2 Acano X Series Server
Does Acano provide a software or hardware solution?
The Acano solution comprises a number of software modules that can run on top of an Intel x86-
based platform for the complete solution which is called the Acano X series server deployment in
the documentation. Acano supplies both software and the x86-based servers for the Acano X
series server deployment.
A virtualized deployment is also available.
Can the Acano X series server also run on DC power?
The Acano X series server has been designed to use a DC power supply module as well as the
currently supplied AC power supplies. The DC power supply will be provided as an option,
contact your Acano sales representative for details.
The DC supplies will be a plug-in module of exactly the same size as the AC module. The input
voltage range is 40 - 72V and it will have all the expected over voltage and regulation features,
as well as load balancing on the internal power bus.
What is the average power consumption of the Acano X series server?
We don't publish an average power consumption figure. The product Hardware Datasheet
specifies a maximum power figure of 1000W for X3, X2 and X1 (all three models have the same
power supply). The actual consumption at any time will be dependent on a great many factors
so it is not possible to provide an average value for you. You may well indeed be seeing a much
lower value than 1000W reported in the Syslog in tests you are doing at the moment. We would
advise provisioning for the value given in the datasheet to allow for the possibility that future
software updates will change the performance of the hardware and result in a corresponding
change in power consumption.
What heat output does the air conditioning need to cope with?
When provisioning air conditioning for the X series server allow for the following heat output from
each model.
Model
BTU/h approx.
X1
1706
X2
2559
X3
3412
What is the form factor of the Acano x86-based servers?
The Acano X series server is a 2U high, 19" rack-mountable box.
