Dell Poweredge 12G Server: R720 Sneak Preview

Dell, the man, said that Dell, the company, would launch its 12th generation of PowerEdge servers during the first quarter, as soon as Intel gets its “Sandy Bridge-EP” Xeon E5 processors out the door. Dell wasn’t giving away a lot when he said that future Intel chips would have lots of bandwidth. as readers of El Reg know from way back in may, when we divulged the feeds and speeds of the Xeon E5 processors and their related “Patsburg” C600 chipset, that bandwidth is due to the integrated PCI-Express 3.0 peripheral controllers, LAN-on-motherboard adapters running at 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds, and up to 24 memory slots in a two-socket configuration supporting up to 384GB using 16GB DDR3 memory sticks running at up to 1.6GHz.

就我所知，论坛内，在R710服务器上跑虚拟化的XD很多。
近期，Dell即将出货12G服务器。其中，R720服务器，似乎会板载10GB网卡！最高支持384GB内存！
此外，Dell还发布了EQL PS6110/4110系列存储。
附，似乎EQL指令工具内，增加了一个“收缩”卷的命令：
    Shrinking is only supported in EqualLogic firmware version 3.2.x or greater. Shrinking a Thin Provisioned volume is only supported in V4 or higher. For v3.2, you can however, convert a TP volume to a standard thick volume and then resize it, assuming there is space available to do so.
    CAUTION: Improperly shrinking a filesystem can result in data loss. Be very careful about shrinking volumes, and always create snapshots to fall back to in the event of a problem.
    To shrink a volume you must first shrink the file system and partition. While there are a few Operating Systems, like Windows 2008 for example, which support this natively, most do not. For Windows NT, 9x,XP, W2K3, you need to use a tool such as partition magic, partition commander, or similar tool. We do not test these tools in house, so we cannot make any statements about how well they work.
    WARNING: be certain that you are shrinking the volume to slightly larger than what you have reduced the filesystem/partition size to. Shrinking a volume to be smaller than the partition/filesystem “WILL” result in data loss, i.e., if you reduced the filesystem to 500G, shrink the EQL volume to 501GB.
    Always create a snapshot before attempting any resize operation. Shrink the file system & partition slightly more than you intend to shrink the volume to avoid rounding or other math discrepancies.
    The volume will need to be offline to shrink the volume, og off or shutdown the server(s) connected to that volume first.
    The Shrink command is a CLI only option. You have to first select the volume (covered in the CLI manual available on the FW download page).
    GrpName> vol sel
    GrpName(volume_volume_name)> offline
    GrpName(volume_volume_name)> shrink
    GrpName(volume_volume_name)> online

10G网卡也不算什么新鲜的吧，HP很多都标配了，还能做虚拟划分成4块。

因为E系列的新一代xeon处理器出来，各厂都回发新品的。HP的G8 IBM估计是M4 Cisco的C系M2代。就连接性来说，基本都向10G靠拢，强化IO的。话说新的Xeon内置PCI-E控制器哦，这个太霸道了。

哎，我这小公司，连R710还没买的，这R720就又要出来了。。。
