Tai\u00adpei, Tai\u00adwan, 17th Janu\u00adary 2019 \u2013 <\/b>GIGABYTE<\/span> is exci\u00adted to offi\u00adci\u00adal\u00adly announ\u00adce avai\u00adla\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adty of two new AMD<\/span> EPYC<\/span> com\u00adpu\u00adte nodes to our RACKLUTION-OP<\/span><\/b> pro\u00adduct line, which is based on the Open Com\u00adpu\u00adte Project\u2019s (OCP<\/span>) Open Rack Stan\u00addards<\/b>. The\u00adse two new nodes, TO22-Z61<\/span><\/a><\/b> and TO22-Z62<\/span><\/a><\/b>, fea\u00adture dual AMD<\/span> EPYC<\/span> Nap\u00adles pro\u00adces\u00adsor sockets for com\u00adpu\u00adte nodes with high core counts and impres\u00adsi\u00adve memo\u00adry capa\u00adci\u00adty, and offer fle\u00adxi\u00adble sto\u00adrage opti\u00adons (all flash or mixed SATA<\/span> \/ SAS<\/span> + flash) and the avai\u00adla\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adty of up to 3 addi\u00adtio\u00adnal PCIe expan\u00adsi\u00adon slots. Each node is desi\u00adgned to fit into a three bay, 2OU<\/span> tray.

(for a total capa\u00adci\u00adty pos\u00adsi\u00adble of 8 x 2.5\u201d NVMe drives).<\/p>\n

TO22-Z61<\/span><\/a><\/b> and TO22-Z62<\/span><\/a><\/b> both fea\u00adture two low pro\u00adfi\u00adle PCIe x16 expan\u00adsi\u00adon slots for net\u00adwor\u00adking or sto\u00adrage expan\u00adsi\u00adon opti\u00adons.

OCP<\/span> Ser\u00adver Over\u00adview &<\/span> Benefits<\/b>
\nWhat are the Open Rack Stan\u00addards<\/b>? They are a set of open source hard\u00adware design gui\u00adde\u00adlines initi\u00adal\u00adly deve\u00adlo\u00adped by Face\u00adbook and then trans\u00adfor\u00admed in 2011 into an open source pro\u00adject. Being open source means that anyo\u00adne can con\u00adtri\u00adbu\u00adte, so a lar\u00adge num\u00adber and varie\u00adty of dif\u00adfe\u00adrent orga\u00adniza\u00adti\u00adons invol\u00adved in buil\u00adding data cen\u00adters have con\u00adtri\u00adbu\u00adted their exper\u00adti\u00adse and expe\u00adri\u00adence in desig\u00adning hard\u00adware that is fas\u00adter and easier to deploy, less expen\u00adsi\u00adve, and have just the right fea\u00adtures nee\u00added for sca\u00adle and effi\u00adci\u00aden\u00adcy, with a design pri\u00adma\u00adri\u00adly geared around space and power savings.<\/p>\n

The Open Rack Stan\u00addards<\/b> design can achie\u00adve this in seve\u00adral ways. First\u00adly, the rack width is 21\u201d<\/b> com\u00adpared with a tra\u00addi\u00adtio\u00adnal 19\u201d rack, with a ser\u00adver unit height of 1OU<\/span> (1.89\u2019\u2019 com\u00adpared with the 1U<\/span> height of 1.75\u201d for a tra\u00addi\u00adtio\u00adnal rack), allo\u00adwing for more hori\u00adzon\u00adtal and ver\u00adti\u00adcal space in each tray for more com\u00adpu\u00adte, net\u00adwor\u00adking and sto\u00adrage den\u00adsi\u00adty or for bet\u00adter air\u00adflow or cabling space. Second\u00adly, the power sup\u00adp\u00adly<\/b> for each ser\u00adver rack\u00admount is remo\u00adved and con\u00adso\u00adli\u00adda\u00adted in a sepa\u00adra\u00adte, cen\u00adtral unit<\/b>. This not only frees up more space for other com\u00adpon\u00adents but also allows for bet\u00adter coo\u00adling and main\u00adten\u00adan\u00adce effi\u00adci\u00aden\u00adcy of the con\u00adso\u00adli\u00adda\u00adted power sup\u00adp\u00adly unit. Power sup\u00adp\u00adly is ins\u00adtead sup\u00adpli\u00aded to com\u00adpu\u00adte, sto\u00adrage and GPU<\/span> nodes direct\u00adly through a \u201cbus-bar\u201d sys\u00adtem run\u00adning along the rear of the rack.<\/p>\n

In addi\u00adti\u00adon, the ser\u00adver nodes are desi\u00adgned like Lego bricks<\/b>, which are small enough to be easi\u00adly hand\u00adled by a sin\u00adgle per\u00adson. This also adds to the design\u2019s ease of sca\u00adla\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adty: each node is available indi\u00advi\u00addu\u00adal\u00adly and can be orde\u00adred later in time to add capa\u00adci\u00adty to exis\u00adting infra\u00adstruc\u00adtu\u00adre. The Open Com\u00adpu\u00adte Pro\u00adject sta\u00adtes that the\u00adse design fea\u00adtures were found to be 38% more ener\u00adgy effi\u00adci\u00adent*<\/b>to build and 24% less expen\u00adsi\u00adve to run*<\/b> than tra\u00addi\u00adtio\u00adnal 19\u201d rack infra\u00adstruc\u00adtu\u00adre for the first adop\u00adters of the Open Rack Standards.
