Multi-plane exchange network equipment of converged infrastructure-oriented server

Abstract

The invention discloses multi-plane exchange network equipment of a converged infrastructure-oriented server, and provides a converged exchange module capable of supporting multi-network plane exchange. The converged exchange module comprises an information processing module, a signal conversion module, a network exchange module and a backboard connection unit, wherein the information processing module interacts with the network exchange module; a kilomega network exchange adapter module and a 10-gigabit network exchange adapter module are integrated in the network exchange module; the kilomega network exchange adapter module is connected with an integrated adapter of a computational node via the backboard; the 10-gigabit network exchange adapter module is connected with an expansion adapter of the computational node via the backboard connection unit. A low-speed network and a high-speed network can be simultaneously or independently supported on the same exchange module, and are separated, a data path bandwidth between the computational node and the exchange network is widened, the use ratio of the network equipment is effectively improved, and the application and management cost of a client is simplified.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of post operation in computer and server cluster debugging, in particular to a multi-plane switching network device oriented to a fusion architecture server. Background technique [0002] At present, traditional blade servers generally have two limitations in supporting network switching modules: [0003] (1) In the network interconnection part of the existing blade server architecture, a single data path is used between the network adapter on the blade side and the switch module, and this path is divided into two signal connection modes according to the transmission signal rate. One is The SGMII mode supports low-speed 1Gb / s Ethernet, and the other is the KR mode that supports high-speed 10 / 40Gb / s Ethernet. Because blade servers often adopt a high-density design, compared with rack servers of the same specification and platform, the expansion capability is 1 / 2 of that of conventional rack servers. This single data c...

Problems solved by technology

Because blade servers often adopt a high-density design, compared with rack servers of the same specification and platform, the expansion capability is 1 / 2 of that of conventional rack servers. This single data channel design not only affects the expansion of the blade server network capacity, and at the same time cannot increase the transmission bandwidth of network data, resulting in single and poor network applications

[0004] (2) At present, inside the blade server, the design mode of one-to-one correspondence between network adapters and switching modules is adopted, that is, one switching module corresponds to only one network adapter, resulting in resource limitations and waste

In the latest blade system in the industry, there are usually designs on the computing node side that can support 3 network adapters at the same time, 1 locally integrated network adapter, and 2 locally extended network adapters, and the redundancy of data applications is often considered. Both adopt the design that each network adapter sends out two links to connect two switching modules respectively, so if all three adapters are used at the same time, the system needs to have 6 switching modules, and the switching module can only support a single application. Causes an increase in switching costs for the entire system

[0005] With the explosive growth of network data volume, there are many demands on the functions and integration of network switching devices. In the current blade server system, different network switching devices are usually selected for different applications. This design will bring To exchange the waste of equipment resources, resulting in an increase in the exchange cost of the entire system
