Abstract: In order to satisfy the demands of heterogeneous resource management and aggregation in the application of cloud computing and big data area, this paper introduces the architecture and key supporting technologies of converged infrastructure cloud server. Taking advantage of pooled hardware resources technology, the infrastructure of computing, storage, network, power, cooling and management resources would be software defined and reconfigurable. The converged cloud server infrastructure may reduce the cost of data center IT hardware purchases and daily maintenance, achieve the better Total Cost of Ownership （TCO） that results from sharply reduced spending in procurement, operation and maintenance and energy consumption. From the practical cases in the financial, telecommunications and Internet industry, compared with the traditional server, the power consumption of the converged infrastructure server is decreased by more than 15%, in another word, total cost reduces approximately 15%. Consequently, reducing the cost of server procurement, internet data center infrastructure construction and server daily maintenance would better meet the requirements of customer in the cloud computing and big data era.

Key words: converged infrastructure, cloud server, pooled hardware resources, centralized power supply, centralized cooling, centralized management, total cost of ownership
