The ES7000 is Unisys's x86/Windows, Linux and Solaris-based server product line.[1] The "ES7000" brand has been used since 1999, although variants and models within the family support various processor and bus architectures. The server is marketed and positioned as a scale-up platform where scale-out becomes inefficient. Typically the ES7000 is utilized as a platform for homogeneous consolidation, large databases (SQL Server and Oracle), Business Intelligence, Decision Support Systems, ERP, virtualization, as well as large Linux application hosting.
The hardware and software elements of the server are monitored by a software suite known as Server Sentinel.[2]
Up to 8 direct I/O bridges each providing 3 independent PCI buses, supporting 96 PCI slots (On 100 and 200 series)
Multiple memory storage units that can be combined or used separately
Historyedit
This server family has undergone several model revisions in its lifetime since 1999. Initially, the servers were standalone—physically the configuration resembled a rack and took up a somewhat larger footprint than a rack (Models 100, 130, 200, 230, 550, 400). Second and third generation ES7000s were rack mountable cells 4U or 3U high that fit in standard 19" racks.
First generation systemsedit
Half the PCI slots on an ES7000/100/200/230/550 system
ES7000/100 Series - (1999/2000) Support for 32 Xeon processors, 64 GB RAM, 96 PCI slots under Microsoft Windows NT EE and Windows 2000 DC
Second generation systemsedit
ES7000/200 Series - Support for up to 32 Xeon Processors, 64 GB RAM, 96 PCI slots under Microsoft Windows NT EE and Windows 2000 DC
ES7000/230 Series - Support for up to 32 Xeon Processors, 64 GB RAM, 96 PCI slots under Windows 2000 DC and Windows 2003 DC
ES7000/130 Series - Support for up to 32 Itanium processors
Third generation systemsedit
PCI slots on an ES7000/510/520/530/540 system
ES7000/500 Series (510/420/530/540)
ES7000/550 Series - Support for up to 32 Xeon processors, 64 GB RAM, 96 PCI Slots under Windows 2000 DC and Windows 2003 DC
ES7000/400 Series (405/410/420/430/440) - Support for up to 32 Itanium processors and 128GB RAM under Windows 2000 DC and Windows 2003 DC
Fourth generation systemsedit
ES7000/600 Series - Support for up to 32 Dual Core Xeon or Itanium processors, 256 GB RAM, 40 PCI Slots under Windows 2003 DC
ES7000/One Series - Support for up to 32 Dual Core Xeon or Itanium 2 processors, 256 GB RAM, 40 PCI Slots under Windows 2003 DC[3]
Fifth generation systemsedit
From late 2008, ES7000 7600R ("Kona") scalable from 1 cell of 24 cores to 4 cells of 96 cores of Xeon Hexcore and 1T of memory[4]
Hexcore and high IO throughput crossbar make Kona twice the performance of previous top-of-the-line ES7000/one on half the cells, at a fraction of the price and 1/3 less rack space
Built for green, scale-up database, scale-up virtualization (HyperV, VMware) and application consolidation workloads gaining performance and cost savings relative to many smaller, scale-out boxes (administration/maintenance, floorspace, heating, cooling)
