NCR WorldMark 5200 System Architecture
About the WorldMark 5200 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 5200 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 5200 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 5200 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 5200 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 5200 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 5200 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.
