Intel TIGH2U Product Brief

Product Overview

The Intel® Carrier Grade Server TIGH2U is a NEBS-3 and ETSI-

compliant 2U carrier-grade rack-mount server, delivering industry-

leading performance-per-watt over previous-generation rack-

mount servers. It features the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processor

5400

∆

series — based on Intel’s latest 45nm technology — to

provide breakthrough performance and energy efficiency for

compute- and I/O-intensive applications and workloads.

This high-performing server is an excellent choice for the

demanding environment and limited space of the central office

and high availability data centers. It enables OEMs and TEMs to

create specialized, value-added solutions for a variety of telecom

applications including unified messaging, SoIP, call control, media

and signaling gateways, and operational system support.

The TIGH2U is designed to be fire-resistant and to withstand

extreme heat, humidity, altitude and zone 4 earthquake shock.

Advanced server management and telco alarm management

features provide visual, audible (optional) and SNMP event

indications of faults, consistent with the rigid requirements

of the telecom central office environment.

45nm Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400

∆

Series with Extended Life Cycle Support

Dual-processor platforms based on the Quad-Core Intel Xeon

processor 5400 series provide high levels of computing for

threaded applications, delivering eight-thread, 32- and 64-bit

processing capabilities with 12 MB of L2 cache per processor.

Based on 45nm enhanced Intel® Core™ microarchitecture, the

processor delivers up to 38-percent improvement in perform-

ance-per-watt

1

over previous-generation Intel® quad-core

processors. It has also been demonstrated to deliver up to 2x

faster performance

2

than Intel® dual-core processors, and up to

5x increased performance

3

over Intel® single-core processors.

Support for Intel® Advanced Technologies

The Intel Carrier Grade Server TIGH2U supports many of Intel’s

advanced hardware technologies, including:

• Intel® Virtualization Technology

4

(Intel® VT) provides hardware

assistance for software-based virtual environments, allowing

multiple operating systems and applications to run in indepen-

dent partitions. It helps reduce total cost-of-ownership by

facilitating remote upgrades of applications and operating

systems.

• Intel® I/O Acceleration Technology

5

(Intel® I/OAT), supported by

the server chipset, significantly improves data throughput via

hardware- and software-supported I/O acceleration by reducing

CPU over-head to free resources for more critical tasks. Addi-

tionally, it provides network acceleration that scales seamlessly

across multiple Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports.

• Intel® 64 Architecture

6

provides flexibility for 64-bit and

32-bit applications and operating systems.

• Fully Buffered DIMM (FB-DIMM) technology enables the

flexibility to optimize system for performance and capacity

or for cost effectiveness and power efficiency.
