LiquidIQ Hardware Components

As a blade-style system, LiquidIQ dramatically reduces power and space consumption and is designed with built-in redundancy and hot swappable components to deliver best-in-class reliability. The system leverages industry-standard x86 architecture to build a powerful, yet open hardware platform.

Hardware components include:

Chassis:

  • High-throughput midplane design eliminates the need for cables
  • Seamlessly scales to multi-chassis
  • AC or DC powered, single or dual power supplies
Chassis

Compute Blade:

  • Up to 20 blades per chassis
  • (2) 1 Gb and (4) 10 Gb Ethernet adaptors per blade
  • Quad Socket or Dual Socket AMD Opteron; dual or quad-core
  • Up to 128 GB of memory per blade
Compute Blade

Ethernet Switch Module:

  • Up to 6 fabric switch blades per chassis
  • 1Gb or 10Gb Ethernet I/O to compute modules; no cabling
  • External I/O to storage and data networks
Ethernet Switch Module

Management Module:

  • Single or dual redundant modules
  • Runs all LiquidIQ control and management software
Management Module

Storage:

  • Standards-based interfaces with SAN/NAS
  • Fully integrated with NetApp storage
  • Enables stateless and diskless system
  • Rack-mountable with LiquidIQ chassis

Control System:

  • Operates independently at the BIOS level, offering highly secure, 24/7 fault tolerant operation regardless of the status in other software modules
  • Controls real-time point-of-presence monitoring, power-up, power-down, fault detection and software-driven, automated failover of all hardware components
