What Is M2DC?

What Can You Do with M2DC?

M2DC provides significant benefits for data centres, minimising their Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). This goal is achieved by the use of efficient microservers, easy and cost-effective hardware upgrade possibilities and intelligent energy management techniques integrated with OpenStack middleware.

In particular, M2DC platform enables competitive advantage with respect to performance, scalability, efficiency and cost-savings to applications such as photo finishing service processing several million images per year, data analytics of large real-time sensor data from vehicles, processing HPC workloads and providing Platform as a Service (PaaS) cloud solutions.

Built-In Enhancements

Image processing (IMG)

Images are processed to thumbnails on the fly in an energy efficient way, reducing the required data storage.

Intrusion Prevention / Detection Systems (IDS)

Network flows in the M2DC appliance are monitored by a high efficiency implementation of an intrusion detection system for suspicious activity to protect the appliance.

Communication (COM)

Gives M2DC appliances a very fast communication channel with very low latency that is not available neither on HP Mooshot nor bladecentres, even those using InfiniBand or similar networks.

Convolution Neural Network (CNN)

High efficiency accelerator on FPGA microservers for convolution neural networks inference for tasks such as image classification.

Data Mining (DM)

High efficiency implementation of data analysis and load forecasting algorithm, to enable intelligent workload management and reduce operating costs.

Task/Resource Scheduler (SCHED)

High efficiency last-level scheduling cache with self-healing capabilities and customisable strategies, to efficiently map tasks to the heterogeneous resources of a M2DC appliance.

Pattern Matching (PM)

Fully programmable, fast and energy efficient pattern matching engine with a limited action domain specific language to detect problems on the stream of system monitoring events.

Encryption (CRYPT)

Symmetric and homomorphic encryption on FPGA microservers, for performance and energy efficiency of secure operations and data transferts in a M2DC appliance.

Software Distributed Shared Memory (S-DSM)

Easily program for a mix of x86 and ARM CPUs, low power and high power, in a M2DC appliance with a single system view of the microsevers memory and acceleration capabilities.
