Problems solved by technology

Traditional blade servers mostly use switches such as 10G, FC, and IB to exchange data. It is necessary to convert the PCIE bus of the processor to 10G, FC, and IB buses, and then implement data transmission through switches. There is a certain degree of overhead in the conversion, which affects the efficiency of data transmission. At the same time, the multi-switch configuration of the blade cannot realize the flexible configuration switching of multiple switches in redundant configuration and performance expansion configuration.

Abstract

The invention provides a blade server architecture based on redundant extension configuration. The blade server architecture comprises at least two PCIE switching board components, at least one configuration management board and a back board, wherein each PCIE switching board component comprises a switching board, and a PCIE switching chip set is arranged on the switching board; and the PCIE switching chip set is connected to a PCIE switching chip set on the adjacent PCIE switching board component through the configuration management board, and the configuration management board is used for configuring on-off of data communication between the PCIE switching chip sets. Two extensible PCIE switches are arranged in a unit height space. Data exchange is directly carried out without bus conversion, so that the data transmission efficiency is improved. The two switches are interconnected through the configuration management board, the configuration and the management of PCIE switching chipsare carried out, the two extensible PCIE switches are switched between two modes of redundancy and expansion, and different focusing requirements for high reliability and high performance characteristics in different application scenes are met.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the server field, in particular to a blade server architecture based on redundant expansion configuration. Background technique [0002] In recent years, due to the continuous increase in the construction of high-power density computer rooms, the demand for high-density servers has continued to rise. As a typical representative of high-density servers, blade servers continue to be hot in the market. Traditional blade servers mostly use switches such as 10G, FC, and IB to exchange data. It is necessary to convert the PCIE bus of the processor to 10G, FC, and IB buses, and then implement data transmission through switches. There is a certain degree of overhead in the conversion, which affects the data transmission efficiency. At the same time, the multi-switch configuration of the blade cannot realize the flexible configuration switching of multiple switches in the redundant configuration and performance expansion configuration....
