GIGABYTE Announces New Single Socket Servers with EPYC Processors

GIGABYTE has added three new storage servers and single socket GPUs to its AMD EPYC product range. The new GPU servers are the 2U G291-Z20 and G221-Z30 and the storage server is the 4U S451-Z30, which uses the full computing power of AMD EPYC with 32 cores, more than 2 TB storage capacity and 128 PCIe lines per socket.

The G291-Z20 and G221-Z30 are fully compatible with AMD’s new Radeon Instinct MI25 GPU, which features 24.6 TFLOPS in FP16 and 12.3 TFLOPS in FP32. The MI25 also has a large BAR (Base Address Register) support for multi-GPU communication.

The G291-Z20 contains up to 8 dual-slot GPGPU cards in a 2U chassis. GIGABYTE points out that the high GPU density enables the G291-Z20 to succeed in HPC applications such as real-time analysis, simulation and scientific modeling software, engineering, visualization, rendering and data mining.

The G221-Z30 supports 2 dual-slot GPGPU cards, but you can also use one of the expansion ports (1 x PCIe x16 FHFL + 1 x PCIe x 8 FHHL slots) for high-speed network cards. The G221-Z30 also combines GPU support with some fairly robust storage capabilities. This makes the server a versatile, flexible and cost-effective HPC solution for research and development applications.

The S451-Z30 has a capacity of 36 3.5-inch drives (24 in the front and 12 in the rear) for approximately 500 TB of storage space. GIGABYTE believes that the server is a perfect “add as you go system” for a software-defined storage cluster. With 2 x 2 x 2 x 2.5 hot-swappable hard disk/SSD bays on the back for operating system boot disks, the S451-Z30 can also be used as a standalone storage device by businesses and small businesses.

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 that use EPYC chips.
