QCT Now Offering AMD EPYC™ 7002 Series Processor Based Systems to Customers Who Want to Transform Their Data Centers

QCT Announces Availability of Systems Featuring AMD EPYC™ 7002 Series Processors

 

SAN JOSE, Calif.—August 9, 2019—Quanta Cloud Tech­no­lo­gy (QCT), a glo­bal data cen­ter solu­ti­on pro­vi­der, announ­ced the avai­la­bi­li­ty of its com­pre­hen­si­ve sys­tems fea­turing AMD EPYC™ 7002 Series Pro­ces­sors. With the 2nd Gen AMD EPYC™ pro­ces­sors on Quan­taGrid and Quan­taPlex ser­vers, cus­to­mers get a new level of inte­gra­ti­on and per­for­mance for their modern data centers.

 

QCT’s Total Cloud Solu­ti­ons based on 2nd Gen AMD EPYC™ Pro­ces­sors make data cen­ters more respon­si­ve to today’s workload demands and are focu­sed to address tho­se coming in the future. The­se 2nd Gen AMD EPYC™ based solu­ti­ons are set to deli­ver a new stan­dard for data cen­ters cus­to­mers. With twice the num­ber of cores com­pared to the 1st Gen AMD EPYC™ pro­ces­sors, and built on the 7nm pro­cess tech­no­lo­gy, QCT has alre­a­dy seen over 2x per­for­mance impro­ve­ment on CPU and memo­ry pro­ces­sing over its pro­ducts using the 1st Gen EPYC[i]. QCT’s pro­ducts also fea­ture ser­vicea­bi­li­ty opti­ons such as tool-less, modu­la­ri­zed, and hot swappable com­pon­ents that are straight­for­ward and prac­ti­cal­ly lea­ve no down­ti­me as tech­ni­ci­ans don’t need to remo­ve a who­le chas­sis from the rack.

 

“QCT is always loo­king to help our cus­to­mers adapt quick­ly to chan­ging workload needs,” said Mike Yang, Pre­si­dent of QCT. “The­r­e­fo­re, tog­e­ther with AMD, we are deli­ve­ring inno­va­tions com­bi­ning all the advan­ta­ges of AMD EPYC pro­ces­sors with our com­pre­hen­si­ve, con­sis­tent designs to allow our cus­to­mers to trans­form their infra­struc­tu­re with the right resour­ces to dri­ve per­for­mance and redu­ce bottlenecks.”

 

“Dri­ven by AMD’s histo­ry of data cen­ter inno­va­ti­on, inclu­ding 7nm pro­cess tech­no­lo­gy, the first x86 sup­pli­er to sup­port PCIe 4.0, and embedded secu­ri­ty fea­tures, the AMD EPYC 7002 Series Pro­ces­sors set a new stan­dard for the modern dat­a­cen­ter,” said Scott Aylor, cor­po­ra­te vice pre­si­dent and gene­ral mana­ger, Dat­a­cen­ter Solu­ti­ons Group, AMD. “Tog­e­ther, the­se inno­va­tions deli­ver the breakth­rough per­for­mance cus­to­mers need.”

 

With this launch, QCT is com­bi­ning its ulti­ma­te com­pu­te and sto­rage den­si­ty with AMD EPYC™ pro­ces­sor breakth­rough CPU per­for­mance. QCT work­ed on the designs for the­se 2nd Gen AMD EPYC™ Pro­ces­sors ahead of others and was one of the first to power on the­se pro­ces­sors. The cul­mi­na­ti­on is a series of sca­lable con­fi­gu­ra­ti­ons ful­ly opti­mi­zed for PCIe® 4.0 and diver­si­fied I/O opti­ons for not only AI workloads, but also CDN, and Big Data.

 

QCT Ser­vers fea­turing the AMD EPYC™ 7002 Series Pro­ces­sors are as follows:

 

  • Quan­taGrid D43K-1U – desi­gned to unleash the power with dual AMD EPYC™ 7002 Series Pro­ces­sors. Fea­turing up to 4TB memo­ry capa­ci­ty, 5 expan­si­on slots, and sin­gle width GPU sup­port within a 1U chassis.
  • Quan­taGrid D43KQ-2U – powered by dual AMD EPYC™ 7002 Series Pro­ces­sors sup­port­ing up to 10 PCIe® 4.0 expan­si­on slots and capa­bi­li­ties. It fea­tures two dual-width GPU acce­le­ra­tors with opti­mi­zed ther­mal con­di­ti­ons, 24 U.2 NVMe dri­ves, and tool-les­s/hot swappable ser­vicea­bi­li­ty com­pon­ents found in all QCT rack­mount servers.
  • Quan­taGrid S43KL-1U – is a sin­gle socket AMD EPYC™ 7002 Series Pro­ces­sor com­pu­te ser­ver, fea­turing up to 2TB memo­ry capa­ci­ty, up to 12 NVMe SSDs and 5 expan­si­on slots to chall­enge the tra­di­ti­on dual socket data cen­ter sys­tems. It also sup­ports sin­gle width GPU and PCIe®0.
  • Quan­taGrid D42A-2U – is a sin­gle socket AMD EPYC™ pro­ces­sor sto­rage ser­ver desi­gned for inten­se sto­rage I/O, per­fect for SDS, CDN, and a varie­ty of data­ba­se workloads. Sup­port for up to 24 U.2 NVMe SSDs and mul­ti­ple high speed NICs also make this the per­fect NVMe­oF target.
  • Quan­taPlex S43CA-2U – is a mul­ti-node sin­gle socket ser­ver that sup­ports the AMD EPYC™ 7002 Series Pro­ces­sors. Each of the 4 nodes in this com­pact 2U chas­sis is capa­ble of sup­port­ing the top bin 2nd Gen AMD EPYC Pro­ces­sors, boas­ting a domi­nant 64-cores along with 16 DIMM slots that can meet the most inten­se com­pu­ting envi­ron­ment needs.
