SGI has been a leading commercial vendor of Hadoop clusters since 2008. Leveraging SGI's experience with high performance clusters at scale, SGI has delivered individual Hadoop clusters of up to 4000 nodes. Integration, performance, and management all become issues at scale, and Hadoop clusters scale! In this presentation, SGI will discuss representative customer use cases, major design considerations for performance and power optimization, how integrated Hadoop solutions leveraging CDH, SGI Rackable clusters, and SGI Management Center best meet customer needs, and how SGI envisions the needs of enterprise customers evolving as Hadoop continues to move into mainstream adoption.
The value proposition of the Rackable product line is truly compelling. The amount of configuration flexibility is truly industry-leading, allowing customers to meet their exact needs for any given application. With up to 2,208 cores per cabinet, Rackable servers deliver high density, allowing data centers to conserve precious space. With power increasingly at a premium, our Eco-Logical ™ technology is of particular value to customers. Rackable servers typically consume significantly less power than competitive offerings, dropping Apex cost per server while allowing a larger number of servers to fit in the facility ’ s power budget. Whether it be done at the application level or in the server hardware, Rackable configurations are capable of delivering high reliability, availability, serviceability and manageability. And finally, SGI offers Rackable servers as part of complete solutions – fully integrated from both a hardware and software point of view.

only one to support full height PCI cards The Rackable cabinet line accommodates either form factor but is especially relevant to support half-depth, back-to-back mounted servers. A variety of sizes are available in both 24” and 26” rack widths. Both feature cable troughs for exceptionally clean cabling and serviceability. As mentioned previously, one of the big advantages of the Rackable line is the ability of cabinets to ship fully integrated with servers, networking and storage. This allows servers to be up and running extraordinarily quickly, assuming the data center has been prepared in advance to receive them. There was a new 24 in. Foundation design, but here we’re talking about the 24 in. Destination Rack, which has the followed dimensions: With front and rear doors air cooled 24” wide X 44.80” deep X 78.74” tall With front door and water cooled 24” wide X 50.38” deep X 78.74” tall Bare frame without doors 24” wide X 40” deep X 78.74” tall
Software Engineering is an enablement organization for platform, software and services sales through software differentiation and integration to end-users, developers and IT. As a product company,the most R&D goes in silicon design , board and system integration, as well as packaging and cooling. The main goal for the SW stack is to expose the HW differentiations to the application level where our end-users can take benefit of the HW differentiaoons and also add more value through SW differentiations. This is a key element of our SW steategy, we invest in developemnt only there where we add value (MPT and tools, NUMA tools,RAS features). If there is a good 3rd party or open source solution we integrate it in our Sw stack. We can say we have an RDI org (Research, Develop and Integrate ) 1 ANIMATION The end -users buy our platform to solve their business problems and thiese are addressed by appliciations. Custmers select frist or have alredy in use the application(s) needed in their workflow, and that application drives the platform prourement. We do platform enablement, integrate third party or open soiurce OS, middleware, libraries and have experts in applciation domain like CSM, CFD CEM;.... Our SW development resources apply mostly to both ends of the stack, system SW level (years of contribution to Linux to support scalabiliy to the level that or SM architecture is capable) and SFS which a key component to implement SGI differentiations on a standard Linux distribution and the application level 2nd Animation But there are two other categories of customes: - IT – system administrators that make and maintain the system operational. - Then we have developers, people that do SW developmemt on our platforms. 3rd animation For them we offer two products: SMS and SPS The slide captures all our SW Products as they align with the new platforms. 4th animation Summatizing the thre are of focus defining the core of SW engineering For IT Intelligent System Monitoring and Management Software For code writtes: deleopment tools for performance For customer: deliver results through applications 3 min
The Rackable line is unmatched in its configurability. Starting with the choice of an Intel or AMD based architecture, Rackable servers are available in a wide variety of form factors that enable customers to tailor the server to their data center and applications. Half-depth servers mount back to back, delivering a high density with hot aisle containment within the rack. Standard-depth servers are designed for heterogeneous deployments in hot-aisle/cold-aisle based data centers. Beyond the form factor, a wide variety of hard drive, memory and networking infrastructure choices are available. And if that still doesn’t yield the desired configuration, the SGI Engineering team can engineer a customized, Design To Order solution that it is an exact fit.
