AMD EPYC™

The New x86 Option

AMD’s return to the CPU segment delivers a whole new value proposition to the x86 world. Built on GIGABYTE’s extensive design expertise across a range of chipset platforms, this AMD EPYC™ platform is already receiving acclaim for its high specification:

• Memory
• I/O
• Network connectivity

This platform is intended as an alternative for builders in the x86 space and packs a real punch in flexibility and expansion options.

CPU Key Features

Compute
32 cores

Memory
8 channels

I/O
128 PCIe lanes

Power
Regulated per core

Security
Integrated Custom Security

• Memory Optimization
  Memory speed of up to 2666MHz (at 1DPC)
  Total memory capacity of 2TB supported
• PCIe Lanes
  Up to 128 lanes in both 1P and 2P offerings providing the highest expandability options of any x86 platform
• Cores / Power
  CPU power is managed at the core level, meaning that power is allocated only for specific workload needs
• Security
  Proprietary AMD security on chip

Comprehensive I/O

Both single- and dual-socket CPUs come equipped with 128x PCIe lanes, providing extensive I/O options. This is a huge improvement in I/O vs. incumbent x86 offerings.
Increased I/O allows for flexibility in extending your storage, networking or compute to a level previously unattainable with standard server motherboards.
In addition, the integrated nature of the processor – designed as a system-on-chip (SoC) – means that there is no need for a separate PCH and less additional switches needed for expansion lanes.

Easy, Flexible & Powerful Storage Deployment

The S451-Z30 offers the following advantages to your storage deployment:

• x86 architecture means interoperability with a large range of software defined storage software & applications
• 36 x 3.5″ SATA / SAS drive bays for large scale out capacity, up to 500TB per server
• Rear 2.5″ SATA / SAS drive bays for OS disks allow the S451-Z30 to be used as a stand-alone storage server

GIGABYTE has also validated and created reference architectures for our products with various open source software defined storage systems to help make your deployment even faster and easier.

High-Speed Networking

GIGABYTE offers 10Gb across dual ports on-board, ensuring that users can get the most out of their system and are well equipped for today’s traffic demands. The server’s network performance is boosted with full-line rate throughput and CPU overhead is reduced, leaving the EPYC to focus on the real compute tasks.
