Atom-Powered Cloud Computing Server

Monday, June 14th, 2010

SeaMicro Launches an Atom-Powered Cloud Computing Server with 512 Atom processors in a 10u rack mounted unit. Thanks to clever engineering, the company has fit eight server processors into a card smaller than a sheet of paper and hundreds of chips into a space usually occupied by less than a dozen.

If you want to run an Oracle database or an OLTP server, then stick to a Xeon machine. But if you want to just serve up pages, “your calculator can do that,” said CEO Andrew Feldman. “You don’t need aggressive branch prediction and all these tricks that the microprocessor industry has brought in to wring additional performance out of processors.”

The SM10000 High Density, Low Power Cloud Server
Uses ¼ the power and takes ¼ the space of today’s best in class volume server. Designed to replace 40 1 RU servers, the SM10000 integrates 512 independent ultra low power processors, top rack switching, load balancing, and server management in a single 10 RU system. >

* 512 1.6 GHz Intel Atom CPUs in 10 RU; 2,048 CPUs/rack
* 1.28 Terabit interconnect fabric
* Up to 64 1 Gbps or 16 10 Gbps uplinks
* 0-64 SATA SSD/Hard disk
* Integrated load balancing, Ethernet switching, and server management
* Uses less than 2 KW of power
* Full List of Hardware Specifications

Ingram Micro Has New Cloud Conduit Initiative

Monday, June 14th, 2010

Ingram Micro announced the Cloud Conduit Initiative at Cloud Summit. A new services initiative that connects Ingram Micro’s North America channel partners with cloud computing vendors including ISVs, cloud hosting companies and system integrators.

Part of this new initiative will be  three new relationships with cloud hosting companies Amazon Web Services, Rackspace Hosting and Salesforce.com.

“The blending of the managed IT services model and cloud computing is an evolutionary step in the advancement of IT services,” said Jason Beal, director, service sales, Ingram Micro North America. “Cloud computing introduces a new playing field for solution providers and managed service providers. With the advent of cloud computing comes tremendous opportunity for our channel partners to add high value managed solutions and services from the cloud into their services portfolio and ultimately earn more business. Ingram Micro introduced the Cloud Conduit to help our channel partners take advantage of and maximize the business opportunities the cloud brings to the table.”

As part of the Cloud Conduit initiative, Ingram Micro wants to provide better cloud hosting products to everyone around the globe.  “We created the Cloud Conduit Advisory Council to establish a common ground for the IT industry’s cloud innovators to share their vision, seek new alliances and drive greater visibility into the opportunity, challenges and benefits that cloud computing brings to the IT channel at large,” said Justin Crotty, vice president, services, Ingram Micro North America. “Together we will further enable our channel partners to clearly articulate and demonstrate the benefits of cloud computing to their customers.”
