Intel Rack Scale Design Is Now Ready for Open Source Development
Author: Charles Wuischpard
Today marks an important milestone for Intel® Rack Scale
Design, the first industry-standard framework for disaggregating and
dynamically managing compute, storage, and network resources for more efficient
utilization of data center assets. We mark the efforts of our ecosystem
partners as Intel® Rack Scale Architecture transitions to Intel Rack Scale
Design and goes live as open source code.
As a VP in Intel’s Data Center Group and GM of the newly
formed Intel Scalable Datacenter Solutions Group, I’m particularly excited
about this milestone. I’m responsible for creating full solutions necessary to
meet the most critical infrastructure challenges across the data center and
working with the industry to bring additional ecosystem-led innovations to
those solutions. I previously led Intel’s High Performance Computing Platform
Group, where we established Intel® Scalable System Framework—a flexible,
systems-level approach to delivering complete solutions.
Today, my focus is on the great progress we have made
over the past year with Intel Rack Scale Design for hyper-efficient data
centers. The release of the open source code for Intel Rack Scale Design
heralds a significant step toward the revolution of traditional rack servers
for organizations that view the data center as a strategic asset. The updated
name for the framework reflects the longer-term vision of agile infrastructure
that is at the heart of Intel Rack Scale Design.
A year ago at the Intel Developer Forum (IDF 2015), Intel
hosted an Intel Rack Scale Architecture Developers Conference. Several
OxMs—including Dell, Quanta Cloud Technology (QCT), Ericsson, and Inspur—took
to the podium to speak to an enthusiastic crowd about the opportunities Rack
Scale would open to them and their customers.
Intel Rack Scale Design is the first framework to be
based upon and use the Redfish™ industry standard from DMTF for
modern and secure management of scalable platform hardware in the modern data center.
The framework allows for dynamic management of compute, memory, PCIe, and
storage resources and the pooling of those resources for more efficient use of
data center assets. The framework simplifies advanced technology to accelerate
the adoption of open, interoperable solutions for tomorrow’s data centers
today.
This is the first step in preparing the broader ecosystem
for pooled resources and a path to a software-defined infrastructure.
Through its ability to provide a new systems-level architecture that uncouples
a system’s resources, Intel Rack Scale Design helps hyperscale operators
address the challenges of growing workload complexities and the sheer scale of
usage demands.
The industry is taking note of that point. Craig
LeGrande, managing director of Mainstay Salire LLC and author of “An Economic
Study of the Hyperscale Data Center,” says that “Intel’s RSD framework will
re-write the book on (hyperscale) data center operations. The ability to
simplify and scale data center infrastructure through disaggregation and
dynamic management of compute, storage, and network resources will provide
strategic advantages to businesses that require high performance, nimble IT
systems while reducing overall data center TCO.”
LeGrande notes that Mainstay’s research found that data
centers powered by Intel Rack Scale Design infrastructure “can reach up to four
times the level of CPU utilization and ten times the level of IT admin
productivity compared to traditional data center environments—two of the
largest drivers of data center TCO.”
In a notable step forward, Intel is now making the Intel
Rack Scale Design components available as open source software that developers
can productize and incorporate into orchestration solutions. With this open
source release, Intel provides a clear path to address data center management
fragmentation, drive down total cost of ownership via resource pooling, and
improve OpEx via enriched telemetry.
Intel Rack Scale Design is coming to fruition because of
the efforts of an ecosystem of partners who worked together in the spirit of
open source collaboration. The specifications as well as all of the APIs
associated with Rack Scale are open and freely available. The Intel Rack Scale
Design APIs are based on the Redfish standard developed by DMTF. Intel Rack
Scale Design is under the umbrella of the Intel® Cloud for All initiative which is focused on
unleashing tens of thousands of new clouds.
You can now take advantage of the core of the Intel Rack
Scale Design components. Currently available components include the framework’s
Pod Manager, Pooled System Manageability Engine, Rack Management Module, and
Validation Test Suite—a tool to aid in verifying that the implementation is
Rack Scale aligned.
Today, the release of the code to the open source
community is the first step forward in the widespread effort to enable the
highly efficient use of resources. It sets up the hardware reference and open
source APIs to simplify management, and it also sets up the ecosystem for
pooled high-speed storage and future pooled technologies.
We expect solutions based on Intel Rack Scale Design to
be available from multiple hardware and software vendors by the end of this
year. To date numerous nodes have been deployed at multiple telco and cloud
service providers via our hardware and software partners. And, yes, as with any
truly revolutionary idea, we recognize that the shift to a new hyperscale
design framework will take time. We also know that now is the time to start
deploying the next generation of hyper-efficient data centers.
You will have a chance to see for yourself at this year’s IDF16 conference in San Francisco, which will showcase
Intel Rack Scale Design in demos by Intel and our partners, as well as demos in
multiple tech sessions.
In addition, you can download the code now via GitHub (https://github.com/01org/intelRSD) to begin
exploring how you will innovate with Intel Rack Scale Design. Several designs
across multiple markets and geographies from major OEMs and TEMs will be
available in the marketplace by the end of the year.
I will close with a list of our partners for solutions
based on Intel Rack Scale Design.
