The ETRI (Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute), one of Korea’s state think tanks, said on Wednesday its research team successfully localized a low-power microserver dubbed Kosmos whose density is 10-fold greater than conventional servers. Demand for high density and low power computing servers has been increasing to store and handle a huge amount of data generated from IoT sensors and big data technology.
One typical server frame measuring width of 48 centimeters and height of 22 centimeters can house a total of 64 Kosmos servers, meaning the packing density increases by more than 10 times from conventional x86 servers.
“The high-density and low-power module server also features easy system management support through a management module as well as on high-speed interserver communication, said the ETRI’s research team, adding "The Kosmos server could have a far-reaching impact on the industry ecosystem, activating the domestic server industry and creating jobs.”
The research institute aims to take leadership in the emerging low-power and high-density server segment in Korea where foreign brands have been dominant.
