Active System 800

Active System Manager supports all environments compatible to Active System. Such environments can be previously integrated (for example, Active System 800), based on reference architecture or made to order using Active System Matrix. Basic functions of products are listed below. On the basis of templates and the automated setup requirements to infrastructure allow to encapsulate selection of resources easily, and then to apply these requirements predictably, being guided by requirements of workload.

Basic

• Infrastructure management within all lifecycle, beginning from data collection and start and finishing with selection of resources, routine maintenance and utilization.
• The switching of loading at failure providing fast and simple transfer of workloads on the necessary resources of infrastructure.
• The interface on the basis of masters having the step-by-step workflows relying on functions.
• Graphic display of logical network topology and expanded submissions of sections of net boards.

Advantages

• Quick response to business needs.
• Increase in efficiency of a data processing center.
• Quality improvement of IT services.

The report on the server

The blade server of PowerEdge M620 provides the high density of installation of memory, exclusive performance and flexible functionality of a corporate class. M620 represents an ideal combination of density of installation of memory, performance, efficiency and scalability. It is intended for resource-intensive workloads, for example:

• works with e-mail, databases and virtual environments;

processings of business processes of the average level, decision support and joint work;

• the high performance computing applications executing crucial industrial research and developmental (R&D) works.

Overview

• Multifunction dual-processor blade server of half height
• It is created for all range of data processing centers
• Is ideal for high-performance workloads, for example for virtualization and databases

Advantages

• Excellent performance and exclusive flexibility
• Flexible functionality of a corporate class
• Easy management of lifecycle due to use of the innovation management tools
• It is optimized for virtualization
• The large volume of memory (up to 768 Gbayt1 in 24 modules DIMM)
• Two Secure Digital (SD) cards for reserve hypervisors (the configuration helps to provide for them optimal coordination that helps to prevent a situation with simultaneous achievement of the end of life of modules)
• The flash disks of PCI Express is provided by incredibly large number of input-output operations per second in comparison with normal disks that allows to reduce number of cases of a lack of resources of input-output

Efficiency

• Intellectual hardware control of systems
• Ample opportunities of power management
• Integration into the management consoles virtualization
• The innovation automation of replacement of parts
• Possibilities of the choice, scaling and growth
• The flexible density of installation of modules of memory — up to 24 modules of memory of DIMM
• The optional pluggable unit of a power supply with a possibility of hot swap, hard drives (HDD) and also fans in the M1000e body
• Two Broadcom adapters for convergent networks 10GbE
• Different options of implementation of RAID for the satisfaction of specific requirements

The report on the system of storage

Arrays of the Dell EqualLogic PS6110 series provide the virtualized storage area network (SAN) 10GbE on the basis of the SCSI (iSCSI) protocol which combines intelligent mechanisms and automation equipment with functions of ensuring fault tolerance that guarantees simplicity of administration, fast deployment, ample opportunities of scaling and performance and reliability of a corporate class. In arrays 10GbE PS6110 series the Data Center Bridging (DCB) protocol can be used to increase service quality of Ethernet and considerably to reduce losses of packets for the complete solution applying iSCSI over DCB technology (from server adapters to the end devices iSCSI).

Overview

• The low cost of gigabyte of capacity due to use of storage system (SAS) of SCSI, NL-SAS, solid state drives and hybrid options
• Resistance to failures thanks to existence of components with full redundancy and with a possibility of hot switching (two controllers 10GbE, disk storage modules with a possibility of "hot" replacement and two power sources)
• Two controllers provide possibilities of use of SPF ports + and 10GBASE-T for work with the existing infrastructure or creation of the inexpensive solution based on 10GBASE-T

Advantages

• Storage area networks of the corporate level for the organizations of any size without the mezzanine board and without additional license fees
• The scaling on demand without work interruption allowing to provide unsurpassed flexibility at the low total cost of ownership
• The functions of automatic multilevel data storage allowing to optimize performance of a pool of resources and to provide delivery of the necessary data to the right place in due time

Advanced functions

• The Data Center Bridging protocol allows to increase service quality (QoS) of Ethernet, to exclude loss of packets and to receive the complete solution, from the adapter for convergent networks to the end devices iSCSI
• Means of the analysis and monitoring of performance of groups of SAN HeadQuarters networks in the past for several virtualized SAN EqualLogic groups distributed on different data processing centers and remote offices
• The server handshaking with the managing systems which is closely integrated with products of Microsoft, VMware and Linux without additional payment allows to reduce time spent for accomplishment of labor-consuming tasks of data storage system management and at the same time to increase reliability and performance of the EqualLogic environment

The report on net surfing

• Two Dell Force10 S4810 10GbE switches for installation over a rack in combination with two aggregators of input-output PowerEdge M in the M1000e body provide complex convergence for a local network and the storage area network with the iSCSI protocol (from a blade server to EqualLogic array).
• S4810 is switch 10/40GbE for installation over a rack with a form factor 1U and the high density of installation which has 48 ports of standard 1/10GbE (SFP+) with support of two speeds and four modules of the channel of the ascending communication 40GbE (QSFP+) (only 64 ports 10GbE when using cables of terminal distributing).
• The aggregator of input-output is a blade module of input-output which supports up to 16 ports of the ascending communication of standard 10GbE and thirty two internal ports 10GbE providing the high speed of traffic between the body that allows to exclude use of cables and to reduce number of the ports used to go to the devices installed over a rack. It is easily administered using the Plug and Play functions.

Convergent networks

Full compliance to requirements of IEEE DCB, support of convergence of traffic from a local network and from storage systems with the iSCSI interface in a single network.

Multifunction Dell Force10 (FTOS) operating system

• Supports work of several largest and most exacting environments of data processing centers.
• Also the network performance ensures predictable and reliable functioning, reducing at the same time operating costs and management.
• The command line interface of an industry standard with support of routing and switching of the second and third levels is used.
