The basic 4U architecture incorporates blade server advantages, allowing you to
configure one to four nodes flexibly.
The server nodes combine high-performance computing and large storage to support
various application scenarios, such as distributed and software-defined storage.
The X6800 provides computing density twice that of a conventional 1U rack server and
four times that of a conventional 2U rack server in a rack, which improves space
utilization in equipment rooms.
The X6800 provides storage density twice that of a conventional 2U rack server in a
rack. When fully configured with 4U4 server nodes (each node occupies two slots in a
chassis), a cabinet supports up to 480 3.5-inch hard disks.
A cabinet supports a maximum of 40 dual-slot storage server nodes, 80 processors, and
80 TB memory capacity.
The X6800 uses the integrated baseboard management controller (iBMC) and Hyper
management module (HMM) to implement unified management. By incorporating
advantages of rack and blade servers, the X6800 allows nodes to be maintained from the
front of the cabinet and supports both front and rear cabling. This meets deployment
requirements of traditional equipment rooms (requiring rear cabling) and new equipment
rooms (requiring front cabling) and facilitates maintenance of the cool wind area.
