Sandy Bridge “Ring Bus” Optimizes Platform Data Movement

Ring bus architecture delivers an efficient bi-directional highway for data movement

Compared to Xeon 5500/5600:– Lower L3 cache latency (~20%)– Higher bandwidth between cores, L3, Memory & I/O– Up to 8x more L3 to core bandwidth

Dynamically shared LLC– Each core has 2.5MB / core “slice of LLC– Can be dynamically resized on demand– Disabling a core in UEFI does not disalbe that cores

Power and Thermal Design

Better Power and Thermal design - As data centers grow, power and cooling costs are becoming a larger piece of the IT budget. According to EPA's report to Congress, data centers will account for nearly 3% of total US electricity consumption in 2011. IBM has always been focused on help clients reduce their energy consumption through greater efficiency and innovation.

Choice of 2 Redundant Power supplies that are 80PLUS platinum power (94%) efficiency design

(1) Source: US Environmental Protection Agency – Energy Star Website

Free air cooling support:– X3750 M4 processors models support 5o-40oC– Allow customers to save on cooling costs

Zone Cooling: Six independent FAN modules support 5 Thermal Zones. Each zone will adjust fan speed based on the components and thermal conditions in that zone. This provides optimal temperature within the server without wasting energy

Zone 5

N+N Fan Design: These hot-swap, dual-motor cooling fans help maintain a healthy system temperature by keeping internal components cool. These fans are also low wattage keeping energy costs low and have reduced noise levels

Virtual Fabric for IBM BladeCenterWhat is virtual fabric?

Updated December 22, 2009

Virtual Fabric Adapter

10GbPort

10GbPort

Up to four Virtual NIC ports per 10Gb port

Bandwidth assigned in 100Mb increments

Each is presented as an individual NIC to the operating system

Ability to provide isolation between the vNICs

Planned future virtual converged network adapter (vCNA) with no separate HBA needed

Virtual Fabric 10G Switch

Map vNICs to up to four Virtual Groups per chassis for ease of management

Manage four vGroups per chassis instead of 112 vNICs

Ability to provide isolation between vGroups

vGroup 1

vGroup 2

vGroup 3

vGroup 4

Slice and dice the 10Gb bandwidth any way you want

Multiple virtual ports and protocols from a single physical port

Planned future FCoE upgrade

Ability allocate 100G of uplink bandwidth

Assign virtual groups bandwidths in increments of 10G

VMready can migrate networking characteristics with VM Migration

Management via command line interface, graphical interface, or Open Fabric Manager

IBM BladeCenter Open Fabric ManagerHow it can simplify network management


An integrated server I/O portfolio providing a comprehensive set of interconnects and smart management tools to help you run

your business

Supported across virtually all chassis, blades, and switches

What is IBM BladeCenter Open Fabric Manager?

A software utility in the Advanced Management Module (AMM) that assigns and manages MAC and

WWN addresses for blade deployment and re-deployment for

up to 100 chassis. Optional advanced functions I/O address assignment plus policy based

automation including blade failover pools and triggers event action

plans, and I/O parameter and VLAN migration in case of failover

Blade Deployment– LAN and SAN administrators don’t need to

wait for the hardware to arrive in order to determine the MAC and WWNs to use to configure their networks and storage

– MAC address based IP address assignments can be done ahead of time

– SAN zoning can be done ahead of time– Storage LUN masking can be configured

ahead of time – Storage is assigned to blades based on BOFM WWNs

Blade Replacement– No need to reconfigure LAN/SAN resources

when a blade is replaced – SAN zoning and LUN masking is un-affected

– Replacement blades in the same slots retain the BOFM supplied MAC and WWN addresses

Automated Blade failover– No need to reconfigure LAN/SAN resources in

order to support automated blade failover– BOFM Advanced Upgrade automatically

moves the BOFM supplied MAC and WWN addresses from the failed blade to the spare blade so that all LAN/SAN resources and visible to the spare blade immediately

– Optional VLAN configuration on blade ethernet switch modules is also automatically updated so that the spare blade can access the same VLANs as the failed blade

Power Supply

What is Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA)?–Component analysis logic that can predict

an impending failure based on data from the component

–Typically notification is within 24 to 48 hours of a potential failure

Benefits–Less unscheduled downtime–Better overall availability of the servers–Components can be replaced under

warranty prior to a failure

Component

Note: PFA capability shown is typical, and varies by vendor and server model

IBM Calibrated Vectored CoolingProvides more efficient cooling for greater density and more internal components


Bezel Design

What is Calibrated Vectored Cooling?– Innovative thermal design that optimizes air intake, fan placement and zone

cooling technologies to maximize the air flow inside the server for optimal cooling efficiency

Benefits– More function in a smaller design– Allows greater internal scalability as heat dissipates more efficiently– Components run at cooler operating temperatures, resulting in improved

reliability

Technologies– Integrated, holistic server design (i.e. planar and mechanical designed together)– Advanced thermal testing and design (i.e. airflow modeling and optimization)– Isolated zone cooling– Fan technologies (i.e. counter rotating fans, variable speed fans)– Vapor chamber heat sinks
