Gigabyte announces new single socket servers with epyc processors
Table of contents:
GIGABYTE has added three new single socket GPU and storage servers to its lineup with AMD EPYC. The new GPU servers are the 2U G291-Z20 and G221-Z30 and the storage server is the 4U S451-Z30, which take advantage of the full computing power of AMD EPYC 32-core, more than 2TB of memory capacity and 128 PCIe lines per socket.
GIGABYTE is fully committed to new EPYC servers
The G291-Z20 and G221-Z30 models are fully compatible with AMD's new Radeon Instinct MI25 GPU, which features over 24.6 TFLOPS on FP16 and 12.3 TFLOPS on FP32. The MI25 also has great BAR (Base Address Register) support for multi-GPU communication.
The G291-Z20 includes up to 8 dual-slot GPGPU cards in a 2U form factor chassis. GIGABYTE indicates that its high GPU density enables the G291-Z20 to thrive in HPC applications, including real-time analytics, scientific modeling and simulation programs, engineering, visualization, rendering, and data mining.
The G221-Z30 supports 2 dual-slot GPGPU cards, but one of the expansion ports (1 x PCIe x16 FHFL + 1 x PCIe x 8 FHHL slots) can also be used for high-speed network cards. The G221-Z30 also combines GPU compatibility with some pretty solid storage features. This makes the server a cost-effective, flexible and versatile HPC solution for research and development applications.
The S451-Z30 has a capacity of 36 3.5-inch drives (24 at the front and 12 at the rear) to accommodate around 500TB of storage. GIGABYTE believes this makes the server a perfect scaling, “add as you go system” for a software defined storage cluster. Plus, with its 2 x 2 x 2 x 2.5 ″ hot-swappable SSD / hard drive bays in the back for operating system boot disks, companies and small businesses can use the S451-Z30 as a standalone storage device. too.
GIGABYTE has decided not to include a SAS expansion card in the standard version so that customers can use their own HW or SW RAID card. These are the new GIGABYTE servers, which are betting on EPYC chips.
