Huawei Introduces New FusionServer Products at SC14

November 17, 2014

NEW ORLEANS, La., Nov. 17 — Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, today announced US availability of its FusionServer X6800 Data Center Server and a liquid cooled version of its FusionServer E9000 blade server at Supercomputing 2014 (SC14). Huawei will also demonstrate a wide array of next-generation server, storage and networking products in Booth 550 at SC14, which runs from November 17-20.

“Historically, the main challenges of HPC have been computational performance, memory and storage improvement, simplified installation and deployment,” said Jun Xu, Vice President of Marketing for Huawei Enterprise USA. “At SC14 we will be showcasing products that help solve these challenges and meet the requirements of intelligent system management and green energy efficiency for mission-critical applications such as databases, virtualization, business intelligence (BI), and HPC.”

The Huawei FusionServer X6800 is a next-generation data center server optimized to support all business in one solution. This X6800 provides a broad portfolio of server nodes to flexibly meet elastic configuration requirements of differentiated services for computing, storage, and I/O resources. It also supports simplified system management and efficient operation and maintenance (O&M). The X6800 is ideal for various service applications such as – cloud computing, big data, and HPC applications – and is an optimal choice for the IT infrastructure of cloud data centers.

Huawei’s latest version of its FusionServer E9000 blade server now comes with a cutting-edge heat dissipation design and fully redundant architecture, ensuring energy efficiency and high reliability. The E9000’s industry-leading hardware computing platform improves competitiveness based on its availability, computing density, energy consumption, low emissions, midplane bandwidth, intelligent management and services, elastic configuration, flexible computing and storage expansion capabilities, low network latency, and acceleration functions.

Huawei will also conduct demonstrations on its latest ICT innovations at SC14, including:

  • Huawei RH5885H V3 — a standard 4U 4-socket rack server that supports four Intel Xeon E7-4800 v2 processors. To meet the requirements of mission-critical applications such as databases, virtualization, BI, and HPC, the RH5885H V3 provides up to 60 computing cores and a memory capacity of up to 6 TB.
  • HUAWEI RH2288 V3 — a new-generation 2U dual-socket rack server that supports up to two Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 processors. It provides flexible resource expansion capabilities as well as high computing performance. It is an ideal choice for Internet, big data, cloud computing, HPC, and enterprise key applications.

Huawei will be located at Booth 550 at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in the New Orleans. Executives and product specialists will be on hand to share their insight on HPC.
