趋势观察:什么是X86服务器:
英特尔的新E5-2600系列芯片
第一部分:
This week I’ll be writing a two part series on the trend watch for X86 Intel Servers. As I’m sure you’re wondering, I’m aware that X86 processors are not a new thing. Yes, I know they have been around for the past few years and have been working their way into the industries heart as the processor of choice. However, with Gartner’s year-on-year survey conclusions and Intel’s March 6日 release of their new E5-2600 series chips, there are a ton of exciting things to note and talk about. So with that I give you part one of Trend Watch: X86 Server Take Over; Intel’s New E5-2600 Series Chips.
这是真的 X86服务器 不是新事物。他们一直在进入 数据中心 在过去的几年中,而且进展缓慢,但确实增加了它们的存在,以至于它们现在在UNIX中成为首选服务器。数据中心不再是异构的地方,用于表征我们的计算机中心的各种微处理器现在已被统一的X86处理器所取代。
X86’s dominating presence is nothing new, as I’m sure you’ve been aware, their boxes have long since outsold UNIX and mainframes on a units-shipped basis. The biggest perpetuator causing UNIX to fall into the fiery pit of their demise came from Oracle’s 2009 purchase of Sun Microsystems, since then UNIX has slowly been sinking to its fiery death. In 2010, X86 servers represented the majority of server revenue as a whole, estimated by IDC at 66.1% in Q310. That folks was not just a trend, but instead the tipping point in an industry standard.
但是,这些服务器的不同之处在于,“客户并未在特定品牌的x86系统上实现标准化,” GCG负责人Dan Olds说。 “尽管供应商竭力说服他们这样做,例如财务诱因,简化了处理来自单个家族的大量服务器的系统管理,以及所有厂商都使用相同的AMD和Intel芯片,相同的RAM和相同的磁盘,这实际上是价格上唯一的差异。
Gartner于2012年2月进行的调查分析了服务器供应商等服务器收入和出货量以及市场份额百分比的同比变化。 IBM,HP,戴尔,Oracle,富士通和联想。他们得出结论,服务器市场增长背后的主要推动力是X86服务器的大规模部署和云计算的增长。 2011年,全球服务器出货量增加了7%,而第四季度为4.5%。与此同时,2011年全球服务器收入增长了7.9%,尽管第四季度下降了5.4%。考虑到10月份泰国洪水造成的供应短缺,这造成了库存问题,极大地影响了供应商满足第四季度需求的能力,这些数据令人印象深刻。
Gartner研究副总裁杰弗里·休伊特(Jeffery Hewitt)说:“ 2012年的前景表明增长将会继续。” “随着x86服务器虚拟化技术在替换物理机时对其进行整合,这些增长将继续受到缓冲,但是英特尔和AMD推出的新处理器很可能会助推并启动新一轮的变革。 服务器设备 replacement cycles.”
随着释放 英特尔E5-2600系列芯片 on Tuesday March, 6 2012, the industry is about to see another huge round of server replacement cycles. In part two of this week’s blog, Trend Watch: X 86 Servers Take Over; Intel’s New E5-2600 Series Chips, I will give you all of the latest and greatest information on Intel’s newest chips, so get excited for the next post!
