FusionServer

FusionServer is xFusion's line of x86 rack servers for data center, cloud, and enterprise workloads. The current V7 generation spans 1U to 4U chassis with two or four Intel Xeon Scalable processors, and the prior V6 generation uses 3rd Generation Xeon processors. The line covers general-purpose compute, virtualization, databases, software-defined storage (SDS), high-performance computing (HPC), big data, and AI inference. All models are managed through xFusion's iBMC controller and the optional FusionDirector software.

Key Capabilities

• 2288H V7 Compute and Memory: Supports one or two Xeon Scalable processors with a TDP of up to 385 W each, 32 DDR5 DIMMs at 5600 MT/s, and 16 more DDR5 DIMMs through Compute Express Link (CXL), for up to 48 DIMMs.
• 2288H V7 Storage and Expansion: Local storage options include 8 to 33 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drives, 12 to 18 3.5-inch drives, and up to 45 2.5-inch drives or 28 NVMe SSDs. Two hot-swappable M.2 SSDs are available. Hardware RAID supports levels 0, 1, 10, 1E, 5, 50, 6, and 60, with an optional supercapacitor to protect cache data during power failure. There are up to 19 PCIe slots (17 standard plus 2 FlexIO slots for OCP 3.0 NICs), 8 of which support PCIe 5.0. GPU options are up to 4 dual-width or 14 single-width cards.
• Cooling and Power: Four hot-swappable counter-rotating fans in N+1 redundancy. Hot-swappable 80 Plus Platinum or Titanium power supplies from 900 W to 3000 W run in 1+1 redundancy. The rack server range supports Dynamic Energy Management Technology (DEMT), which dynamically adjusts component power by load and temperature.
• Out-of-Band Management (iBMC): The Intelligent Baseboard Management Controller (iBMC) has a dedicated management network port and supports Redfish, SNMP, and IPMI 2.0. Tools include HTML5/VNC KVM, serial over LAN (SOL), virtual media, and agentless monitoring, diagnosis, configuration, and remote control. Fault Diagnosis and Management (FDM) diagnoses and predicts faults in key components.
• Fleet Management (FusionDirector): Optional FusionDirector software automates deployment, asset discovery, maintenance, energy saving, and upgrades, with RESTful and Redfish APIs. A single instance manages up to 12,000 servers, and 256 instances can be cascaded. It supports non-xFusion servers, as well as GPU and NPU monitoring, and features AI-based drive fault prediction and memory fault self-healing, according to the vendor.
• Reliability Features: Heat pipe remote heat dissipation, an AI-based memory fault self-healing function, hot-swap drives, and redundant fans and power supplies.

Audience & Use Cases

• Audience: Data center and infrastructure administrators, cloud and telecom operators, and enterprise IT teams that buy and operate rack servers at scale.
• Use Cases: Virtualization and virtual desktop infrastructure, software-defined and distributed storage, database and in-memory database hosting, content delivery, big data, HPC, and AI inference with GPU configurations.
