Energy SavingARM Server ClusterBorn for Distributed Storage & Computing

What is ARM Micro Server Cluster• It is a single server chassis accommodate

many ARM based servers to provide high density and aggregated computing and I/O bandwidth.

• The cluster architecture offers scalability of computing with I/O bandwidth.

Why ARM Micro Server Cluster is Better Solution for Distributed Storage

• Dedicate resource on CPU, DRAM, network, and storage bandwidth for every storage device to provide stable performance

• Aggregated network bandwidth to eliminate the bottleneck in a low cost way

• One microserver connect to only one storage device. Reduce the lost of single point failure

• Low power consumption and cooling cost• Much lower TCO

Features benefit the performance• On-board 8 G bytes eMMC for Linux OS and

software storage• A M.2 (NGFS) SSD slot on each node. You can use it

for journal, cache or Data storage.• Dual 2.5Gb Ethernet on each node• Dual in chassis switches. Each switch provides dual

10Gb uplink and support link aggregation.
