Data center rack server market forecasted to $40.25B by 2019 December 2, 2014     Email       Print   1     Facebook   3     Twitter   0     LinkedIn   4     Share         A new report from MarketsandMarkets (Dallas, TX) analyzes market dynamics, future roadmaps and global trends, and also provides competitive intelligence and forecasts over the next five years, for the data center rack server market. The research firm's analysts expect "an increasing adoption of power efficient and low-cost, high performance computing solutions, as major vendors are seen aggressively investing and rigorously working toward building cost-effective data center solutions, in an effort to reduce the overall cost incurred by end-users."MarketsandMarkets forecasts the data center rack server market to grow from $22.01 billion in 2014 to $40.25 billion by 2019, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.17%. North America (NA) is expected to be the largest region for the market's growth in terms of revenues generated, but Asia-Pacific (APAC) is also expected to emerge as a high-growth market. According to the analyst, in the market's current scenario, the data center rack server has significantly impacted the global data center market and is expected to experience exponential growth in the coming years. The future adoption of data center rack server is expected to be in heterogeneous environments and hybrid clouds, with more focus on software-defined storage.As defined by the analyst, a data center rack server device is defined by a controller which gets deployed on independent hardware platforms and hypervisors, and eliminates the dependency on traditional hardware platforms, notes the analyst. This helps organizations to control data access and storage, thus reduces associated costs, and improves efficiency and scalability. Data center rack servers are also a major component in the data center market. The newest platforms are run by software-defined controllers, adds the firm, which reside on a data center's servers, specifically to serve large and heavy applications and data flow such as hosting, cloud, or large-scale applications. SDN controllers enable multiple virtual servers to run on a single physical server; all the virtual machines are isolated from each other and are decoupled with the help of hypervisors. SDN controllers also enable live migration and helps the organizations into virtual computing. These software-defined rack servers help the organizations to cut energy costs, increase efficiency, agility, and performance, thus reducing complexity and space required for servers."The adoption of a rack server based data center will play a vital role in helping IT teams meet the fast-evolving business needs of their organization," states a press release from MarketsandMarkets announcing the new report. "In today's business era, it's become important for enterprises and businesses to maximize IT performance, but also on controlling costs by reducing cooling requirements, and power consumptions along with simplifying management of resources and data. To meet these objectives, companies are designing rack server in such a way to provide high performance, energy efficiency, optimize hardware resources and simplified management."The new research report from MarketsandMarket, Data Center Rack Server Market by Data Center Type (Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, Tier 4), by Services (Consulting, Installation and Support, Professional), by End User (Mid-Size, Enterprises, Large) - Global Forecast to 2019 is now available https://www.raycom.tw/hot_120743.html Data center rack server market forecasted to $40.25B by 2019 2025-05-20 2026-05-20

Intel開發新互連介面挑戰InfiniBand


英特爾(Intel)近日公布了鎖定高性能運算系統應用的新一代互連介面 Omni-Path 技術藍圖，表示此介面將大幅超越 InfiniBand ；不過 InfiniBand 互連解決方案供應商Mellanox很快回應，表示他們預期 InfiniBand 能保有在大型電腦叢集應用領域的地位。

 

在年度Supercomputing 2014大會上，英特爾發表了10奈米製程的未來版本Xeon Phi處理器，將整合Omni-Path介面；這種互連技術能支援100 Gbit/s的傳輸速率，更高的連接埠密度，以及號稱比目前的InfiniBand低56%的延遲。

 

此外英特爾表示，Omni-Path交換器晶片將整合48個連接埠，能減少電腦叢集所需的交換器；目前的InfiniBand 則支援36個連接埠；英特爾還為Omni-Path建立了一個目前有11位成員夥伴的專案，期望未來能進一步擴展業界勢力。目前InfiniBand 仍是高階電腦叢集互連技術領域的主流，在今年剛出爐的全球前五百大超級電腦中，有225台都是採用該介面。

 

英特爾在InfiniBand標準剛建立時也出了不少力，直到2011年與2012年，該公司向Cray等公司收購了數個互連介面設計團隊，著手開發緊密搭配其Xeon晶片、能與InfiniBand抗衡的新介面技術。Omni-Path支援英特爾多核心x86架構晶片Xeon Phi，該晶片是取代高階系統中GPU加速器的熱門方案，在最新全球前五百大超級電腦中有25台系統採用，僅次於獲得50台系統應用的Nvidia 晶片。

 

Mellanox 對於英特爾將未來Omni-Path產品與目前市面上InfiniBand 晶片比較的做法不敢苟同；表示英特爾才剛開始出貨14奈米製程技術晶片，因此支援Omni-Path的最新Xeon Phi處理器要上市，至少還要等上兩、三年。

 

Mellanox行銷副總裁Kevin Deierling表示：「已公布的InfiniBand技術藍圖顯示，該互連介面的性能仍將不段演進，我們相信我們將可繼續引領產業界，為高性能運算市場提供最高頻寬、最低延遲、最具成本效益的解決方案。」該公司展示了一款100 Gbit/s的InfiniBand交換機，能支援100公尺光纖傳輸距離以及8公尺銅纜傳輸；Deierling表示Mellanox將繼續為所有處理器提供InfiniBand方案，包括英特爾的Xeon Phi
