GEMINI TWIN SERVER
MERCURY RACKMOUNT SERIES:
Two nodes and 16 cores in a competitively priced 1U Server Configuration
iXsystems introduces the iX12X2 and the iX12X2-10G models in the Gemini
Twin Server class. The iX12X2 and the iX12X2-10G deliver next
generation rackmount server technology in a 1U, power efficient, rack
dense chassis with 4 or 8 hot swap drive bays. The superior processing
power density and performance/watt of the iX12X2 and the iX12X2-10G
makes them ideal solutions for high-performance computing (HPC) cluster
nodes, web servers, or rendering node clusters. They also offer the
highest number of CPU cores per rack. The iX12X2-10G features 10G
ethernet in addition to dual GigE LAN on each node.
The iX12X2 and the iX12X2-10G are leading edge technology solutions
that provide high performance, high efficiency, and high density at the
lowest possible total cost of ownership. Both systems are designed to
optimize system power by utilizing shared power supplies, in addition
to low energy consumption motherboards, components, and cooling
sub-system designs.
The Gemini Twin Server Class was developed as part of our "Open Source
Hardware Design" process. Open Source Hardware design refers to our
carefully crafted server product line, designed and manufactured to
ensure operating system and cross-platform compatibility, while
providing best in class performance and reliability for any business
requirement.
Features of the iX12X2 include the following:
- Two systems/nodes in a 1U form factor
- Each node supports up to two Intel Xeon Dual/Quad-Core CPUs and up to 1600 Mhz Front Side Bus
- Total of four hot-swap SATA drives, 16 cores, and 16FBDIMM,
or up to 128 GB memory in a 1U form factor (Per node: Two hot-swap SATA drives and 8 FBDIMM slots provide up to 64 GB memory
per node).
- 800 Mhz 1.5 volt FBDIMM memory
- A 980-watt high efficiency (90%+) power supply is shared by
both nodes to optimize the utilization level and increase energy savings.
- Remote and Lights Out Management w/IP-KVM, SOL via IPMI 2.0
Features of the iX12X2-10G include the following:
- Two systems/nodes in a 1U form factor
- Each node supports up to two Intel Xeon Dual/Quad-Core CPUs and up to 1333 Mhz Front Side BusTotal of eight hot-swap drives, 16 cores, and 12 DIMM
slots, or up to 96 GB memory in a 1U form factor (Per node: Four hot-swap 2.5" SATA drives and 6 DIMM slots provide up to 48
GB memory per node).
- 10 GigE Ethernet connection
- A 5100 Intel San Clemente chipset that takes registered
memory, increasing power efficiency over systems with fully buffered memory.
- A 780-watt high efficiency (90%+) power supply is shared by
both nodes to optimize the utilization level and increase energy savings.
- Remote and Lights Out Management w/IP-KVM, SOL via IPMI 2.0
