Huge amount of information is generated from our life. To utilize such information for our business or our life, various data processing is required to computer systems. The new generation technology to address data processing diversification is called 'Composable Disaggregated Infrastructure (CDI)'.
PRIMERGY CDI is constituted of high-quality, reliable PC server PRIMERGY, GPU by NVIDIA®/storage which are disaggregated into hardware resource pool shared via high-speed fabric and exclusive software to manage them. PRIMERGY CDI enables efficient operations and maximizes resource utilization by flexibly deploying and releasing resources according to customer workloads.
* PRIMERGY CDI (V1) is available only in APAC and Japan regions.
Our Commitment
Automatic Optimization Technology
Dynamically assemble logical servers with embedded high-performance GPUs as needed. Reduce power consumption of overall system.
Use of Standard Technology
Standard technology for container infrastructure will be used*. Effective use of existing application resources will become possible.
*Scheduled for 2024
Large-scale Parallel Technology
Technology developed in supercomputers which realizes workload separation, identification of fault location and maintainability is implemented.
Product Configuration
| Minimum Configuration | Maximum Configuration | |
|---|---|---|
| Management Server *1 + Compose Manager for CDI | 1 | 1 |
| Controller Appliance for CDI | 1 | 1 |
| PCIe Fabric Switch (48port) for CDI | 0 | 1 *2 |
| PCIe Box (PCIe x10) for CDI | 1 | 3 *2 |
| Compute Server (RX2530 M7 or RX2540 M7) + PCIe HBA Card for CDI | 1 *3 | 6 *4 |
| PCIe Device *5 | 1 *6 | 30 *6 |
- *1Management server in the figure is an example of configuration with PRIMERGY RX1330 M5.
- *2PCIe fabric switch (48port) for CDI is extensible up to 2 units. In this case, number of PCIe BOX (PCIe x10) for CDI is limited up to 2 units.
- *3In case of minimum configuration, compute server is extensible up to 4 units.
- *4Compute server is extensible up to 16 units by using 2 units of PCIe fabric switch (48port) for CDI. However, the possible configurations are limited. Please refer to PRIMERGY CDI system configuration manual and related documents for details.
- *5For details of support PCIe devices, please refer to system configuration figure and related documents.
- *6Up to 10 PCIe devices can be installed per PCIe Box. At least 1 SSD is needed for the system.
- *7This figure does not show the minimum/maximum configurations in the table on the right. For more information, please refer to the documents below on this page.
From the minimum configuration of 1 PCIe device to the maximum configuration of up to 30 PCIe devices, PRIMERGY CDI offers a variety of configurations based on customer requirements. For details, please refer to the PRIMERGY CDI system configuration manual and related documents.
In addition, for detailed information on configurations, options, peripheral equipment, etc. , please refer to the PRIMERGY CDI System Configurator via the link below.
Technological Strength we cultivated over many years
A lot of technologies and know-how which we developed over many years are used in PRIMERGY CDI. For example, up to 20 PCIe devices (i.e. GPU) can be connected to 1 compute server at once, which cannot be achieved by installing a PCIe HBA card in regular PRIMERGY model. Not only hardware but also software and firmware design technologies are gathered to realize this.
And also, PRIMERGY CDI realizes high performance in addition to reduction of initial cost and power consumption. Please refer to white paper for details.

PRIVATE CLOUD
As various workloads on public cloud are supported, convenience equivalent to public cloud can be realized while ensuring security.
EDGE CLOUD
By combination of 5G network and edge cloud, PRIMERGY CDI can follow the rapid changes and realize high-speed and low-latency service continuity even in the environment with dynamic load changes, such as sports events.
BIG DATA ANALYSIS
For example, gather multiple GPUs in 1 compute server while AI training, allocate 1 GPU to each compute server while AI inference. In this way, configuration by component is possible. This enables efficiency even in systems that integrate multiple uses.
