IBM  Calibrated  Vectored  Cooling  

Updated December 18, 2009

Bezel Design

• What  is  Calibrated  Vectored  Cooling?  – Innova7ve  thermal  design  that  op7mizes  air  intake,  fan  placement  and  zone  cooling  technologies  to  maximize  the  air  flow  inside  the  server  for  op7mal  cooling  efficiency    

• Benefits  – More  func7on  in  a  smaller  design  – Allows  greater  internal  scalability  as  heat  dissipates  more  efficiently  

– Components  run  at  cooler  opera7ng  temperatures,  resul7ng  in  improved  reliability  

•  Technologies  – Integrated,  holis7c  server  design  (i.e.  planar  and  mechanical  designed  together)  

– Advanced  thermal  tes7ng  and  design  (i.e.  airflow  modeling  and  op7miza7on)  

– Isolated  zone  cooling  – Fan  technologies  (i.e.  counter  rota7ng  fans,  variable  speed  fans)  

– Vapor  chamber  heat  sinks

• What  is  Predic0ve  Failure  Analysis  (PFA)?  

– Component  analysis  logic  that  can  predict  an  impending  failure  based  on  data  from  the  component  

– Typically  no7fica7on  is  within  24  to  48  hours  of  a  poten7al  failure  

• Benefits  – Less  unscheduled  down7me  – Bejer  overall  availability  of  the  servers  

– Components  can  be  replaced  under  warranty  prior  to  a  failure

IBM  BladeCenter  as  a  Virtualiza7on  Plakorm  

Highly  resilient,  energy  and  cost  efficient                                                                                                                  §  IBM BladeCenter integration reduces cost and complexity

–  Lowers connectivity cost (SAN/LAN) by 44% vs. rack servers –  Eliminates 80+% of all cables

§  BladeCenter Open Fabric Manager automates network and storage address virtualization for fast failover recovery and easy expansion

§  IBM BladeCenter infrastructure has no single point of failure unlike competition

§  BladeCenter H delivers 12% better performance/watt and now features industry’s most efficient (95%) power supplies providing additional potential savings

§  BladeCenter H provides 67% to 250% more Ethernet uplink bandwidth than competitor blades which is critical for VM movement (vMotion)
