What is a Microcluster?

The Microcluster was created as a portable device which would mimic a data center. Powered by Intel® or NVIDIA, it consumes low power, delivers high performance, and can be configured in many ways to offer a range of solutions.

Everywhere there is no IT infrastructure

The Microcluster has a multi-node structure and is conceived to offer high flexibility for various applications thanks to its integrated switch and power supplies. The multiple node options increase performance, storage or PCIe capability according to the chosen motherboard.

Why 2CRSi Microcluster?

The 2CRSi Microcluster offers a compact, efficient solution that mirrors can replicate the functionality of a full-scale data center on a small scale. It consists of multiple compute nodes (servers) that collaborate seamlessly, sharing resources to deliver services and complete tasks effectively through an internal manageable switch. Here’s why the 2CRSi Microcluster stands out:

Portability

Redundancy and Reliability

Efficiency

Cost-Effectiveness

Versatility

Scalability

ADVANTAGES and FUNCTIONALITIES

Thanks to its various configurations, the Microcluster can answer specific needs; it can be used as an external cloud solution, for AI applications, to create a standalone secure network environment or to create a common, scalable workspace.

It can also be used as an on-premises cloud, secured and with only internal accessibility given to its internal network. Data gathering and processing for many situations is therefore possible, be it in emergency situations, or those where accessing local networks is not an option. This makes the Microcluster a great demo tool.

The simplicity in the structure and deployment makes it a processing tool as well as an interface to develop and present new technologies.

The versatile design of the Microclusters can be shaped in the way you need.

Name your purpose and we make it possible.

Multiple Server/Node-Type Tasks: Microclusters are ideal for environments that require the execution of diverse tasks simultaneously. Each node within the microcluster can be configured to handle specific applications or workloads, ranging from data processing and storage to running complex simulations. This makes them highly adaptable to changing demands without the need for significant infrastructure changes.

Scalability: The modular nature of microclusters allows for easy scalability. Businesses can start with a small number of nodes and expand as their computational needs grow. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for startups or small enterprises that may have limited initial resources but anticipate rapid growth.

On-Site Mini Data Centers: In scenarios where continuous connectivity is crucial, such as manufacturing plants, microclusters provide a reliable fallback option. If the primary internet connection fails, the plant can switch to the microcluster. This ensures that essential operations, such as monitoring and control systems, continue to function without interruption.

Disaster Recovery: Microclusters can serve as a localized disaster recovery solution. In the event of a larger network failure or cyber-attack, critical data and services can be maintained on-site, minimizing downtime and potential losses.

Combined Computational Power: Unlike traditional backup systems that focus solely on redundancy, microclusters leverage the combined computational power of multiple nodes. This collective processing capability allows them to handle intensive tasks that a single server might struggle with. Applications such as real-time data analytics, machine learning, and large-scale simulations can be efficiently executed within a microcluster environment.Load Balancing and

Resource Optimization: The architecture of microclusters supports effective load balancing, ensuring that no single node is overwhelmed by tasks. This not only enhances performance but also extends the lifespan of the hardware by preventing excessive wear and tear on individual components.

Manufacturing: In a manufacturing setting, microclusters can manage production line operations, monitor equipment performance, and ensure data integrity, even during network outages.

Healthcare: Hospitals and clinics can use microclusters to maintain patient records, run diagnostic applications, and ensure critical systems remain operational in case of connectivity issues.

Retail: Retail stores can utilize microclusters to manage inventory, process transactions, and run customer analytics without relying on a constant internet connection.

Remote Locations: In remote or rural areas where internet connectivity is unreliable, microclusters provide a dependable computing solution, supporting local data processing and storage needs.

The V6Xd Microcluster supports ECC (Error-Correcting Code) memory, which provides an extra level of data integrity by detecting and correcting memory errors. This is particularly important in critical computing applications where data accuracy is essential. ECC memory can detect and correct single-bit errors, thereby upholding system reliability and data accuracy.

The V6XD server has a high-performance 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) network port, facilitating rapid data transfer and network communication. Additionally, it features Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI), an industry-standard protocol that allows for comprehensive remote management and monitoring of the server's hardware. Through the IPMI interface, administrators can access the server's sensors, event logs, and power controls remotely, enabling efficient maintenance, troubleshooting, and seamless administration of the server, even in scenarios where the operating system is offline.

Our Microcluster is equipped with RAID control, ensuring high level of data protection, availability, and performance. The RAID control feature allows us to efficiently manage the RAID arrays within the Microcluster, providing redundancy, improved read/write performance, and fault tolerance. With RAID control, we can configure and monitor RAID levels, replace or upgrade drives, and maintain the overall health of the storage system. This capability is essential for safeguarding our data and ensuring the smooth operation.
