Data Center Drivers

• Larger

• Faster

• Greener

• Cheaper


The Past Decade

• Focus on improving PUE – Power usage effectiveness

• The techniques – Better power distribution (e.g., fewer conversions)

– Better cooling (e.g., air-side economization)

• PUE from 3x down to 1.1x


The Current Challenges

• Improve server energy efficiency

• Improve hardware utilization

• Improve latency


Opportunities from Hardware

• Integration

– Cores + memory + networking + I/O

– Lower latency, better QoS

• Efficient out-of-order cores

– Break tradeoff between wimpy and brawny cores

– Energy efficiency at good performance

• Virtualization support – Improve utilization without hurting performance


Andrew Feldman Founder & CEO

SeaMicro

SeaMicro Revolutionizes The Data Center

• Solve the data center’s most important problems: power and space

• Servers that use ¼ the power and 1/6 the space of today’s best in class server

• Plug and play: require no modifications to software

The Internet Changed the Data Center Workload

SeaMicro: Proprietary and Confidential

THE INTERNET CHANGED EVERYTHING

Compute Workload in the Data Centers of the

Past

Few in number

Large, complex, interrelated

Easy to schedule; compute resources fully

occupied

Compute Workload in Today’s

Data Center

Huge in number (millions of users,

ubiquitous access; iPhone, netbooks)

Are small, simple, independent (mail, search,

social networking)

Bursty traffic; servers often in low utilization/idle (Google

reports average CPU utilization of 17-20%, Uptime Institute between 5 and 25%)

Servers Failed to Adapt to the Changing Workload Creating the Power and Space Issues

• Volume servers are inefficient at small simple workloads

• Volume servers are extremely inefficient when running at low CPU utilization

• The power issue is caused by the mismatch between workload and legacy server architecture

• Creating enormous opportunity in the $15 Billion dollar Internet Tier of the server market


Market Insight SeaMicro Technology

SeaMicro Reduces The Power Consumed by Servers by 75%

New system architecture • Single box cluster compute • CPU independent; X86, ARM, etc.

The most efficient CPU available today: Intel’s Atom

Patented CPU I/O Virtualization Technology • Removes 90% of the components • Shrinks motherboard to size of a credit card Supercomputer style fabric • Links hundreds of mini motherboards

Servers are not aligned with the fastest growing workload

Small simple CPUs improve computer/unit power

More efficient CPUs are not enough, must reduce the power used by “everything else”


2 Terminal Servers

2 Rack Switches

64 SATA/SSD Disks

Basic Load Balancer

60 1 RU dual socket quad core servers

The SeaMicro SM10000

The SeaMicro SM10000 Replaces An Entire Rack of Traditional Equipment

1 System

10 Rack Units

¼ The Power

1/6 The Space

⅓ The Weight


Accelerating energy efficiency: SeaMicro’s Wish List for Next Generation Server CPU’s

• 2 X the performance/Watt

• 1/3 the price per unit compute

• Support for more than 4 GB DRAM/Core requires 64 bit support

• Support for low voltage energy efficient DRAM

• SOC—allows for more processors/unit space
