Huawei FusionServer Pro 2298 V5: A powerful 450TB storage server with Cascade Lake Refresh

Huawei has officially launched the next-generation FusionServer Pro 2298 V5 - 2U 2-socket storage rack with the ability to support up to 450 TB of storage capacity in a compact configuration and extremely easy to manage.

The FusionServer Pro 2298 V5 storage server runs on Cascade Lake Refresh processor, the latest member of the Intel Xeon Scalable processor family, supporting a base clock of up to 3.9 GHz while performing Turbo power reaches over 4.5 GHz. Another advantage to mention on FusionServer Pro 2298 V5 is the presence of continuous Intel Optane DC memory, along with generous 2U 2-socket space, allowing the server to accommodate a total of 4 2.5 hard drives. inches and 24 3.5-inch hard drives, as well as 4 NVMe SSDs, provide a total storage capacity of up to 450TB.

Huawei confidently claims that FusionServer Pro 2298 V5 can deliver 36% more performance than its predecessor, while still ensuring reliability and the ability to optimize power consumption thanks to management technology. Exclusive 'Dynamic Energy Management Technology' energy, can automatically monitor resource usage based on service load and adjust minimum capacity based on resource usage without administrative intervention system administrator.

Some other advantages (as announced by the manufacturer) include:

1. Huge storage capacity: Supports many different hard drive configurations, easily customized in many situations, fully meet the upgrade requirements at different storage levels. Supports SATA / SAS SSD or PCIe NVMe SSD as a buffer, helping to improve drive read / write performance.
2. High I / O scalability: Provides a variety of network port options, including four PCIe 3.0 slots, 2 10GE ports and 2 GE LOM, as well as 1 OCP 2.0 card.
3. Speed ​​up the system: Supports 2 SATA M.2 SSDs for independent operating system installation and shortens system boot time. 2 M.2 SSDs offer 32, 64, 240 and 480GB capacity options, and support hot swap and RAID, ensuring high stability for the operating system.

From the features and strengths mentioned above, it can be seen that FusionServer Pro 2298 V5 is mainly aimed at working situations related to big data analytics, distributed storage, storage. Storage is defined by software (software-defined storage), data backup, and cold storage.
