Introduction

Ampere Altra Processor Cloud Native Server Processors Ampere's Altra family of processors are designed to deliver on predictable performance, high scalability and power efficiency. Ampere's leadership on all these metrics deliver exceptional results and lower the TCO for Cloud Service Providers. Arm System Ready New generation cloud native platform with larger scope that includes Server, Embedded, and Linux. Arm ServerReady Arm has developed two generations of processors so far. GIGABYTE has assisted and supported Arm in developing solutions, including the v1.0 & 2.0 ServerReady program since 2018. GIGABYTE is the only server hardware manufacturer listed on Arm's official website under Partner Testimonials. Performance Boost 80 cores and 128 PCIe lanes demand data to be processed quickly and more jobs at the same time. Architecture Efficiency Designed for Cloud and Edge (cloud ecosystem native platform) and provides a high number of computing cores, faster throughput, and low power consumption. Aggregate Powerhouse Provides a management tool for cloud and edge to simplify management and improve efficiency. Superhighway of Data Utilizing the latest in PCIe 4.0 and 128 PCIe lanes allows faster throughput in GPUs, storage and networking. Green Savings Best in class performance/watt, Ampere Altra continues to increase value while driving down TCO. Cooperation GIGABYTE has developed with Arm systems for almost 10 years. Servers will be ready with fast TTM and product offerings. Hardware Security Hardware-level Root of Trust (RoT) Protection is built in the silicon to ensure systems will not be vulnerable to security attacks or cyber threats. This ROT helps isolate the system as the boot process starts to verify cryptographic operations and ensures the firmware is not compromised by malware. Optional TPM 2.0 Module For hardware-based authentication, the passwords, encryption keys, and digital certificates are stored in a TPM module to prevent unwanted users from gaining access to your data. GIGABYTE TPM modules come in either a Serial Peripheral Interface or Low Pin Count bus. Power Efficiency Automatic Fan Speed Control GIGABYTE servers are enabled with Automatic Fan Speed Control to achieve the best cooling and power efficiency. Individual fan speeds will be automatically adjusted according to temperature sensors strategically placed in the servers. Cold Redundancy To take advantage of the fact that a PSU will run at greater power efficiency with a higher load, GIGABYTE has introduced a power management feature called Cold Redundancy for servers with N+1 power supplies. When the total system load falls lower than 40%, the system will automatically place one PSU into standby mode, and results of 10% improvement in efficiency. High Availability Smart Ride Through (SmaRT) To prevent server downtime and data loss as a result of loss of AC power, GIGABYTE implements SmaRT in all our server platforms. When such an event occurs, the system will throttle while maintaining availability and reducing power load. Capacitors within the power supply can supply power for 10-20ms, which is enough time to transition to a backup power source for continued operation. Smart Crises Management and Protection (SCMP) SCMP is a GIGABYTE patented feature which is deployed in servers with non-fully redundant PSU design. With SCMP, in the event of faulty PSU or overheated system, the system will force the CPU into an ultra-low power mode that reduces the power load, which prevents the system from unexpected shutdown and avoids component damage or data loss. User Friendly Tool-less Drive Bays Design Clipping mechanism secures the drive in place. Install or replace a new drive in seconds. Server Management GIGABYTE offers free-of-charge server management applications via small processor (BMC) built on the server.
