ODCC Scorpio Multi-node

Server for OPNFV Open Software on Open Hardware

Agenda

• Introduction of ODCC

• Scorpio Multi-node Server

• OPNFV Releases and Installer

• Run OPNFV Danube on ODCC Scorpio Multi-node Server

• Open Software on Open Hardware

Introduction of ODCC

• Open Data Center Committee (ODCC) is co-founded by Baidu, Tencent, Alibaba, China Telecom, China Mobile, Intel, China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT). It is a non-profit industrial organization, focusing on researching open hardware such as server, data center and open network technologies to meet the growing demand on hardware in Chinese market.

The Market of High Density Servers

• Blue Column – Shipment (10K)

• Red Column – Sale (100M$)

Why Multi-Node Server

We are looking for the High Density Servers:

• 2x2.5’ SSD + 12x3.5’ HDD

• All disks can be hot-plugged

• Higher density Rack, support 7kw+ power

• 2x10GE + individual IPMI port

• At least 1 PCIe slot

• 19’ Standard Rack

Why Multi-Node Server

• Conclusion: - No ready-made product, we need to

customize

- 4U chassis and vertical nodes is a reasonable design

- Since we design storage nodes, why don’t we make compute nodes at the same time?

But not every data center is so amazing

• Scorpio Multi-node server

– It has both the rack level server’s high-density and energy-saving advantages

– It has higher scalability

– It makes the application deployment more flexible

– It fits different data centers: central or edge data center, standard rack, more or less power supply

– It makes budgeting easier: large business or small business

Energy-saving Compare

the energy-saving percentages, multi-node server vs. general server

Average value is 7.9% Average value is 4.3%

Scorpio Multi-node Server

• Products designed by 3 major supplies

• Variable specification: different hard disks, nics

• The shipment is more than 10K

• Customers: public cloud, private cloud, telecom operators, financial clients

Scorpio Multi-node Server: from v1.0 to v1.5

• Multi-node server

– more than one server

– multi-functional

– multi-application

• Successful application cases

– Virtualization
