FLEXIBLE SERVER SYSTEM

摘要

A flexible server system includes an embedded processor, one or more processor boards, one or more storage boards, and a switch including a plurality of ports. The embedded processor, the one or more processor boards, and the one or more storage boards are connected to a corresponding one of the plurality of ports. The embedded processor, the one or more processor boards, the one or more storage boards, and the switch each include a peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) interface. The one or more processor boards and the one or more storage boards are connected to the switch through connectors where each of the corresponding connectors have a same size. The embedded processor controls the switch to route a packet from one of the plurality of ports to another one of the plurality of ports.
