The Teradata Integrated Big Data Platform 1700 is made up of a combination of cabinet types, depending on the system configuration:
  • Processing/storage cabinet
    A 1700 processing/storage cabinet contains one clique.
    • A cabinet with a 1+0 clique contains one database processing node and two disk arrays. The second disk array is half populated.
    • A cabinet with a 1+1 clique contains one database processing node, one hot standby node, and two disk arrays. The second disk array is half populated.
    • A cabinet with a 2+0 clique contains two database processing nodes and three disk arrays.
    • A cabinet with a 2+1 clique contains two database processing nodes, one hot standby node, and three disk arrays.
    • A cabinet with a 3+0 clique contains three database processing nodes and three disk arrays.

    Other chassis in the processing/storage cabinet provide power and server management functionality. For systems scalable to 22 nodes with BYNET-over-Ethernet or to 36 nodes with BYNET V5 InfiniBand, the processing/storage cabinet contains two 24-port BYNET-over-Ethernet switches or two 36-port BYNET V5 InfiniBand switches. Cabinets may also contain Teradata managed servers (TMSs), channel servers, extended channel solution (ECS) servers, network connectivity servers (NCSs), or SAS HPA worker nodes.

  • BYNET V5 cabinet
    Each BYNET V5 cabinet contains one or two InfiniBand switches, depending on the configuration. AC boxes in the cabinet provide power. Ethernet switches provide server management functionality.
    • A 108-port switch cabinet supports scalability from one to a maximum of 108 nodes. The cabinet contains two 108-port switches for redundancy. The cabinet can also contain an optional System VMS and KVM and up to two TMS servers.
    • A 162-port switch cabinet supports scalability from one to a maximum of 162 nodes. 162-port switch cabinets are paired for redundancy. Each cabinet can also contain an optional System VMS and KVM and up to three TMS servers.
    • A 324-port switch cabinet supports scalability from one to a maximum of 324 nodes. 324-port switch cabinets are paired for redundancy.
    System configurations larger than 324 nodes (to a maximum of 1,024 nodes) are accommodated by special order.
  • Platform Framework Cabinet (PFC)

    The PFC can contain any combination of channel servers, ECS servers, TMS servers, NCS servers, SAS HPA worker nodes, and other switches. The PFC can also be used to support system configurations that require a dedicated Service Workstation server. Other chassis in the cabinet provide power and server management functionality.

    This guide refers generally to the Platform Framework Cabinets that may be part of your system. For more information, see the Teradata Platform Framework Cabinet Model 12 Product and Site Preparation Guide for the PFC cabinet delivered with your system.
