HDPOD Big Data Family: Commodity Hadoop Cluster Platforms for Enterprises

HDPOD Big Data Appliance Brochure

HDPOD System 300 Solution Design Architecture Overview

IRON HDPOD is designed to be a Hortonworks Hardoop HDFS powered Big Data storage platform for running enterprise data analytics environments, the design offers:

  • Rack-Level Resiliency: Resiliency is built into the design at multiple levels to deal with hardware and software failures; all components have N+1. The degree of resiliency is adaptable for mitigating power, network, storage and compute outages.
  • Modular, Scalable Storage Architecture: Balanced compute CPU, memory, network throughput and storage IOPS and capacity per rack. Multiple racks can be networked together to build scale-out modular storage infrastructure
  • Flexible Data Node Configurations: For Hadoop workloads, the storage to compute ratios vary from application to application; HDPOD offers multiple building block choices in 2U, 1U and half-U form factors, as well as Low Power consumption CPU options.
  • High Return-on-Investment (ROI): Best-in-class standardized components to provide maximum performance leveraging synergies between components that are based on open standards, reliable and scalable, allowing organizations to save on cost and help grow with business needs.
 

High Speed Network Fabric

Supports Dual path for high availability

  • High Speed 40GbE across the entire HDPOD 300 series; this fast, dual path interconnect can also be used to connect to external Analytics infrastructure
  • Data Switch: Single or Dual*, 36 Port 40GbE QSF ( 64 10GbE SFP+, uses 4x SFP+ breakout cables) , Managed; 10GbE SFP+ connectivity to servers and 40/56GbE uplink to next level of aggregation or east-west switching
  • Network Management Switch: Single, 48 Port 1GbE RJ45 connected to IPMI Server ports
  • Scalable to multiple racks for multi-petabytes expansion
