size matters

Great things come in small packages! In today's tech world everything is getting smaller and more powerful - except for smartphones they seem to be getting bigger). From PC server, the difference in size and power over the last 10 years has been nothing short of astonishing.

From the first time I saw the Moonshot system I knew it was a game changer and decisions due to the size. Over the years, the cartridges have become more powerful with faster chipset and faster storage that corresponds to a better computing history. All this is done with a simple piece of hardware, the 7-inch is only 7 inches long around! Over the years, the scalability has only increased for each cartridge, while the size of the cartridge, the same, which is a testament HPE Moonshot engineering effort has remained. As with my previous Moonshot cartridge blogs the new hardware can break into more depth to bottom.

The M510 has so far provided by the HPE and Intel Moonshot team undoubtedly the strongest cartridge! This amazing piece of hardware, the Intel Broadwell 8 or 16 core and delivers up to 128GB of RAM!

This animal a cartridge provides more computing resources than any of his predecessors. While the M510 dislike Iris Pro graphics include allow m710x brother, in the storage and processing it without handle its gains even a blink many non-GPU-based applications. For those customers who hosted their applications in XenApp and computing and storage are intense, met this solution and exceed these challenges all while bare metal! Now, if the idea of ​​using XenServer crossed your mind then you are in luck as M510 may also running XenServer for delivering virtual desktops.

As the m710x the M510 also has HPE iLO functionality as the installation of Windows Server 2012R2 or XenServer is simple and fast. iLO can be accessed either indirectly from the chassis manager IP. Alternatively, direct access to the ILO the cartridge, simply browse the https syntax: // CM IP: / 735 + (cartridge #) or https://10.95.1.21:765. 10.95.1.21 is my Chassis Manager IP address, 765 = 735 + Cartridge #. For my m750 its cartridge # 30

show Recent testing scalability with Login VSI 4.1.5 is that this mega-cartridge can be extremely well-scaled. Let's look at the Login VSI and cartridge performance results have a look. The performance results are installed in the following of a series of tests with the M510 and bare-metal Windows 2012R2, XenDesktop 7.8, 7.8 PVS and UEFI Boot. A series of tests were repeated Login VSI lead to the knowledge worker workload and applications such as Office 2013, Adobe and other base as part of this workload.

The average number of users of knowledge workers workloads Login VSI Max to was 138 with 145 user to be active at the time of the test. The baseline of 780 was consistent with additional tests that were repeated. The High scalability policy template on the Desktop group for all users Login VSI was applied.

CPU performance of the M510 while the 145 user test. The maximum CPU utilization was around 93% during the peak of the test without the processor to fully saturate.

XenApp Knowledge Worker

With 128 GB DDR4 RAM of the knowledge worker workload leave more than enough storage. An average of 71GB of RAM was used for 145 meetings with 57GB RAM left. Since it was used a lot of RAM and NVME disk space available, the PVS cache RAM type with overflow on the hard drive was.

XenApp Knowledge Worker 2

, the M510 cartridge was collected power from the chassis manager with a maximum of used every 15 to 30 seconds 102 watts . The following table shows the performance as meetings were consumed logged. Since we RBSU access now with iLO we have also ensured that the maximum power settings were applied to the M510 cartridge.

Power Consumption

The average XenApp session was about 0.74 of 1 Watt per session ! At this standby VCR mode into perspective used 7x times more watts than a XenApp session in our tests.

145 user test

Now let look at the traditional office workers. In the tests clerk were 178 repeatedly active XenApp sessions with a series of tests and a VSI MAX 167.

CPU POWER ON of M510 during the 178 user test. The maximum CPU utilization was around 92% during the peak of the test with a maximum of 97% without saturating the processor fully.

Moonshot

An average of 81Gb RAM was used 178 active XenApp sessions with 42GB RAM remains. Since it was used a lot of RAM and NVME disk space available, the PVS cache RAM type with overflow on the hard drive was.

Power from the Chassis Manager Web ILO was collected used this time for the M510 cartridge with a maximum of 91 Watt . The following table shows the power consumed as sessions were logged with an average of 0.61 of 1 watt per user.

178 user test

In summary, that new advances with the seat HPE M510 Moonshot cartridge, Citrix XenApp thin wire technologies and the Intel chipset have Broadwell made great progress, provide in the, what could be the lowest watts per user, lowest cost per user and best user experience - all in one small device. In fact, size matters!
