Open Data Center Committee (ODCC) is co-founded by Baidu, Tencent, Alibaba, China Telecom, China Mobile, Intel, China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT). It is a non-profit industrial organization, focusing on researching open hardware such as server, data center and open network technologies to meet the growing demand on hardware in Chinese market.
Scorpio Multi-node Server is an ODCC project sponsored by China Mobile. It is a 4U size server chassis with 8 compute nodes or 4 storage nodes in maximum. It can also be mixture of different kind of servers, like 4 compute nodes and 2 storage nodes. Compared with traditional ATCA or Blade server, Multi-node Server's advantages include:
1.It is easier and cheaper to extend.
2.It has more choices for compute and storage nodes combination.
3.It is easier to maintain by engineers.
4. Even higher density.
5. 4U is more flexible than 10~14U Blade server.
OPNFV develops an integrated and tested open source platform that can be used to build NFV functionality. We are running OPNFV releases Colorado on Scorpio Multi-node smoothly and will try recent Danube on it in China Mobile’s Novonet (Next Generation Network) laboratory.
This presentation will introduce how OPNFV and Scorpio Multi-node server fit perfectly together. It's a fully open implementation of open software and open hardware.
What is Advanced Excel and what are some best practices for designing and cre...

9. The Market of High Density Servers
• Blue Column – Shipment (10K)
• Red Column – Sale (100M$)
10. Why Multi-Node Server
• We are looking for the High Density Servers:
- 2x2.5’ SSD + 12x3.5’ HDD
- All disks can be hot-plugged
- Higher density Rack, support 7kw+ power
- 2x10GE + individual IPMI port
- At least 1 PCIe slot
- 19’ Standard Rack
11. Why Multi-Node Server
• Conclusion:
- No ready-made product, we need to
customize
- 4U chassis and vertical nodes is a
reasonable design
- Since we design storage nodes, why
don’t we make compute nodes at the
same time?

19’
13. But not every data center is so amazing
• Scorpio Multi-node server
• It has both the rack level server’s high-density and energy-saving
advantages
• It has higher scalability
• It makes the application deployment more flexible
• It fits different data centers: central or edge data center, standard rack,
more or less power supply
• It makes budgeting easier: large business or small business
14. Energy-saving Compare
the energy-saving percentages, multi-node server vs. general server
Average value is 7.9% Average value is 4.3%

15. Scorpio Multi-node Server
• Products designed by 3 major supplies
• Variable specification: different hard
disks, nics
• The shipment is more than 10K
• Customers: public cloud, private cloud,
telecom operators, financial clients
16. Scorpio Multi-node Server: from v1.0 to v1.5
• Multi-node server
• more than one server
• multi-functional
• multi-application
• Successful application cases
• Virtualization
• Big data analysis
• Massive cool/cold storage
