AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Inventec, the
leading ODM for enterprise and cloud datacenter server and storage
platforms, today announced workload-optimized server platforms
based on Cavium, Inc.'s (NASDAQ: CAVM) 64-bit ARMv8 ThunderX
product family.
Inventec is the largest ODM server manufacturer in the world and
is a recognized leader in the delivery of high-performance and
scalable server and storage designs to leading server OEMs as well
as Mega Scale Data Center end user customers. The
K850G3 platform from Inventec is a 2U rack mount server
platform supporting two ThunderX SoCs in a dual socket
configuration with up to 1024GB of DDR4 memory, flexible I/O
configurations, and 12x 3.5" HDD per chassis. This platform
is optimized for workloads such as Hadoop, Spark, Cloud Compute,
and other workloads requiring a balance of high computing
performance with large storage capacity.
ThunderX is Cavium's 64-bit ARMv8 SoC for next generation Data
Center and Cloud Applications. Integrated 48 high performance
custom cores, high memory bandwidth and large memory capacity and
dual socket capabilities deliver best in class compute and memory
performance for targeted cloud applications. Integrated
10/40GbE Ethernet and integrated SATA interfaces eliminate the need
for external chipsets, NICs and storage HBAs thereby reducing
customer cost and platform power.
"Inventec is the largest ODM server manufacturer in the world,
and our success has been based on our compelling designs and
manufacturing expertise," said Banks Chen, Senior Vice President of
Inventec. "Earlier this year Inventec was requested to deliver
platforms based on Cavium's ThunderX ARMv8 processors, and the new
K850G3 (2U server) system is the first platform to be
delivered. We are now shipping sample systems and expect
excellent demand from growing workloads such as Hadoop and high
performance cloud."
"Inventec is well known for their robust and innovative designs
and broad customer base in both Hyperscale and Enterprise server
markets" said Gopal Hegde, VP/GM,
Data Center Processor Group, Cavium, "They are a great addition to
the growing list of ThunderX-based platform
manufacturers."
