ScalarCloud Europe 2025 Infrastructure: Updates
Published on November 27, 2024 in Cloud
Hello everyone, we have just approved the new ScalarCloud Europe 2025 infrastructure, and the hardware order was placed today.
Former ScalarCloud infrastructure (2021):
– Processor: 2 × Intel Xeon Gold 6242R – 20c/40t
– RAM: 768 GB ECC 2933 MHz
– Storage: 12 × 3.84 TB NVMe SSDs (2 arrays made up of 6 NVMe SSDs in RAID 10)
Redundant connection: 2 x 10 Gb/s
Points of presence: UK (ERI), DE (LIM), FR (RBX, GRA)
New ScalarCloud infrastructure (2025):
– Processor: 2 x Dual AMD EPYC 9354 – 64c/128t
– RAM: 1.5 TB DDR5 ECC 4800 MHz
– Storage: 18 x 3.84 TB NVMe SSDs (3 arrays made up of 6 NVMe SSDs in RAID 10)
Redundant connection: 2 x 25 Gb/s
Points of presence: FR (RBX, GRA, SBG), DE (LIM).
HDS healthcare data hosting certification.
In short, we are closing the ERI site (UK) and replacing it with Strasbourg, as Brexit has created too many certification issues for some European clients.
HDS (healthcare certification) is becoming the default for our infrastructure.
We are keeping the same hardware policy: no compromise on performance. The new AMD EPYC 9354 processors deliver better performance in every area, along with memory bandwidth increasing from 140.8 to 460.8 GB/s.
On the network side, our standard redundant connections are increasing from 10 to 25 Gb/s.
Finally, on the storage side, the standard is increasing from 2 RAID arrays to 3.
The current 2 separate arrays provide clients with ultra-high-performance, readily available local backup space without requiring network services.
The 3rd array strengthens the overall system by serving as a spare array, enabling a more efficient, safer, and faster switch in the event of a hardware incident:
1) Local migration to the spare array to secure the data immediately.
2) Migration of the VMs to another node once the data is secure
3) Hardware maintenance on the original node
4) Tests and validation
5) Return to the original node.
