HEXADATA servers and AMD EPYC 7003 Series Processors deliver the highest possible I/O throughput to pave the way for fast communication between CPU and accelerator in HPC and data analytics.
HEXADATA’s H-Series Servers feature a Chassis Management Controller (CMC) for chassis-level management and node-level monitoring by connecting nodes internally via BMC chips integrated on each node. Resulting in only one mLAN connection required to perform monitoring of all four nodes*, and results in less Top-of-Rack (ToR) cabling and switch connections.
Protection is built in the silicon to ensure systems will not be vulnerable to security attacks or cyber threats. This hardware-level root of trust (ROT) helps isolate the system as the boot process starts to make sure a verified code is used.
Integrity of cryptographic keys and secure key generation
Boot process protected and verified.
Secure application environment and protection at runtime.
For hardware-based authentication, the passwords, encryption keys, and digital certificates are stored in a TPM module to prevent unwanted users from gaining access to your data. HEXADATA TPM modules come in either a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) or low pin count (LPC) interface.
HEXADATA’s H-Series Servers also feature the ability to create a “ring” connection for monitoring & management of all servers in a rack for greater cost savings and management efficiency.
HEXADATA servers are enabled with Automatic Fan Speed Control to achieve the best cooling and power efficiency. Individual fan speeds will be automatically adjusted according to temperature sensors strategically placed in the servers.
To take advantage of the fact that a PSU will run at greater power efficiency with a higher load, HEXADATA has introduced a power management feature called Cold Redundancy for servers with N+1 power supplies. When the total system load falls lower than 40%, the system will automatically place one PSU into standby mode, resulting in a 10% improvement in efficiency.
If the ROM that stores the BMC and BIOS fails to boot, the system will reboot with the backup BMC and/or BIOS replacing the primary. Once the primary BMC is updated, the ROM of the backup BMC will automatically update the backup through synchronization. For the BIOS, it can be updated based on user's choice of firmware version.
