Huawei' s Rack Server Ranks First in Three Indexes of SPEC CPU2006 Test Tweet

Huawei，a leader in providing next-generation telecommunications network solutions for operators around the world, today announced that its RH2285 rack server received three top ratings in the CPU2006 test, published in January by Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC), a non-profit standards body for performance benchmarks. CPU2006, which is a CPU-intensive benchmark, stressing a system's processor, memory subsystem and compiler, rated Huawei' s server first in terms of Cint2006, Cfp2006 and Cint2006-rate.

The test results reveal the high performance of Huawei' s latest-generation RH2285 Nehalem-based server and set a new record for the server' s processing performance and a new benchmark in the server industry. Huawei' s rack server enables users to handle increasing workloads more efficiently and meets the requirements of high-performance computing, such as cloud computing.

"The high rating given by SPEC validates Huawei' s competency in this field,” said Chen Anhu, enterprise computing manager of A&S department, Huawei. "In the server space, we concentrate on solving customers' problems related to computing, I/O performance and storage bottleneck, and we are constantly innovating to provide the most optimized server products and solutions."

In 2009, Huawei launched a series of server products based on Intel Xeon 5500 series processors, including the E6000 and T8000 blade servers, RH2285, RH1285, and RH5480 rack servers. The 2U rack server RH2285 supports dual-channel Intel® Xeon® 5500 series quad-core processors, up to 12 SATA or SAS hard disks, 96 GB DDR3 RDIMMs, and data protection technologies such as RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, RAID 5, RAID 6, RAID 50, and RAID 60. In addition, it uses 80 plus high-efficiency power modules, which feature energy saving, high performance, large capacity, and easy management, thus meeting the requirements on high-performance servers of telecom, Internet, government, bank, and enterprise customers.

About SPEC

The System Performance Evaluation Cooperative, now named the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC), was founded in 1988 by a small number of workstation vendors who realized that the marketplace was in desperate need of realistic, standardized performance tests. The key realization was that an ounce of honest data was worth more than a pound of marketing hype. SPEC has grown to become one of the more successful performance standardization bodies with more than 60 member companies. SPEC publishes several hundred different performance results each quarter spanning a variety of system performance disciplines.
