Pioneer in rackmount server hardware to offer new family of Atlas server systems built on AMD’s newest family of server processors to better handle the most demanding applications and data center workloads.

REDMOND, WASH. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 26, 2019

Pogo Linux, a lea­ding sup­pli­er of rack­mount ser­vers for the modern data cen­ter, today unvei­led six sin­gle-socket and dual-socket sys­tems based on the newest AMD EPYC™ pro­ces­sor, code-named “Rome”. The rede­si­gned Atlas AMD Ser­vers will take advan­ta­ge of Rome’s fea­tures that focus on high-per­for­mance com­pu­ting, mul­ti-cloud imple­men­ta­ti­on, vir­tua­liza­ti­on and data-inten­si­ve workloads at the edge. The new Pogo Linux AMD EPYC™ ser­vers are now ship­ping in volu­me across the company’s enti­re Atlas ser­ver pro­duct lineup.

AMD has made signi­fi­cant chan­ges to their CPU archi­tec­tu­re which help deli­ver twice the num­ber of cores and threads than the pre­vious Zen archi­tec­tu­re. Com­pared to the ‘Nap­les’ pro­ces­sor archi­tec­tu­re, Zen 2 has 32 bil­li­on tran­sis­tors, which makes it one of the most den­se­ly-packed chip design ever deve­lo­ped. Code-named “Rome”, the 2nd-gene­ra­ti­on AMD CPUs are the first x86 pro­ces­sors to mar­ket based on 7 nano­me­ter (nm) tech­no­lo­gy. While lowe­ring power con­sump­ti­on and impro­ving ins­truc­tions per cycle, the 7‑nm core pro­cess tech­no­lo­gy has dou­bled the den­si­ty with up to 64 cores and up to 128 threads.

Users of Pogo Linux AMD EPYC™ 7002 Series powered ser­vers will expe­ri­ence hig­her clock speeds for enter­pri­se and data cen­ter workloads. Atlas ser­vers built on AMD’s newest fami­ly of ser­ver pro­ces­sors will bet­ter hand­le the most deman­ding appli­ca­ti­ons and data cen­ter needs, inclu­ding arti­fi­ci­al intel­li­gence (AI), data ana­ly­tics, high-per­for­mance com­pu­ting (HPC), cloud com­pu­ting, vir­tua­liza­ti­on, soft­ware-defi­ned infra­struc­tu­re, and big data ana­ly­tics than pre­vious “Nap­les” EPYC™ servers.

Known for deli­ve­ring best-in-class per­for­mance with a lower total cost of owner­ship, Pogo Linux Atlas AMD ser­ver sys­tems have pro­vi­ded the pro­ces­sing back­bone for a broad ran­ge of IT appli­ca­ti­ons and workloads sin­ce 1999. The refres­hed ser­ver line of Atlas 1U thru 4U sin­gle- and dual-pro­ces­sor sys­tems equip­ped with AMD EPYC™ 7002 Series Pro­ces­sors highlight:

Advan­ced CPU Archi­tec­tu­re – Built using Zen 2 high-per­for­mance cores and AMD’s inno­va­ti­ve Chip­let architecture.

“We’re exci­ted and thank­ful to have Pogo Linux sup­port­ing the launch of AMD EPYC™ 7002 Series Pro­ces­sors,” said Scott Aylor, cor­po­ra­te vice pre­si­dent and gene­ral mana­ger, Dat­a­cen­ter Solu­ti­ons Group, AMD. “Their Atlas EPYC™ based solu­ti­ons are poi­sed to deli­ver a new stan­dard for modern dat­a­cen­ter cus­to­mers. With twice the cores, breakth­rough per­for­mance and embedded secu­ri­ty pro­tec­tion, all deli­ver­ed by a lea­der­ship archi­tec­tu­re, cus­to­mers can trans­form their dat­a­cen­ter ope­ra­ti­ons at the pace of their business.”

“Pogo Linux has a long histo­ry of buil­ding sys­tems fea­turing AMD pro­ces­sors going back to the first Ath­lon and Opte­ron pro­ces­sors,” said Chris Ste­ven­son, VP Sales & Pro­duct Deve­lo­p­ment for Pogo Linux. “Our cus­to­mers have been asking for upgrades to their exis­ting AMD sys­tems and the new EPYC™ pro­ces­sors are a huge leap for­ward. The high core counts and lar­ge memo­ry capa­bi­li­ties enable us to build com­pu­te-den­se Atlas ser­ver designs for HPC and Inter­net cus­to­mers with appli­ca­ti­ons requi­ring it for key tasks and caches.”

The rede­si­gned Pogo Linux Atlas ser­vers include four 1U models with sin­gle-socket or dual-socket opti­ons, and two 2U models with dual-socket sys­tem con­fi­gu­ra­ti­ons. The pri­ce for the 1U models is around $1,800, while the 2U models start at $2,800. All are stan­dard rack­mount chas­sis form-fac­tors and are available now.

About Atlas Ser­ver Systems
The Pogo Linux Atlas pro­duct line of AMD ser­vers are desi­gned to meet the high-per­for­mance com­pu­ting (HPC), embedded secu­ri­ty, and per­for­mance value to address modern data cen­ter workloads. Fea­turing 2nd-gene­ra­ti­on AMD EPYC™ pro­ces­sors, Atlas ser­vers enable high­ly-den­se com­pu­ting with sup­port for up to 64 high-per­for­mance cores and up to 128 threads per socket. The Atlas ser­ver family’s ‘secu­re by design’ CPU archi­tec­tu­re with embedded secu­ri­ty and per­va­si­ve encryp­ti­on pro­tects the CPU, data and appli­ca­ti­ons, inclu­ding up to 500 vir­tu­al machi­nes. Expe­ri­ence excep­tio­nal per­for­mance for value from dou­ble the core and thread counts which means a sin­gle-socket Atlas AMD EPYC™ ser­ver exceeds the per­for­mance-per-socket of a com­pa­ra­ble lega­cy dual-socket ser­ver. All Atlas ser­ver sys­tems include pre-instal­led com­mer­cial or free Linux dis­tri­bu­ti­on ope­ra­ting sys­tems and come with a three-year warranty.
