Description
Self-service, remote deployment of operating systems such as Windows, CentOS, ESXi, and Ubuntu on physical servers transforms your data center into a bare metal cloud environment. This Metal-As-A-Service (MAAS) solution enables provisioning for a variety of systems, offering on-demand server capabilities alongside remote edge cluster management. With comprehensive infrastructure monitoring and discovery features, it seamlessly integrates with tools like Ansible, Chef, Puppet, SALT, and Juju, ensuring rapid installations from scratch. Supporting VMware ESXi, Windows, CentOS, RHEL, and Ubuntu, it allows for the creation of customized images with pre-installed applications, as well as configurations for disk and network settings. The platform utilizes an API-driven approach for essential services such as DHCP, DNS, PXE, and IPAM, while a REST API facilitates streamlined provisioning processes. Furthermore, it incorporates LDAP user authentication and role-based access control (RBAC) to enhance security measures. Hardware testing and commissioning are integral parts of the solution, which is designed to deliver the quickest operating system installation times in the industry, thanks to its highly optimized image-based installer. MAAS is compatible with all certified servers from leading vendors and efficiently discovers servers located in racks, chassis, and broader data center networks, while also supporting major system BMCs and chassis controllers. The combination of these features allows organizations to manage their infrastructure more effectively and drive operational efficiency.
Description
The 3U systems can accommodate 24, 12, or 8 nodes, featuring 4 DIMM slots each, with options for hot-swappable 3.5” or 2.5” NVMe/SAS3/SATA3 drives. Enhanced by onboard 10 Gigabit Ethernet, these systems are designed for optimal cost-effectiveness. The MicroCloud’s modular design ensures high density, ease of maintenance, and affordability, which are critical for modern hyper-scale operations. Integrated within a compact 3U chassis measuring under 30 inches in depth, these modular server nodes can save over 76% of rack space compared to conventional 1U servers. This family of MicroCloud servers specializes in single socket computing, optimized for hyper-scale data centers, utilizing the latest power-efficient and high-density system-on-chip (SoC) processors, including the Intel® Xeon® E/D/E3/E5 and Intel® Atom® C Processors, allowing for diverse and scalable cloud and edge computing solutions. Conveniently, power and I/O ports are positioned at the front of the chassis, facilitating quick server provisioning, upgrades, and maintenance tasks, enhancing operational efficiency further.
