PRESS RELEASE

13th September, Taipei - GIGABYTE announces the release of its first high-density servers to adopt Intel's Xeon® Scalable architecture. Leveraging GIGABYTE's renowned precision-engineered high-density designs, these updated server offerings extract maximum performance from Intel's latest generation platforms.  GIGABYTE's 2U, 4-node and 2U, 2-GPU node rear-access systems, supported by comprehensive storage options, offer some of the most dense compute devices on the market today.

GIGABYTE's new system takes advantage of the performance benefits that Intel has built in to target the increasingly demanding HPC segment. Intel itself has added:
 
Increased Memory Performance
 
The CPU architecture allows for an increased bandwidth of up to 2666MT/s. This is supported by new AVX-512 to boost performance. 
 
Innovative Extension Options
 
Innovative storage; integrated QAT for improved compression and security; improved networking. This also means that the 10% increase (gen-on-gen) in I/O is not compromised by the fabric and can be used for additional storage and accelerators.

GIGABYTE's design team has developed a series of systems incorporating both the advancements of Intel's Xeon Scalable family and the unique precision design features that GIGABYTE is recognized for.

What's New?

High Density Add-On Slots - GIGABYTE leads the way in terms of add-on slots for Intel Xeon Scalable systems in the market.

With 4-nodes, these designs provide 2x OCP slots and options for either:
  • 8x Low-Profile, or
  • 4x Low-Profile and 2x Dual-slot GPU
Designed For Optimal Efficiency
  • 'Direct Board Connection' technology: reduces cabling and improves thermal dynamics
  • 'Token Ring' Cabling: reduces the number of ToR switch connectors (and cost), and allows for 'daisy-chain' connection if any one rack fails
  • Multi-Node Management: unified management for all nodes in a particular rack
  • Optimal thermal design with double fan rack wall
Environmental Compliance immediate adherence to new RoHS regulations introduced in July 2017

In addition, GIGABYTE's systems continue to ship with:

Tool-less design for ease of installation and management
- IPMI and Redfish compatibility as standard
