BullSequana S-серия Servers

BullSequana S-серия is a line of ultrascalable servers for implementation of machine learning and artificial intelligence in corporate IT infrastructures.

Thanks to a possibility of a dynamic configuration, it combines the exclusive performance and unsurpassed flexibility that increases efficiency at all levels. The scalability of the server is provided by from 2 to 32 Intel Xeon Cascade lake CCPs (central managed the Intel Xeon processor), to 48 TB OZU (random access memory) and to 64 TB using Optane DC Persistent memory, up to 32 graphic processors Nvidia with which data processing goes tens times quicker. Servers are optimized for machine learning, crucial business applications and environments of memory. Indicators of such level can be the reliable base of architecture of Internet of Things for banks which come to the analysis and data processings from any sources "on site".

Availability in the Russian BullSequana S1600 market

On July 8, 2019 the Atos company announced that the first-ever configuration of the BullSequana S1600 server with an amount of memory up to 24 TB of DRAM became officially available in the Russian market and is already put into operation at the first Russian customer in productive work. The platform can be applied to operational information analysis in real time and full-time employment with management systems of data, such as SAP HANA, Oracle and PostgreSQL.

According to the company, servers BullSequana S passed on processors the next generation Intel Xeon of Cascade Lake which maintain non-volatile memory.

The BullSequana S server is the platform for development of SAP landscapes, Oracle, PostgreSQL and Big Data in general where high speeds of performance are of great importance. With a total amount of memory up to 24 TB of DRAM in the BullSequana S1600 configuration the platform accelerates also deployment of lakes of data, represents the complete solution for operational information processing in real time that does it effective for the financial and medical systems, retail, the production area and transport.

The Atos BullSequana S1600 servers effectively work with management systems of databases in real time, for example, for SAP HANA DBMS. Transition of servers to the Intel Xeon processors Cascade Lake made a non-volatile memory of Optane DC Persistent Memory available to operational work. Besides, servers received certification from SAP company for work with solutions based on SAP HANA DBMS. Using a non-volatile memory of Optane DC Persistent Memory cost reduction for virtualization of big clusters up to 20% and, for 30% increase in figures of merit for small and average SAP landscapes of HANA in comparison with classical is observed.

The architecture allows to group graphic processors, modules of storage and calculation on one server for accomplishment of all workloads of the digital systems of the smart enterprise.

Besides, it is possible to reuse the existing modules (for example, DWH) and to combine them with new that reduces costs on use. Thus, single solution provides simplicity of management, cost reduction and decrease in time of deployment from small configurations to very large. For July, 2019 growth of one server to 16 processors is possible. In the second half of the year 32-processor configurations will become available.

We certainly are proud of the fact that the first server from 16 Cascade lake CCPs was started by us in Russia. Capability of scaling of the server as required and settings using a large number of internal disks allows to adapt the platform for specific business challenges and to simplify lifecycle of the updated application. Thanks to a possibility of a dynamic configuration up to 32 processors to 48 TB and 64 TB NV-RAM the platform combines performance and flexibility with amount of RAM that gives the chance to customers to protect the investments into infrastructure. Roman Gots, the director of the department of Big Data and security of Atos company in Russia told

The BullSequana S server is the open platform with a possibility of a dynamic configuration for development of digital reasonable business. The platform is scaled as required and allows to use a large number of internal disks that helps to adapt it for specific business challenges and to simplify lifecycle of the application.

System testing of automation of banking activity of CFT on BullSequana S800

On April 25, 2019 the Atos company and the Center of Financial Technologies (CFT) announced carrying out large-scale tests of the automation system of banking activity (core banking system) CFT on the BullSequana S800 servers. Read more here.

Testing of solutions of Galaktika

On January 29, 2019 the corporation "Galaktika" reported that together with the company Atos began cooperation in development of joint projects and programs. In the nearest future testings of products and solutions of Galaktika with support domestic DBMS Postgres Pro on Atos demo stands will take place. In the future the companies are going to consider of sales opportunity of joint complex projects. In more detail here.

2017: Release

Atos announced on November 23, 2017 start of a line of the ultrascalable BullSequana S servers. Thanks to the architecture the server is optimized for the machine learning, crucial business applications and databases performed in RAM (in-Memory).

To seize the opportunities of AI and machine learning, infrastructure with an extreme performance is necessary for the enterprises. BullSequana S solves this problem thanks to a combination of powerful central and graphic processors. Within one server the graphic, memorable and computing modules for ensuring accomplishment of working tasks are integrated.

BullSequana S integrates the advanced Intel Xeon processors Scalable (Skylake code-named) and the server architecture developed by the research Atos command. The innovation opportunities of data storage together with scalability from 2 to 32 processors improve performance of applications, helping to reduce costs for infrastructure.

BullSequana S-серия

Features of BullSequana S:

• Up to 32 CPU, 896 cores and 32 graphic processors on one server guarantee the high performance and long-term protection of investments, offering an opportunity of smooth accumulation of power according to business needs.
• RAM with a capacity up to 48 Tbyte and NV-RAM with a capacity up to 65 Tbyte on one server provide the high speed of analytical transactions with databases in real time thanks to support of In-Memory technology, providing data protection and high quality of service.
• Thanks to the built-in internal storage of 2 PB of BullSequana S will be suitable for work with databases and use of virtual environments.

In general, according to Atos, the computing BullSequana S platform is intended for acceleration of digital conversion of business of clients by merge of crucial business calculations and high-performance computing within one device. It is the flexible server which offers high performance for optimization of investments.

The BullSequana S servers made at the French plant Atos are already available around the world.
