“Managing Infinite Data From Every Direction”

•C2G xStream Hyper-Converged Technology leverages switches inside the device chassis to create a fabric for handling heavy loads of east-west network traffic between nodes – common in clouds – and a top-of-rack server-switch that can feed into a spine switch to link racks of machines together.

• Our Micro Blade device is one of the most dense hyperscale systems out there on the market today. The compute in the machine is based on Intel’s eight-core “Avoton” Atom C2000 processors, which pack about the same wallop as a two-socket “Nehalem” server from early 2009 and do so in a much, much smaller thermal envelope. As such, the 6U enclosure has two rows of compute sleds, each with four independent Avoton compute nodes, each with up to 16 GB of memory in two SO-DIMM memory slots, and one 2.5-inch SATA-3 disk or solid state drive. That yields 112 server nodes in the 6U chassis, which is pretty dense as these things go. The Micro Blade is using the Atom C2750, which has eight cores running at 2.4 GHz.

•The back-end of the Micro Blade enclosure has four bays for integrated switches for linking the compute nodes in the chassis to each other and for uplinking to top-of-rack switches. These integrated Micro Blade switches are based on Intel’s “Alta” FM5224 switch chips and they provide a total of 56 downlinks running at 2.5 Gb/sec to the Avoton chips. (Each Avoton chip has four 2.5 Gb/sec ports on its die.)

• The Micro Blade switch modules have two 40 Gb/sec uplinks (with QSFP connectors) to hook the chassis to the top-of-rack switch and these can be broken down with four-to-one splitters into eight 10 Gb/sec SFP+ uplinks. The module has 442 Gb/sec of aggregate switching bandwidth and supports L2 datacenter bridging, converged enhanced Ethernet (which means the ability to support Fibre Channel over Ethernet), and OpenFlow 1.X software-defined networking to separate the control plane from the data plane.
