CSU 0201

Compute Sled Unit

Ericsson Software Defined Infrastructure
Ericsson Compute Sled Unit (CSU) 0201 is an Intel® Rack Scale Design
(RSD) optimized compute resource supporting hardware disaggregation
with Ericsson Storage Sled Units (SSU). It increases efficiency and hardware
utilization through seamless scaling of compute and storage infrastructure
to fit workload needs. CSU 0201 also provides next generation out-of-
band management with RSD/PSME, which secures separation of cloud
management and equipment management. Each compute sled can
accommodate up to two Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor CPUs, providing
exceptional processing performance and monumental leaps in I/O, memory,
storage and network technologies.
