Huawei FusionServer Pro 2298 V5 2U 2-Socket Up to 450TB Storage Rack Server

Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.‘ unveils the FusionServer Pro 2298 V5, a 2U 2-socket storage rack server that provides up to 450TB storage capacity.

Designed to resolve the problems of low storage capacity and limited room space, it is for customers looking to deploy a high-density and large-capacity storage solution in their data centers.

The FusionServer Pro 2298 V5 storage server is a product running on the Cascade Lake Refresh processor, the newest member of the Xeon Scalable processor family, and the server supports the Optane DC persistent memory (DCPMM). The processor offers a base frequency up to 3.9GHz with a 4.5GHz turbo boost,. It supports more cores and provides higher hyper-threading processing capabilities, delivering a performance that is 36% higher than its predecessors.

The storage server can house 24×3.5-inch and 4×2.5-inch drives, as well as four NVMe SSDs, in a 2U space, providing up to 450TB storage capacity. It offers high density, performance, and scalability for enterprise customers, helping seamlessly handle the mass data generated in daily services. Thanks to its maintenance and management, this server helps slash the high O&M costs, a pain point that has haunted industry customers for years. It is tailored to a range of scenarios, such as the distributed storage, SDS, big data analytics, video, backup, archiving, and data-intensive warm and cold storage. It offers large-capacity and cost-effective storage for enterprise customers in the Internet and carrier industries.

Advantages:

Large storage: Supports various drive configurations and provides elastic storage capacity, meeting upgrade requirements at different storage capacity levels. Supports SATA/SAS SSDs or PCIe NVMe SSDs as the cache, improving drive R/W performance.
I/O expandability: Provides diverse network ports, such as 4 PCIe 3.0 slots, two 10GE and 2 GE LOM ports, as well as 1 OCP mezzanine card 2.0.
System acceleration: Supports two SATA M.2 SSDs for independent OS installation and fast start-up. The two M.2 SSDs provide capacity options of 32, 64, 240, and 480GB, and support hot swap and hardware RAID. All these features ensure the OS reliability.

Many customers are looking for ways to improve their system performance at a lower energy consumption. The FusionServer 2298 V5 answers this point. It adopts an intelligent power management design and capitalizes on the power capping technology to help customers improve deployment density. In addition, the company’s patented Dynamic Energy Management Technology (DEMT) automatically monitors resource usage based on service loads and dynamically adjusts the minimum power based on resource utilization for reliable server running. In doing so, the server power consumption is minimized without compromising service running, all while reducing OPEX.

According to Gartner, the research and advisory company, the total shipment of the firm’s x86-based servers from 2012 to 2019 amounted to 4.31 million units. The sales performance peaked in 2019 when the 4-socket servers topped the world in terms of shipment and sales volumes for that year.

As a partner of Intel, the firm has been adhering to a customer-centric approach and making unswerving commitments to the digital transformation of enterprises for the success of customers. A more intelligent data center is critical to fulfilling this commitment. To this end, the company is collaborating with Intel to provide performance, energy-efficient, secure, and reliable products and solutions.
