The computing landscape is evolving quickly as modern applications become more diverse in their needs. At IDEL, we’re always working to stay ahead of these requirements. There is an increasing use of scale-out architectures driven by the boom in data analytics, the continued growth of cloud scale computing – both on-prem and hosted, and new demands for computing at the edge and in private clouds. Whether it’s a service provider looking for maximum density in a cloud platform, a manufacturer modeling new designs, a retailer analyzing consumer trends, or a data scientist modeling a financial market, the ability to extract economic benefit from data and IT infrastructure is simply elemental to success.

A unique, high-density server architecture is being used for some of these use cases to power compute-intensive workloads. This is, generally referred to as a “multinode” system. These high-density servers are essential to efficient operations but have traditionally been operated in clusters separate and apart from general purpose computing. Until now, this division between high-density computing clusters and the rest of the data center has resulted in silos of technology, policy and management for customers. These silos are the bane of IT efficiency and security.

As computing demand shifts from large, traditional data centers to include smaller, more distributed environments at the edge, the ability to mix form factors seamlessly in “micro data centers,” and to manage and automate operations from the cloud becomes vitally important. With a fabric-centric architecture, centralized, cloud-based management, and the ability, now, to add dense form factors and new capabilities to Our Multinode Servers, we can better address new technologies as they emerge and respond to emerging customers needs. All this without creating new islands of infrastructure or requiring forklift upgrades.
