Patent number: 9697165Abstract: A server system is described. The server system comprises first motherboard having first processor module coupled to first memory module, second motherboard having second processor module coupled to second memory module, first back plate having first PCIE switch chip coupled to second PCIE switch chip via PCIE transmission channel. The first processor module is coupled to the first PCIE switch chip and the second processor module is coupled to the second PCIE switch chip. The first processor module converts the memory data of the first memory module into PCIE packet data to be transmitted to the second processor module by first PCIE switch chip and second PCIE switch chip. The second processor module converts the received PCIE packet data into memory data of second memory module for synchronizing the memory data of first motherboard and the second motherboard.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2014Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignees: INVENTEC (PUDONG) TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION, INVENTEC CORPORATIONInventor: Xiong-Jie Yu

Patent number: 9641612Abstract: A virtualized fusion storage sub-system comprises a first server node; a second server node; and a common storage pool including a hard disk cluster. The first and the second server nodes simultaneously access the common storage pool. Said sub-system has an operation system installed thereon. A storage space unit is defined in the operation system. The first and the second server nodes access the hard disk cluster through the storage space unit so as to carry out synchronization of the first and the second server nodes, thereby assuring a storage redundancy configuration. The operation system has a file server and a virtual server arranged therein. The virtual server is correspondingly connected to the file server on a basis of stacking of application programs of the operation system so as to carry out rapidly match therebetween.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2014Date of Patent: May 2, 2017Assignee: INVENTEC (PUDONG) TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventor: Xiong-Jie Yu

Patent number: 9535468Abstract: A server includes a storage module, a first expander board, a second expander board, a first mother board, and a second mother board. The storage module includes a plurality of storage units. The second mother board includes at least one second central processing unit. The plurality of storage units are coupled with the first expander board and the second expander board. The first expander board and the second expander board are coupled with the first mother board and the second mother board. When at least one of the first and the second mother board operates normally and at least one of the first and the second expander board operates normally, the at least normally-operating one of the first and the second mother board accesses the storage module through the at least normally-operating one of the first and the second expander board.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2014Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignees: INVENTEC (PUDONG) TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION, INVENTEC CORPORATIONInventor: Xiong-Jie Yu
