OmniStreams - General Purpose Servers
OmniStreams With Intel Xeon Scalable Processor
Versatile General Purpose Server
The OmniStreams Servers line provides an all-around performance, flexibility, and ease of deployment to scale. OmniStreams features with the latest x86 intel Xeon Chipset with up to 28 high performance cores, 6 memory channels and 48 lanes of PCIe 3.0 .
Taking a hybrid approach, OmniStreams blends the extreme speed of FlacheStreams and the scalable capacity of ScaleStreams to create a middle ground for different resource requirements. OmniStreams has a patented tool-less design for easy access and service with product customization. The bays are hot-swappable to maintain 24/7 runtime. OmniStreams supports multiple form factors ranging from a 1U 4-drive bay up to 4U 24-drive bay model, provides the ability to scale storage solution up to 335 Terabytes.
As IT enterprise infrastructures expand begin virtualizing data into the clouds, OmniStreams help solves the challenges of managing complex customers workloads and being hyper-efficient with every dollar spent.
Flexible and Cost Effective Storage Server
With Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors
OmniStreams is extremely flexible to support the latest generation of x86 platform, from entry-level single processor ATX motherboards as well as the high-end dual processor one. Intel competitively situates itself in the needs of existing and emerging data center workloads.
Intel Xeon delivers both a balance of high-performance compute and scalable memory bandwidth through its I/O. This provides the foundation for a powerful data center platform that creates an evolutionary leap in agility and scalability.
Disruptive by design, this innovative processor sets a new level of platform convergence and capabilities across compute, storage, memory, network, and security. Enterprises, cloud, and communications service providers can now drive forward their most ambitious digital initiatives with a feature-rich, highly versatile platform
- Up to 28 high-performance cores, six memory channels, and 48 lanes of PCIe* 3.0
- Integrated Intel Omni-Path Architecture Host Fabric Interface
- Up to three Intel UPI channels
- Intel Advanced Vector Extensions 512
- Support for Intel® Optane™ SSDs and Intel® 3D NAND SSDs
- Enhanced Intel® Run Sure Technology
12Gb/S SAS3 Technology
OmniStreams is designed with the latest generation of SAS technology and achieves 12Gb/s for each port. It also supports end-to-end 12Gb/s storage devices such as HDD/ SSD through 12G SAS expanders, 12G SAS HBAs, and RAID controllers. OmniStreams can also support 36 physical 12G SAS expanders by providing dual ported SAS to enable redundancy for shared-storage devices.
SAS interface is compatible with SATA SSD by sacrificing a small amount of time to translate the SATA SSD data. SAS can do everything SATA does, but not vice versa. Instead of SATA III that can achieve 6 Gbit/s, SAS is able to get 12 Gbit/s and has dual ports. The second port used for redundancy so that the drive is still available after the path for the controller fail. SAS also includes many more advanced SCSI commands like error recovery, error handling, reservations, signal distance, and block reclamation compare to SATA. Currently there is no plan to increase the speed of SATA higher than 6Gbit/s. Also, the price of SAS is about 5% to 10% higher than SATA SSD. With the double speed increment, redundancy features and more advanced SCSI commands, SAS not only helps the SATA drives but also improved it in almost every aspect.
Patented Tool-less and Tray-less
OmniStreams provides a tool-less and tray-less design that allows for superior ease of maintenance and serviceability on faulty drives. All bays in can be easily hot-swappable with a single click. Some systems also have rear bays and those are hot-swappable. In addition, there are two hot-swappable power supplies; one is used as redundacy in case of failure. These innovative features allow system integrator technicians, IT administrators, and Service Technicians the ability to save on integration/ service times, which ultimately helps with lowering the overall total cost of ownership (TCO).
High Efficiency Power Supplies
In order to help achieve efficient power management, OmniStreams Servers are designed with 92% powerefficient redundant power supplies. All the models in the OmniStreams family are certified with 80 plus Platinum Power Supplies with feature such as PMBUS 1.2 better management monitoring and control. These power supplies generate less heat, run quieter, and lower its energy consumption. Since servers run 24/7 most of the time, it is best to invest into these high-effiency power supply.
