| With PRIMERGY RX900 S2, the highspeed Intel Quickpath QPI link architecture is used to enable seamless 8-socket scalability using the new Intel® Xeon® E7-8800 processor family with up to 10 cores per CPU. The result is a new scale-up server, that sets a new performance reach achievable with x86 rack server technology. Compared to latest generation 4 socket Xeon servers, the new RX900 S2 with Intel Xeon processor E7-8800 product family scales up to 80 processor cores and 160 threads - a double-up in number of cores and threads per system. Combined with the massive memory capacity using up to 128 memory DIMM sockets, the RX900 S2 truly constitutes a new 8 socket x86 performance class which starts where the 4-socket x86 server reach is ending up. | This comprehensive portfolio expansion will give you the opportunity to benefit from extreme scale-up performance and reliability of PRIMERGY industry standard servers in datacenter scenarios that so far had been closed for x86 servers. RX900 S2 is driving the x86 price performance benefits into to the segments of proprietary UNIX bastions. |
| RX900 S2 provides linear scalability by simultaneously expanding I/O capacity, memory capacity and CPU performance, once upgrading the system with combined CPU/Memory boards. Not only will CPU performance scale up in line with additional 16 memory slots per configurable board. With Intel QPI link technology, a fully populated 8 CPU system will have 4 activated I/O hubs, providing aggregated peak I/O bandwidth of more than 100 GByte/s. The two onboard 10 Gigabit Ethernet controllers plus 6 x 1000 baseT onboard Ethernet ports ensure ample IP network bandwidth from the very start. | Linear scalability ensures for efficient growth in CPU/ Memory and I/O capacities. Irrespective of the server usage as Database, ERP, Decision Support or Virtualization system- once additional processor/memory boards are added to the system, the performance gains will equally benefit from the incremental I/O resources activated in the same step. |
| The new PRIMERGY RX900 S2 packs its scalability for 8 socket performance, 16 x PCIe slots, up to 128 memory sockets on 8 CPU/Memory boards, and 2+1 or 2+2 power supply redundancy features into a space saving 8U rack unit. Starting with a 4 socket basic configuration, it enables to scale up the system to its upper limits, inside the same chassis and without having to modify the rack infrastructure. | This system is designed to enable for scale-up growth as necessities dictate. Due to the “glueless” system design with latest Intel QPI link architecture, all scale up performance upgrades are “inside” the RX900 S2 system. Thus scale-up with PRIMERGY RX900 S2 does not need addition of external boxes or controllers that would necessarily change and re-arrange the given infrastructure of a datacenter rack setup and thus cause unwanted additional downtimes. |
| Advanced Memory Mirroring, ECC and SDDC memory protection, hot-plug redundant fans, hot-plug power supplies ( 2+1 and 2+2 redundancy), up to 8 x hot-plug SAS /SATA hard disks and hot-plug PCIe slots, integrated RAID controller LocalView display and integrated Baseboard Management Controller, new RAS features of Intel Xeon processor E7-8800 product family enable for enhanced error correction/circumvention activities with support of the Operating systems | New RAS features have been built in to the Intel Xeon processor E7-8800 product family to enable advanced actions for error circumvention, assisted by the enterprise x86 operating systems. This perfectly combines with the built in High Availabilty features of the RX900 S2 platform. The result is an IT business platform that provides unprecedented operational continuity and more value for money in the high end server range. |
