"Yosemite": the first open source modular chassis for high-powered microservers
- itsbits 12y ago"This system will be fully compatible with Open Rack, which can accommodate up to 192 SoC server cards in a single rack." This is great..
- zaroth 12y agoVery interesting comparing this to Intel's Xeon D which was also just announced: http://www.anandtech.com/show/9070/intel-xeon-d-launched-14nm-broadwell-soc-for-enterprise http://www.anandtech.com/show/9070/intel-xeon-d-launched-14n... 45W TDP including dual 10GBE!
- wmf 12y agoYou're comparing it against itself since Yosemite uses Xeon D.
- universaltest 12y agoHave we really run out of new names for things already?
- venomsnake 12y agoIt is obviously the roughest, toughest, root'nest, toot'nest, fastest server west of the Pecos!
- Lio 12y ago...so you could say it was a bit of a Maverick? A real Lion of a server?

- hmate9 12y agoThis just in: Apple's next OS release will be called "WhatsApp".
- stephengillie 12y agoSoon to be followed by a new browser called "Spotify".
- msane 12y agoOne brainstorming technique is to stare deeply into your desktop background and say what come to mind.
- calinet6 12y agoUs Californians just really, really like Yosemite.
- sschueller 12y agoWhere is the source? What is open source? The PCB?
- KaiserPro 12y agoWhat SoC are they using? intel? POWER? arm? It'd be interesting to find out. Does intel even have a 65w SoC?
- mcbain 12y agoXeon D for starters. http://ark.intel.com/products/family/87041/Intel-Xeon-Processor-D-Family http://ark.intel.com/products/family/87041/Intel-Xeon-Proces... http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/03/10/facebook_open_compute_yosemite/ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/03/10/facebook_open_comput...
- jefurii 12y agoWould be cooler if they were using <a href="http://www.raspberrypi.org/raspberry-pi-compute-module-new-product/">these</a>.. http://www.raspberrypi.org/raspberry-pi-compute-module-new-p....

- lasermike026 12y agoI've been waiting for this, servers the size of ashtrays.
- amalag 12y agoIs this like Seamicro or like a blade chassis?
- lewisflude 12y agoI think it's really stupid that they called it Yosemite when it's the name of the current version of OSX.
- rajington 12y agoThis may have been in the works for a while. Internally it could have been called Yosemite for years, and marketing probably didn't see a conflict as Yosemite is a pretty consumer name.
- benologist 12y agoIn less than a year OS X will be called something else, too.
- web007 12y agoIt'll be interesting to see the devices that come out of this, sort of a standardized blade server. I'm still looking for the PoE powered version of this for a small cluster, having a single connection for power and data. Dual NICs would give you ~50W to work with, so it would need something a lot less than the 65W TDP just for the chip. It's also discouraging to see that they tried (and ruled out) the SoCs currently on the market - I'm looking for one of those as well, something that can at least compete with the performance of my 6-year-old desktop processor. Edit: Looks like the Xeon D would do it, 45W TDP for the whole SoC - http://www.anandtech.com/show/9070/intel-xeon-d-launched-14nm-broadwell-soc-for-enterprise http://www.anandtech.com/show/9070/intel-xeon-d-launched-14n...
- wmf 12y agoThere's plenty of Avoton stuff on the market if that's what you want. I haven't seen motherboards running off POE, but you may be able to use an extractor and then step down to 12V.
