What Has Azul Introduced?
Azul has introduced a Network-Attached- Compute Appliance; that is
a system targeted at virtual-machine based applications such as
those using the Java(TM) platform today and in the future Microsoft
(R) .Net(TM) & SAP- NetWeaver. Multiple appliances can form, what
we call, seamless compute pools allowing tens to hundreds of
applications to aggregate and share a common managed resource
within this “Virtual Machine Ecosystem”.
The Azul Compute Appliances eliminate capacity planning at the
application level, absolutely achieve consolidation results by
reducing the number of servers required to build out a data center,
as well as simplify management, all without any application-level
modifications, binary compatibility requirements, or operating
system dependencies.
Density, power, and cooling requirements are critical
considerations in data centers today and an area where Azul
delivers revolutionary economics. Our largest appliance comes with
384 coherent processor cores and 256 GB of memory, the Azul Compute
Appliance 3840 is rack-mountable occupying no more than 11u of rack
space and drawing only 2.7 KW of power. Just imagine a 384
processor-core system that is the size of a microwave oven and
utilizes the power of a hair-dryer. We also have verisions with 96
& 192 coherent processor cores.
The separating of the "compute" from the "computer" enables the
creation of “compute pools” that can be accessed from any server on
the network without requiring any changes to applications or
existing infrastructure; other than server reduction. It also
reduces the complexity of managing a multi-tenant shared
environment. Azul Systems' policy-based Compute Pool Manager
provides flexible, central control of application resources,
adapting to changing application workloads in real-time.
