Product Overview
Business trends in information technology such as standardization, consolidation, and shared services have naturally impacted IT technologies and led to the advent of virtualization and cloud computing. This, in turn, has led to a desire for ever increasing agility and the creation of a "unified" system that is blurring the lines among servers, storage, or networking systems. Such a "converged" system's most noteworthy attribute is its ability to dynamically and qualitatively respond to changing needs.
With an innovative product portfolio, world-class partners, and strong financial backing, 3Leaf Systems is helping original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and enterprises to make data center infrastructures more agile and scalable while dramatically reducing both capital and operational costs.
3Leaf Systems products include ASICs that expose substantial value for customers, the firmware software needed to unlock and deliver that value, and complete OEM-ready systems. In addition, as part of its continuous efforts to gain direct end-user feedback, certain fixed configurations of the company's server products are available for purchase by end-user customers.
The 3Leaf Systems product line up is as follows:
Dynamic Data Center - Server
- OEM ready
- Designed and Manufactured by SuperMicro
Dynamic Data Center - ASIC
- ASIC for Distributed Coherence and Agility Instrumentation
- Shipping now:
- AMD (cHT interconnect. targeting the Shanghai, Istanbul, or Magny-Cours processors)
- 16 Nodes, 1TB shared memory
- Coming soon:
- Intel (QPI 1.1 interconnect. Initially targeting the Sandy Bridge processor)
- 32 Nodes, 64 TB shared memory
Dynamic Data Center - Software
- DDC-Pool (Now, Linux)
- DDC-Share (Now, Linux)
- DDC-Flex (2010)
The unique combination of Low Cost (via a focus on industry standard large volume technologies,) High Agility (through on-demand allocation of all server resources, hardware partitioning, and dynamic reconfiguration) and SMP Scalability (supported by high speed hardware cache coherency and support for 1TB of shared memory, going to 64TB in the next generation) makes it possible for customers to break away by offering new kinds of applications and new kinds of business efficiencies.
- New kinds of applications
- In-memory databases that run thousands of times faster
- Web site "Recommendation Engines" that delight the consumer
- Transaction processing systems that don't stall
- New kinds of efficiencies
- Avoid memory waste due to unnecessary data replication
- Capacity defragmentation: consolidate unused capacity into large-enough usable capacity
- Manage cluster and SMP applications in one system
- Cloud: all about sharing of resources
- Operational agility previously found only on large-scale proprietary systems
