Scale out Servers

PRIMERGY Cloud eXtension Server

New Cloud Server Infrastructure Platform for Scale-Out Data Centers Scale Big - Spend Small

The demand for aggregated data center compute capacity is continuously rising. This is especially true for companies using new and emerging technologies such as Web 2.0, SOA architectures, Virtualization, and Cloud Computing to enlarge their current business processes or provide new ways of delivering “IT as a service” to their internal or external clients.

For High Performance Computing (HPC), the use of hundreds of parallel processing x86 server units, running parallel application programs for physical modeling, forecasting and scientific research in a combined cluster has already become a de facto design standard.

Hosting providers deliver various services and hosting models to different client segments, based on x86 technology combined with virtualization and associated service levels, that are based upon scale-out computing farms of hundreds or thousands of x86 servers.

Large enterprises are starting their cloud computing initiatives, setting up their private cloud scenarios to test-drive the cloud computing software technologies and the promoted benefits. Other enterprises are already implementing public cloud services to expand or create new business models with “xxx as a service” offerings.
