At SUSECON 2017, Huawei and Linux-based operating system developer SUSE announced a expanded partnership to build a more reliable Mission Critical Server for enterprise customers.
The server will support memory module hot swap, helping customers slash unplanned maintenance time while keeping their production systems up and running.
The solution will run on Huawei’s 16-/32-socket KunLun Mission Critical Server and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications. It strengthens both companies’ lineup of enterprise mission-critical offerings.
The Huawei KunLun Mission Critical Server is specifically engineered for critical workloads such as enterprise database, decision support, and business processing. Supporting 8, 16, or 32 Intel processors with up to 32 TB in-memory computing, the KunLun server is capable of processing massive amounts of data even in large-scale in-memory database systems.
“Huawei is teaming up with SUSE to jointly launch the in-memory computing hot swap solution built on the Huawei 16-/32-socket KunLun Mission Critical Server and the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server RAS enhanced feature package,” Huawei IT server product line president Qiu Long said.
“This solution will ensure continuous, stable running of enterprise business-critical applications and reduce unplanned downtime. Supporting memory online maintenance, it reduces unplanned system outage caused by memory faults to almost zero, thereby boosting the reliability of enterprise critical applications.”
