Introduction

Where Compute Reigns 3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors - "Ice Lake" GIGABYTE servers and Intel Xeon Scalable Processors deliver incredible 1P/2P performance from edge to data center with incredible gains in I/O throughput and workload demands that need high performing CPUs with large, yet optimized, memory configurations. - Enhanced I/0: Support for PCIe 4.0 allows for double the throughput of PCIe 3.0 for fast and large data transfers. Also, 64 lanes per socket with up to 128 lanes in a 2P configuration for fast data transmission from CPU to GPU, accelerator or storage. - CPU Performance Boost: Now up to 40 cores per socket with greatly improved IPC on Intel's 10nm architecture while operating CPUs at 105-270W. Also, an additional UPI lane is added for up to 11.2GT/s for a low latency interconnect between CPUs. - Next Gen Memory: Support for DDR4-3200MHz (1DPC or 2DPC) DIMM. 8 channel memory has been added with up to 16 DIMMs per socket delivering up to 4TB of system memory via usage of 256GB DDR4 DIMM. Additionally, 2/4/6/8-way interleaves for optimal configuration. - Arrival of Intel Optane PMem 200 Series: Optimized for improvements in latency while increasing system memory up to 6TB per socket as a mix of PMem and DDR. The 200 Series also has support for memory mode to expand capacity and app direct mode to act as fast flash storage. - Next Level Security: New instructions and architecture deliver a high level of cryptographic operations for data privacy and protection. Cryptographic accelerators speed up encryption protocols as well as improvements in software guard extensions and memory encryption are added. - AI Acceleration: AI inference and training are enhanced with DL Boost Technology for greater business, operational, and security insights. Applications include HPC, AI, and Media & Graphics. High-performance Support max TDP and fast Gen4 SSD Requiring the ultimate performance in every aspect of a server is possible. GIGABYTE servers have been designed to support the cutting edge, high-end CPUs while utilizing the latest in PCIe 4.0 for fast throughput. And the platforms are supported by 8 channel for up to 16 DIMMs per node to offer optimal configurations. Scalability Support CMC chipset for efficient management Central Management Controller (CMC) for chassis-level management and node-level monitoring by connecting internally to BMC chips integrated on each node. This results only in one MLAN connection required to perform monitoring of all four nodes, resulting in less Top of Rack (ToR) cabling and switch connections. Availability Dual ROM ensure server operate independently Downtime is not a word wanted to be heard in IT. The ability to have stable and continuous server operation is crucial for business operations. Steps have been taken with redundant PSUs, hot-swap drives, dual ROM, and fault tolerances to ensure GIGABYTE servers operate independently from anywhere. Server Management GIGABYTE offers free-of-charge server management applications via small processor (BMC) built on the server. Provides: - Server health monitoring - Remote troubleshooting - Resource utilization monitoring - Reduction in server downtimes GIGABYTE Management Console - Single server management - Feature-rich and easy to use browser-based interface - Integration of 3rd party applications - Automatic recording function - SAS / RAID controller monitoring function GIGABYTE Server Management (GSM) Multiple server management platform Compatible w/ IPMI or Redfish Certified Ready with Software Partners Being a member of key software alliance partner programs enables GIGABYTE to together rapidly develop and validate joint solutions, enabling our customers to modernize their data centers and implement IT infrastructure and application services with speed, agility, and cost optimization. GIGABYTE servers have a compatibility across various ecosystems. CMC for Chassis Management & Multi-Node Monitoring GIGABYTE's H-Series Servers feature a Chassis Management Controller (CMC) for chassis-level management and node-level monitoring by connecting internally to BMC chips integrated on each node. This results only in one MLAN connection required to perform monitoring of all four nodes*, resulting in less Top of Rack (ToR) cabling and switch connections. Multi-Server Management GIGABYTE's H-Series Servers also feature the ability to create a "ring" connection for monitoring & management of all servers (incl. chassis-level & node-level) in a rack (including iKVM support) with an onboard LAN hub and dual MLAN ports*. Only two ToR (Top of Rack) switch connections are needed to create the ring system, and the ring will not be broken even if one server in the chain is shut down, reducing cabling and switch port usage for greater cost savings and management efficiency.
