Ideal Platform to support IoT

Big data continues to flood the world in real time, generating valuable

information that needs to be collected and analyzed using advanced

analytics technology. The feedback generated through big data analytics

creates a flow of information about people, things and services and is

known as the Internet of Things (IoT). This dramatic flow of information

will bring a big impact to business, including changes in the process of

knowledge creation, a new social value creation, reformation of industrial

structure and industry reorganization. Today’s businesses must quickly

convert enormous amounts of data into valuable information that

provides business insight as well as solutions that can use this new

Key Features

power of IoT. To solve business challenges through IoT requires the

ability to utilize big data, create high-speed big data analytics platform,

and use an advanced analytics engine to analyze various forms of data

such as text, images, audio and video. The Scalable Modular Server

DX2000 from NEC is at the core of a high-speed big data analytics

platform that delivers both high-speed processing and extreme density,

while providing total solutions for big data utilization. NEC’s solutions

support building an IoT platform that will help lead your business to the

next stage.

Features

The DX2000 is designed to deliver high-speed parallel processing with

extreme density for big data solutions. It is suitable for organizations that

want to analyze/visualize accumulated data without high levels of

knowledge. Also, solutions integrated with this server is ideal for

companies that want to utilize an extremely large amount of complex

data in order to achieve sales expansion and cost reduction, for

example, through demand prediction and effective recommendations. In

addition, the DX2000 is suitable for other scale-out computing platforms

such as bare metal cloud, private cloud and Infrastructure as a Service

(IaaS).

The DX2000 incorporates up to 44 single-processor server modules with

in a 3U enclosure. With up to 2.8 TB total memory per enclosure (in 44

server nodes), the DX2000 provides extremely wide memory access

bandwidth, which is approximately 5 times more than the total amount

of memory access bandwidth that is provided by three conventional 1U

rack, dual-processor general purpose servers. In addition, the total

network bandwidth among server nodes in a chassis is 880Gbps, while

the up-link is 640Gbps. These features provide in-memory distributed

processing for real-time big data analytics for up to thousands of

servers, along with a reduced total cost of ownership because of

advanced power efficiency and smaller footprint in the data center.

The integrated EXPRESSSCOPE Engine 3 technology of the DX2000

provides extensive remote management capabilities for chassis and

modules including out-of-band management of each server. All modules

and shared components, including fans, power supply units, and switch

modules are hot-swappable and easy to replace.
