Technologies for switching network traffic include a network switch. The network switch includes one or more processors and communication circuitry coupled to the one or more processors. The communication circuity is capable of switching network traffic of multiple link layer protocols. Additionally, the network switch includes one or more memory devices storing instructions that, when executed, cause the network switch to receive, with the communication circuitry through an optical connection, network traffic to be forwarded, and determine a link layer protocol of the received network traffic. The instructions additionally cause the network switch to forward the network traffic as a function of the determined link layer protocol. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for efficiently managing commands in a solid-state storage device that includes a solid-state storage arranged in two or more banks. Each bank is separately accessible and includes two or more solid-state storage elements accessed in parallel by a storage input/output bus. The solid-state storage includes solid-state, non-volatile memory. The solid-state storage device includes a bank interleave that directs one or more commands to two or more queues, where the one or more commands are separated by command type into the queues. Each bank includes a set of queues in the bank interleave controller. Each set of queues includes a queue for each command type. The bank interleave controller coordinates among the banks execution of the commands stored in the queues, where a command of a first type executes on one bank while a command of a second type executes on a second bank.

A graphics processing unit (GPU) server having a GPU host head with one or more host graphics processing units (GPUs). The GPU server further has a GPU system with a plurality of system GPUs that are separate from the host GPUs, and that are configured to rapidly accelerate creation of images for output to a display device. The GPU server also has a mounting assembly that integrates the GPU host head and the GPU system into a single GPU server unit. The GPU host head is independently movable relative to the GPU system.

A build on-demand chassis with a universal bay system that can be assembled into different configurations to support different system requirements from end users includes positionable partitions and a bay support assembly for each set of devices. A controller communicates with a microcontroller unit (MCU) in each bay support assembly to determine a slot identifier and a type of device supported by the bay support assembly to provide greater flexibility in what configurations are possible. When a processor in the information handling system sends an instruction for a type of device, the controller knows the location and capabilities of the device and manages the communication.

One embodiment provides a system and method for reshaping the power budget of a cabinet to facilitate an improved deployment density of servers. A battery cabinet comprises: a plurality of sealed batteries; a power outlet; and a power management module coupled to the sealed batteries and the power outlet. The power management module comprises: a power monitoring module configured to monitor a first amount of power consumed by one or more computing devices via a main power supply; a detection module configured to detect that the first amount of power consumption exceeds a predetermined power consumption threshold; and a power provision module configured to provide, via the sealed batteries, power to the power outlet until the first amount of power consumption no longer exceeds the predetermined power consumption threshold.

An enclosure for receiving a plurality of storage components is provided. The enclosure includes a deck, a top cover, a front panel, a stress distributing member, and a pair of component housings. The front panel is disposed between the deck and the top cover disposed over the deck. The stress distributing member traverses an entire width of the deck and is fastened to the deck and the top cover. A front section is defined between the front panel and the stress distributing member. The component housings are arranged in the front section. Each of the component housings has a front end facing outward the enclosure and a back end facing inward the enclosure. Each of the component housings is configured to receive at least a set of one or more of the storage components, and ends of the stress distributing member extend beyond the front ends of the component housings.

A computing system comprises a module cage for containing a system board and a plurality of pluggable modules, the module cage having a front face, the pluggable modules arranged in at least two rows of pluggable module locations extending parallel to the front face within the module cage. A layered module locking system including a sliding front locking handle and a sliding rear locking handle is provided. the sliding rear locking handle extending beneath the front locking handle. The sliding locking handles each includes at least one locking feature for slidably engaging with at least one foot of a pluggable module.

A handle mechanism is to be mounted on a slidable plate and to slide the slidable plate relative to a chassis. The handle mechanism includes a handle and an engagement component. The handle is adapted to be pivotably disposed on the slidable plate so as to have an engaged position and a disengaged position. The engagement component is slidably disposed on the handle and adapted to contact the chassis to slide the slidable plate into the chassis. The engagement component has a contact surface, and the contact surface has an edge located away from an axis of the handle. A distance between the edge of the contact surface of the engagement component and the axis of the handle in the engaged position is smaller than a distance between the edge of the contact surface of the engagement component and the axis of the handle in the disengaged position.

A computing unit configured to be mounted in a HPC cabinet comprising an external body and an internal body that comprises secondary electronic components. The internal body being releasably coupled with the external body in order to allow extraction of the internal body when the external body is secured fixedly to the HPC cabinet. The computing unit also includes at least one front lever pivotally coupled to the internal body and configured to latch with a latching wall of the external body and to latch with the bottom wall of the external body in order to releasably couple the internal body with the external body.
