Micro Modular Server
DX1000
Concentrated Versatile Platform for Data Center Solutions
Extremely Dense and Flexible
EXTREME DENSITY
EXCEPTIONAL ENERGY EFFICIENCY
OUTSTANDING MANAGEABILITY
The DX1000, an innovative micro modular server system,incorporates
outstanding performance, performance per watt, flexibility, and
enterprise-class reliability in an extremely dense design. With over
700 nodes per rack* and shared power, cooling, and networking
resources, the DX1000 system provides maximum efficiency and
availability. The DX1000 system operates in a 40 degree Celsius (104
degree Fahrenheit) environment, and accommodates flexible network
and storage solutions in accordance with your system requirements.
Perfect for Datacenter Solutions
The DX1000, a 2U enclosure system with 46 Intel® processorbased micro modular servers, is designed for lightweight scale-out
computing such as web hosting and big data analytics, as well as
cloud services providers. The DX1000 is perfect as a concentrated
versatile platform for data center solutions.
* Nearly 1000 (966) nodes in a 42U rack is physically possible. However, maximum server nodes for actual solutions will vary
depending on the facility conditions and also other equipment mounted in the rack. (up to 700 server nodes in NEC solutions)
