Leadership Position
Up to 80 /128 cores and 128 PCIe lanes demand data to be processed quickly and more jobs at the same time.
Designed for Cloud and Edge (cloud ecosystem native platform) and provides a high number of computing cores, faster throughput, and low power consumption.
Provides a management tool for cloud and edge to simplify management and improve efficiency.
Utilizing the latest in PCIe 4.0 and 128 PCIe lanes allows faster throughput in GPUs, storage and networking.
Best in class performance/watt, Ampere® Altra® continues to increase value while driving down TCO.
GIGABYTE has developed with Arm systems for almost 10 years. Servers will be ready with fast TTM and product offerings.
Developers interested in utilizing the Arm platform with NVIDIA’s stack of software and hardware can use the G242-P34, a custom and niche server designed especially for the NVIDIA Arm HPC Developer Kit. The purpose built G242-P34 with an Ampere® Altra® processor can accommodate up to 2 x NVIDIA A100 GPUs and 2 x NVIDIA Bluefield®-2 DPUs. On the software side, the incredibly stable NVIDIA HPC SDK version 21.7 is available.
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.
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.
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.
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, resulting in a 10% improvement in efficiency.
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.
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.
Clipping mechanism secures the drive in place. Install or replace a new drive in seconds.
GIGABYTE offers free-of-charge server management applications via small processor (BMC) built on the server.
