8 Modular UP(uni-processor) Server Nodes in 3U
3U8 Workgroup Server is a high-density, multi-node UP server with 8/16 hot-pluggable nodes
and 16 hot-swappable HDDs in a compact 3U form factor. Each independent
node supports an Intel® Xeon® E3-1200 processor and a PCI-E 2.0 x8
expansion slot. MicroCloud integrates advanced technologies within a
compact functional design to deliver high performance in environments
with space and power limitations. The entire system is designed with
efficiency in mind from its ease of maintenance to its high-efficiency,
redundant Platinum Level (94%+) power modules. These combined features
provide a compelling, cost-effective solution for IT professionals
implementing new hosting architectures for SMB and Public/Private Cloud
Computing applications.
Benefits
High Density, High Performance, and Cost Effective
The 3U8 Workgroup Server provies 8 modular serever nodes conveniently integrated into a compact 3U chassis that is only 23" deep. THese cable-free, hot pluggable server noes operate independently.
Each node is powered by an Intel Xeon E3-1200 processor and provides up to 32GB of ECC DDR3 1333MHz UDIMM memory, one PCI-E 2.0 x8 expansion slot for low-profile add-on card, and two 3.5" SATA 3.0 hard disk drives.
High Efficiency, Easy-to-Service, Space Saving
The 3U8 Workgroup Server utilises redundant 1620W Platinum Level high-efficiency power supplies and sophisticated cooling zone controls for a Green energy profile. The 8 nodes provide easy access for efficient servicing, and the high density per node saves valuable data center space.
Optimized for Cloud Computing and Web 2.0
The 3U8 Workgroup Server are effective in cloud computing, data center, web hosting, and virtualisation environments.
Remote Management
All Compucon servers are integrated with out-of-band hardware that
allows remote KVM-over-IP (Internet) management. What this means is that
repairs and maintenance can be carried out proactively by Compucon or
your preferred IT solutions provider with reduced time and travelling
costs as we can remotely monitor and work on your server when
required. Utilising industry-standard IPMI management, Compucon or your
IT consultant can proactively monitor your server's health and react to
potential issues before your systems go down.
Key Features (per node)
1. Intel® Xeon® processor E3-1200 family; socket H2 (LGA 1155)
2. 2x 3.5" Hot-swap SATA3 (6 Gbps)
3. 1x (x8) PCI-E 2.0 low-profile slot
4. Up to 32GB DDR3 ECC UDIMM 1333/1066MHz Memory support; 2 channels
5. 2x Intel 82580DB GbE LAN ports
6. 1x Dedicated LAN for IPMI Remote Management
7. 4x 8cm Heavy duty fans with optimal cooling zone
8. 1620W Redundant 80Plus Platinum Level power supplies

The Compucon 2U8 Atom Twin is based on the dual-core Intel Atom D525 1.8 GHz. Each node also
supports 4 GB of non-ECC DDR3-800 SO-DIMMs, dual Gigabit Ethernet LAN, 2
USB ports, IPMI 2.0 with virtual media over LAN support, and 3x 2.5”
SATA hot-swap HDDs.
Compucon extends its lead in the 2U4 Platinum Server formerly known as 2U Twin with 2U8 Atom Twin hat includes eight hot-pluggable Intel® Atom™ Dual-Core processor nodes
in a 2U form factor (two nodes per single hot-swap unit). Each node
also supports 4 GB of non-ECC DDR3-800 MHz SO-DIMM, dual Gigabit
Ethernet LAN, 2 USB ports, IPMI 2.0 with virtual media over LAN and
KVM-over-LAN support, and 3x 2.5" SATA hot-swap HDDs. The system also
includes (1+1) redundant 720W Gold Level power supplies with PMBus, and
four heavy-duty fans with optimized fan speed controls.
The 2U8 Atom eight-node system is optimized for high-density and low-power environments such as cost-effective data centers, industrial process control, small offices, web proxy servers or cache servers.
Benefits
- Optimized HPC and Datacenter Rackmount Server Solutions
- Up to 6 hot-pluggable 3.5" HDDs per 1U node (12x 3.5" HDDs total)
- Hot-pluggable, cable-less Xeon® DP nodes (2U Twin2™ and 2U Twin)
- Up to 192 GB of Reg. ECC DDR3 memory in 12 DIMMs
- QDR or DDR InfiniBand connectivity options
- Redundant Gold Level power supplies
- High-efficiency serverboard VRMs (90%+) and cooling subsystem designs
- Onboard IPMI 2.0 + KVM with dedicated LAN
The 2U8 Atom Twin is a unique server system. With eight system boards incorporated into a single chassis acting as eight separate nodes, there are several points you should keep in mind.
-
Nodes - Each of the serverboards act as a separate node in the system. With two nodes housed in each of four hot-swap trays, two may be powered off and on without affecting the others. In addition, each tray with its two nodes is a hot-swappable unit that may be removed from the rear of the chassis. The nodes are connected to the server backplane by means of an adapter card.
-
System Power - The server has an additional 720W power supply module (two total) for power redundancy. If a power supply module fails the other backup module will keep the system running until it can be replaced.
-
SATA Backplane/Drives - As a system, the 2015TA-HTRF supports the use of 24 SATA drives. A single backplane works to apply system-based control for power and fan speed functions, yet at the same time logically connects a set of three drives to each serverboard. Consequently, RAID setup is limited to a three-drive scheme (RAID cannot be spread across all 24 drives).

We presented our system roadmap at the Tech Briefing event in June. We would like to repeat the key info here for a wider dissemination and to add a couple of new developments that are taking place in July. The situation is not a tsunami, but it is not plain sailing either. For example a non-event in June has become a disturbing event in July.
The system roadmap is largely guided by releases of new platforms by Intel and AMD. Sandy Bridge is so far the biggest release this year, and we have since evolved Superhawk (P67), Diamond Plus (H61) and Onyx Multimedia (H61) to Sandy Bridge. Intel will complete the release cycle later this year with X79 and C600 for top end desktop (Superhawk Plus) and dual Xeon (Platinum) systems respectively.
We have assessed Z68 which was a new member of the Sandy Bridge platform family released by Intel in June. We came to the opinion that it was a platform with no obvious market position to take. Z68 supports integrated GPU as well as discrete GPU but users can use either one only and not both. Customers would be better off with Superhawk (P67) for discrete graphics or Diamond Plus (H61) for integrated graphics. We rated Z68 a non-event. Our stance could have been heard. The big players will make Z68 an event in the very near future. We are still talking to the big boys about this matter at the time of this newsletter publication.
AMD will release APU anytime now, and it promises to bring integrated graphics to a new height. Furthermore, this new platform is capable of combining the strength of integrated graphics and discrete graphics card. It will make a splash on the market. APU has a different socket to Phenom, Athlon and Sempron. When Thunderbird has evolved to APU, Jasper will be the only platform for AMD legacy CPU versions.
The most recent Compucon system update came from Onyx surprisingly. We have upgraded Onyx Basic from Atom D510 (single core) to Atom D525 (dual cores). Onyx is our small form factor system with 17litres of volume. It has a wall or frame or desk mounting bracket option.
We attempt to go beyond Onyx as another project ambition. It would be similar to E-PC in size but it will use standard components and it will be suitable for 8x7operations as the design conditions. This is still a task in progress without a defined completion date.
Staying on the small form factor agenda, we have Short 1U systems that are actually smaller than the drawers of our office desk. They are powered by Atoms and Celeron respectively.
