Ampere doneaza hardware pentru Debian pentru a fortifica ecosistemul Arm

Ampere s- a asociat cu Debian pentru a sprijini infrastructura hardware prin donarea a trei dintre serverele Arm64 de inalta performanta Ampere. Aceste servere Lenovo ThinkSystem HR330A contin procesorul eMAG al lui Ampere cu un procesor Arm®v8 pe 64 de biti special conceput pentru serverele cloud, echipat cu 256 GB RAM, SSD-uri duble de 960 GB si un NIC port dublu de 25 GbE.

Serverele donate au fost implementate la University of British Columbia, partenerul Debian de gazduire din Vancouver, Canada. Administratorii de sistem Debian (DSA) i-au configurat sa ruleze daemoni arm64 / armhf / armel, inlocuind demoni de construire care ruleaza pe placi de grad mai putin puternice de dezvoltare. Pe masinile virtuale cu jumatate de numar de vCPU alocate, rezultatul a fost ca timpul pentru a construi pachete Arm * a fost redus la jumatate cu sistemul eMAG Ampere.

Ampere: Our partnership with Debian supports our developer strategy to expand the open source communities which run on Ampere servers to further build out the Arm64 ecosystem and enable the creation of new applications, said Mauri Whalen, vice president of software engineering at Ampere. Debian is a well-run and respected community, and we are proud to work with them.

The Debian System Administrators are grateful to Ampere for the donation of carrier-grade Arm64 servers. Having servers with integrated standard management interfaces such as Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI), and with Lenovo's hardware warranties and support organization behind them, is precisely what DSA has been wanting for the Arm64 architecture. These servers are very powerful and very well equipped: we anticipate using them for general services in addition to Arm64 build daemons. I think they'll prove to be very appealing to cloud operators and I'm thrilled that Ampere Computing has partnered with Debian. - Luca Filipozzi, Debian System Administrator.
