Micro Servers Based On Intel® Xeon® Processors

Micro server. Macro performance per watt.

Achieve New Levels of Efficiency and Density for Emerging Scale-out Workloads

The microserver represents a new server architecture characterized by many lightweight server nodes bundled together in a shared chassis infrastructure. They’re designed specifically for:

  • Density
  • Lower power per node
  • Reduced costs
  • Increased operational efficiency

Microservers are particularly well suited for lightweight scale-out of non-enterprise applications such as:

  • Simple Front End Web Tier
  • Low End Dedicated Hosting
  • Basic Content Delivery Node

Intel® Xeon® processor E3-1200 v2 product family-based microservers offer improved performance per watt—up to 39% more energy efficiency versus the previous generation at the node level.1,2  Data center-class capabilities, such as x86 compatibility, 64-bit architecture, ECC memory, virtualization support, integrated security, and scalability, will help you maximize node density, improve I/O performance, and minimize frustrations—all reasons why a microserver based on the Intel® Xeon® processor E3-1200 v2 product family is a simple and affordable solution for your data center.

Server System Infrastructure (SSI) Forum is a leading server industry group that drives server form factor standards including the Micro Module Server Specification. The Micro Module Server Specification provides a server board form factor and system interfaces specifically designed for the microserver segment. This standard will enable innovative system architectures to reduce product costs and increase product and data center efficiencies.

MicroServers Provide Up To 3.6x Greater Performance Per Rack

A rack populated with microservers based on the Intel® Xeon® processor E3-1200 v2 product family delivers up to 3.6x greater performance compared to a rack populated with 1U servers based on the Intel® Xeon® processor E3-1200 product family.3

1. 效能測試中使用的軟體與工作負載，可能只有針對 Intel 微處理器執行的效能最佳化。效能測試 (例如 SYSmark* 與 MobileMark*) 使用特定的電腦系統、元件、軟體、作業及功能進行評量。這些因素若有任何變更，可能會導致不同的結果。考慮購買時，為了協助您充分評估，您應該參考其他資訊及效能測試，包括該產品結合其他產品使用時的效能表現。


2. 資料來源： 效能比較乃是使用 SPECpower_ssj*2008 效能標竿結果，使用 Java SE Runtime Environment (組建編號 1.6.0_30-b12)、Java HotSpot 64 位元伺服器虛擬機 (組建編號 20.5-b03，混合模式)。基準結果 3079 ssj*_ops/watt 乃是使用前一代 Intel® Xeon ® 處理器 E3-1260L (四核心，2.4 GHz，8 MB L3 快取記憶體)，啟用增強型 Intel SpeedStep® 技術、啟用 Intel® 渦輪加速技術、啟用 Intel® 超執行緒技術 (Intel® HT 技術)，8 GB 記憶體 (2 條 4 GB DDR3-1333 UDIMM)、64 GB SATA 固態硬碟機，執行 Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1。新結果 4291 ssj*_ops/watt 乃是使用新一代 Intel® Xeon® 處理器 E3-1265LV2 (四核心，2.5 GHz，8 MB L3 快取記憶體，E0 步進)，啟用增強型 Intel SpeedStep® 技術、啟用 Intel® 渦輪加速技術、啟用 Intel® 超執行緒技術 (Intel® HT 技術)，8 GB 記憶體 (2 條 4 GB DDR3-1600 UDIMM)、64 GB 3Gb/s SATA 固態硬碟機，執行 Windows 2008 R2 SP1。資料來源： Intel 於 2012 年 3 月的內部測試。
