NCR WorldMark 4800 System Architecture

About the WorldMark 4800 Platform

The NCR WorldMark 4800/5200 and 4850/5250 products are Massively Parallel Processing (MPP) platforms for Teradata Warehouse applications. The platform offers two levels of scalability:

• The WorldMark 4800 and 4850 series systems are designed for data warehouses of 50 GB to 1 Terabyte (TB), with scalability from 1 to a maximum of 4 processing nodes.
• The WorldMark 5200 and 5250 series systems can support data warehouses from 250 GB to 100+ TB, and offers system expansion from 2 to 512 processing nodes.

The WorldMark 4800/5200 and 4850/5250 systems use industry standard rack mount architecture. It consists of individual subsystem chassis that are housed in standard rack frames. Subsystems are self-contained, and their configurations -- either internal or within a system -- are redundant. The design ensures overall system reliability, enhances its serviceability, and enables time and cost efficient upgrades.

About the WorldMark 4800 Subsystems

Following are the types of subsystems that can make up WorldMark 4800/5200 and 4850/5250 systems:

• Symmetrical multi-processing (SMP) nodes
• BYNET interconnect
• Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and UPS input selectors
• Server management
• Disk storage

NCR WorldMark 4800 Processing Node

SMP nodes are housed in processing racks, typically two Teradata nodes per rack. There is also a minimum single-node rack configuration housing one non-Teradata node, referred to as a non-TPA (trusted parallel applications) node.

NCR WorldMark 4800 BYNET

The nodes communicate with each other through the BYNET interconnect network. Depending on the overall system size, the BYNET network switch may be located in one of the processing racks in a system, or it may be housed in its own BYNET rack. In either case, the BYNET switch is always paired in the system for redundancy.

WorldMark 4800 Power

Multiple UPS chassis per rack support dual AC power sources. The redundant power sources feed into UPS input selectors (UIS), one on each UPS chassis.

The input selectors choose the power source and direct it to their respective UPS chassis. The UPS chassis then distribute the AC power to all other chassis within the rack. All subsystem chassis are designed with multiple power inlets.

NCR WorldMark 4800 Server Management and System Networking

Each rack contains a service subsystem that monitors and controls all the chassis in its rack. The service subsystem chassis is connected to each chassis within its rack through a Management Local Area Network (MLAN).

Service subsystems across multiple racks are connected over the System Local Area Network (SLAN). The SLAN interfaces all the racks with the Administration Workstation (AWS) for a single operational view of the complete system. The BYNET subsystems are also included in the SLAN for administration and control of the BYNET switching network. SLAN hubs are used in larger network environments to facilitate the rack-to-rack connections.

SMP nodes have a connection to the AWS over a Private Local Area Network (PvtLAN) for TCP/IP login capability. PvtLAN hub and switch hardware is used in the system racks to provide for consistent cabling protocol, from small to expansion systems.

WorldMark 4800 Disk Storage

In association with this system architecture, processing nodes are connected to disk storage devices in "cliques," where as many as four nodes share a disk array. The type of disk array determines how it is connected to the system platform. The NCR storage cabinet (NSC) and the WorldMark enterprise storage (WES) present disk arrays in a rack that includes a service subsystem chassis to link the disk cabinet to the platform. The NSC and the WES models link via an external MLAN to a controlling service subsystem in a processing rack. The 627x models are interfaced through SCSI connection software for minimal administrative functions.

In addition, a channel interface capability is available for node-to-mainframe connections.
