Huawei... server? (PWJ100)

We know Hauwei from smartphones but have you ever seen a Huawei server? Here it is... model 2288H-V5. For more information about Huawei Enterprise products, I recommend you to visit the Huawei Enterprise Support Community: bit.ly/36yjWld

[@WalterFabian]

Congratulations on the first 100! Always enjoy your videos. Please keep them coming! BTW: Those PSUs look a lot like HP ones. Thanks for sharing!

[@PlaywithJunk]

I had a Fujitsu server with a defective power supply yesterday. It was exactly the same as in the HP DL380 G5. The only difference was that the handle was green instead of black and ONE connector pin was different.... the HP P.S. did not work, we had to buy a Fujitsu one. But same manufacturer...

[@simontay4851]

Why can't the pinout and physical size of server PSUs be standardised like ATX. They should be so any PSU can work with any server. Its stupid that only 1 pin being slightly different made it not work.

[@kbhasi]

Yep, Huawei was very much into telecommunications backend stuff and servers before they later started their own "consumer products" division which is what makes the stuff like their P and Mate series phones.

[@barryg41]

Congratulations on the 100th show!

[@douro20]

Actually it was NCR, then AMI, then LSI Logic, then Avago and now Broadcom

[@PlaywithJunk]

Yeah I forgot NCR.... I remember... brrrrrr!

6:14 - Insyde Technologies also develops UEFI/BIOS firmware for other OEMs like HP (aside from Phoenix Technologies and American Megatrends).

[@zaprodk]

That's a nice CPU - that's an amazing amount of pads on that sucker!

[@madbstard1]

Congrats on the century

[@markarca6360]

Since it is a Skylake (the last microarchitecture to support Win7), it is possible to disable secure boot and run WS2008 R2 and Win7.

[@markarca6360]

5:38 - The first one is incorrect. Adaptec is acquired first by PMC-Sierra (hence the branding "Adaptec by PMC" after the acquisition) and subsequently acquired by Microsemi Technologies (current branding is Microsemi Adaptec). The second, third, and fourth one is correct. LSI was acquired by Avago Technologies, then Avago was acquired by Broadcom.

"After installing OS, remember to install drivers and upgrade firmware!"

[@TitanOne1337]

They also make Routers

[@SproutyPottedPlant]

Dennis Bondar don't forget mobile modem USB sticks and hotspots!

[@wiziek]

They are telecommunications company, they are making enterprise grade routers or switches.

[@markarca6360]

And wireless cellular (4G and 5G) equipment.

[@warup89]

Interesting cpu, really big for being a quad core.

[@andycristea]

Marco Bogani it's a low end one. I believe xeon gold go up to 22 cores/cpu so that server could be an 88 thread beast!

ok, i am really intrested for this server. How Mouch? And do you will ship it to Hamburg Germany? It looks like a nice host system for a vmware esxi.

[@PlaywithJunk]

It's not for sale. It belongs to a customer. He paid 15'000 Euros. Dell will ship it to Hamburg too :-)

[@zvpunry1971]

Time to boot Debian + LXC containers: less then a minute. :) Time to boot uefi and all those nasty bios-modules: many many minutes. :( It is almost always faster to let another server take over then it is to wait for servers to reach the bootloader. But this increases the overall complexity, which is another bad thing. I don't like computers anymore, for every problem they solve, they create a few new ones.

[@PlaywithJunk]

I know what you mean... Some servers take up to 5 minutes until they start booting. I always thought that computers have become faster.... It seems that HP has realized the problem and they advertise the new Gen10 server as booting after only 50 seconds. I have tried it - It took 90 seconds :-)

[@zvpunry1971]

Computers have become faster, but the extremely shitty firmware with all the useless or even harmful stuff has become slower then ever before.

[@djangoryffel5135]

0:35 jo, wusste ich, ist mir soweit eigentlich auch als einziger Anbieter bekannt, welcher "modulare" RZ in Container zum mieten anbietet. - oder dies zumindest auch gegenüber Passanten so kommuniziert.

[@eW0LF]

"no need to apply thermal paste when you change that" ?

[@tjmbv8680]

funny i never knew they made smart phones but i did know they made servers and network appliances

[@UmbreWolf]

how much for one?

[@PlaywithJunk]

Base model about $2500. Depends on configuration and can go up to $30000 with 100'sGB of RAM... Disks.... add-on cards.

[@balcant]

Hello, I'm desperate, does anyone have the chipset drivers and ram modules? They are for a rh5885h v3 server :(

[@PlaywithJunk]

Huawei is a bit problematic with downloads. You need a partner or engineer account login. As memory you need DDR4 registered RDIMM or load reduced LRDIMM. You can not mix RDIMM and LRDIMM. Any memory of the correct type will work, you don't need explicit Huawei memory.

[@ano_nymouse]

looks really similar to dell r700 series

[@andycristea]

Ano Nymous also reminded me of a r740

[@PlaywithJunk]

Dell R700, HP DL380, IBM x3650....

[@hawkinssherpherd7869]

Because they use a unified standard design developed by Intel.

[@AmitChaudhry27]

Congo on 1000 videos and awesome Video

[@PlaywithJunk]

Thanks but it was only nr. 100 ;-)

[@BMRStudio]

PWJ yeeeeeah :)

[@Zuchtkatzendaddy]

a bit short but still nice

[@Moonblade042194]

Mmmmm servers with Chinese backdoors

[@djangoryffel5135]

Evergreen have a look on Cicso, Networkingstuff without even a wall there where the backdoor would be ;)

[@PlaywithJunk]

What do you think where HP, IBM, Dell servers are made? Apple? Samsung? If they want to include some backdoors they have all possibilities...

[@djangoryffel5135]

Evergreen or have a look at the Snowden Papers, where he leaked information about cottonmouth and so on.

[@Moonblade042194]

Sure but huawei has been doing it on network gear and servers for years, that they have been trying to give to telcom companies for years. Last 3 years we've been offered 3 different 100Gbps switches from Huawei for free at our internet exchange but we've turned them down every time because they are a state sponsored organization.

[@totoxahc]

Evergreen you should accept the switches and prove that they contain backdoors

[@simontay4851]

Can the name of it be changed from "The Server" to something more meaningful. "The server" is not a very imaginative name. What if you had 2 or more of these. They cant all be called "The server", that would get confusing.

[@HuntersMoon78]

I like Huawei hardware and saying that my P9 Lite has gone T.U.

[@JEGD9826]

Some chinese phones inside lol

[@badmeme486]

The fastest computerised way to spy on foreigners

[@markarca6360]

The US DoD named them as a "security threat", prompting Google to gradually remove Android support on Huawei smartphones. The last hope for Huawei is the AOSP (Android Open-Source Project).
