Why Cubix’s Density™ System for Multiple
Server Projects
| The Cubix Density™ system is
the ideal building block for deploying multiple
Internet server systems. Density features an
award winning blade architecture that enhances a
solutions fault-tolerance, scaleability, and
redundancy. The Density is flexible, saves space,
SNMP managed, and cost significantly less than an
equivalent number of stand-alone servers. |
| Scalability - Adding
incremental capacity to the system is the
important element of a systems performance.
Increasing a site’s capacity can be as easy
as adding a blade into an available segment in a
Cubix multi-server chassis. This can be done
without interrupting the other operating blades
in the chassis. |
| Flexibility
– Using third party load balancing and
clustering products, the Cubix Density system is
an ideal platform to deploy your highly available
distributed server farm. With the capacity to
host as many as 8 server blades in 7U (RETMA), it
is the ideal platform for deploying multiple
server solutions. A Cubix Density system also
allows you to mix and match different processor
blades in the same system. One blade may only
need the performance of single PentiumŪ II
processor while another may need the higher
performance of dual-processor PentiumŪ III
blade. |

Multi-Tiered Distributed Web

Availability & Redundancy
– Where availability is critical, server
redundancy is a must. To eliminate single point
of failures, a minimum of three server blades is
recommended. This allows for a single blade to be
serviced offline without interrupting or
jeopardizing system operation. Cubix’s
multi-server architecture is ideal for
building redundant servers. In a multi-tiered,
distributed server system, multiple server blades
are load-balanced to share requests for service.
The Density provides as many as 8
industry-standard IntelŪ processor based blades
in 7U that are capable of sharing the load.
Multiple Density systems may be deployed to build
larger server farms as demand increases.
Using third party clustering products, server
redundancy can be improved. Fail-over
blades can reside side by side within an Density
chassis.
|
Manageability – Network servers are
often physically located where the support people
are not. Cubix’s Density systems can be
centrally managed by Cubix’s GlobalVision™ remote management software
for Windows NT environments. Remote management
capabilities include hard resetting and power
cycling of individual server blades, monitoring
fans, temperature, voltages and blade activity. |
 |
Space saving design –
Cubix’s award winning blade architecture requires as little as 7U
(RETMA) of space for as many as 8 server blades.
That’s less than 1U per server. Cubix
reduces the space required for multiple server
solutions. This reduces rack costs, cabling
headaches, room requirements, and power needs.
All saving you money on the bottom line by
reducing operating expenses. |
| Price/Performance
–The Cubix Density multi-server system
provides a cost effective platform for building
highly available, multi-tiered solutions yielding
superior performance for less than stand alone
server systems. Cubix systems yield a lower cost
of ownership from higher reliability, reduced
support cost, and faster deployment. With an
integrated K/V/M switch, shared floppy and CD-ROM
drives, and built-in environmental monitoring and
alarms, Cubix reduces peripheral costs while
offering features others charge extra. |
