Why Ampere^® Altra^® Max based Server?

Accelerator Computing

Performance Boost

Up to 80 /128 cores and 128 PCIe lanes demand data to be processed quickly and more jobs at the same time.

Flexibility

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.

Availability

Aggregate Powerhouse

Provides a management tool for cloud and edge to simplify management and improve efficiency.

Availability

Superhighway of Data

Utilizing the latest in PCIe 4.0 and 128 PCIe lanes allows faster throughput in GPUs, storage and networking.

Availability

Green Savings

Best in class performance/watt, Ampere^® Altra^® continues to increase value while driving down TCO.

Availability

Cooperation

GIGABYTE has developed with Arm systems for almost 10 years. Servers will be ready with fast TTM and product offerings.

Hardware Security

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.

High Availability

Dual ROM Architecture

If the ROM that stores the BMC and BIOS fails to boot, the system will reboot with the backup BMC and/or BIOS replacing the primary. Once the primary BMC is updated, the ROM of the backup BMC will automatically update the backup through synchronization. For the BIOS, it can be updated based on user's choice of firmware version.

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
