. Indeed, IBM may fall back as its mainframe refresh cycle completes. Next up is the unit ship table for the same period: Although it has labeled the top five vendors, IDC has kindly included six of them. The market grew at 11.1 per cent, in terms of units shipped, and Dell grew at 11.2 per cent to 503,000 servers, we're told. HPE's total was close at 501,400 but it fell back 1.7 per cent, reflecting its withdrawal from the hyperscale mass market. Lenovo, Inspur, Supermicro and Huawei are all in the five to six per cent area, with ODM at 25 per cent and 668,000 units, growing at an astonishing 44.7 per cent, and "others" at 16 per cent with 428,000. Lenovo fell back 33.1 per cent, and is another supplier taking a beating. Inspur grew 37.9 per cent, Supermicro 24.8 per cent, and Huawei just 4.2 per cent. Dell, Inspur and Supermicro have growing server businesses; none of the other server vendors in this chart do in any meaningful way. It is only one quarter, and hyperscalers buy large numbers of servers in an irregular fashion so the ODMs may not fare so well next quarter. Advertisement Too long, didn't read summary HPE and Lenovo are not doing so well in the server business, with both companies needing to make drastic changes if they are to halt declines and start growing. HPE is still a large volume shipper. Lenovo's foray into x86 servers via buying IBM's x86 business is looking like it might have been a mistake. ®

White boxer is a white racker: Supermicro touts Rack Scale Design

Building servers, switches and storage are a good racket for ODM #Supermicro but building #Vblock-like rack scale systems is an even better one. It has launched a complete #RackScale Design system using its server and storage building blocks in standard racks, with multiple rack PODs. Supermicro first talked about its RSD ideas in March. Rack Scale Design (RSD) supports #Intel Xeon SP-based X11 generation and all existing X10 generation server and storage systems, as well as Supermicro networking products. It introduces pooled NVMe storage shared by multiple application hosts over PCI-E interconnects. RSD building blocks share power and cooling resources to provide the claimed best PUE metrics in large scale data centre deployments. Supermicro says customers need to able to put together racks of gear - servers, storage and networking, more easily. Its RSD is pre-packaged, pre-validated, and built on an open standards-based architecture with API-driven Redfish management. It's integrated with data centre management software layers such as #OpenStack

Ultra NVMe,BigTwin,TwinPro,FatTwin,SuperBlade servers,SuperStorage servers,Supermicro 1G, 10G, 25G and 100G Ethernet switches,SuperRack technologies.

The Supermicro Rack Management Module (SRMM) is based on Redfish APIs (and Intel's RSD) and works with Supermicro's POD Manager to speed deployment and make data centre management easier, according to Supermicro. We're told pools of compute, storage and networking across racks can be managed as physical servers, storage arrays and switches are managed now.

Supermicro says that, with RSD, many application hosts can share and dynamically compose systems to support wide range of workloads with a balanced computing, networking and storage ratio.

The company thinks data centres are having to change to cope with application sets needing more data storage and better access to the data, meaning more drives in less physical space, faster drives and faster access to them; shared NVMe drives and PCIe connections to the host servers.

Charles Liang, Supermicro’s President and CEO, said that RSD includes a 1U enclosure with 32 hot-swap NVMe SSDs inside it, claiming this is “unrivalled density

The customer types in mind are cloud service providers, telecoms and Fortune 500 companies. We should understand, Supermicro says, that RSD technology provides a foundation to build future infrastructure for both data centre and cloud environments.

Future RSD releases are planned to support other PCIe end point devices, such as FPGAs, and help data centre operators to programmatically control software-defined data centres from bare metal to cloud-native applications
