GIGABYTE Technology, a leading designer, manufacturer and vendor of high performance server products, has established a strong reputation built through extensive experience of working with the world's largest hyperscalers and brands. In recent years, GIGABYTE Server has leveraged this capability to bring to market its own range of innovative, reliable, and high-performing server systems and motherboards.
GIGABYTE's server solutions are strengthened by the company's core competencies and 30 years of unrivalled company-wide experience in mechanical and thermal design.
Combined, these lead to GIGABYTE:
Pushing Performance Boundaries through the broadest CPU coverage, the fullest memory utilization and highest-density designs
Total System Reliability through fastidious selection of components and materials for durability and reliability, and extensive in-house validation of operating systems to ensure out-of-the-box compatibility.
Ease of Deployment
GIGABYTE ensures seamless installation through a tool-less rail kit, and a comprehensive starter kit. We also offer the functionality to set up and control system remotely at the node or cluster level through 'GIGABYTE Server Management' (GSM) and enable monitoring of servers by node or by group.
Advanced Power Management through:
- Dynamic Phase Shedding to optimize power consumption
- 'Cold Redundancy' for power supplies
- Custom 4-Mode Fan Speed Control
At the root of our offering is GIGABYTE's willingness to listen to our customers and partners to provide the solutions they actually need. We match specific needs and have established processes for bringing these developments into our broader product line-up. In addition, GIGABYTE has a track record of driving industry developments, including the first widely available ARM 48 core-based servers and the first 8 GPU 2U GPGPU, With more in the pipeline, GIGABYTE will continue to innovate for the current and future needs of the server market.
GIGABYTE's Server division continually pushes design boundaries in the enterprise server market, and now we bring you four unique new high-density 2U, 4 node rear access products: the H230-R4C, H230-R4G, H23N-R4O and H23N-H60.
In these models, each node supports dual Intel Xeon processors E5-2600 v4 and the system level incorporates redundant power supply units with quadruple fans.
GIGABYTE has taken the design to the next level with key features including;
Centralized Server Management
As part of the core design, GIGABYTE has enabled 'Central Management Console' (CMC) functionality to allow centralized control of all nodes in each rack through one connection to the switch. This also means a reduction in wires and associated operational costs.
Daisy Chain Feature
As an extension of this, the rack switch only requires two ports which feed into a ‘daisy chain’ across nodes. This allows for more economical switches (and wires!)
Direct Board Connection
The Direct Board Connection also allows better accessibility and lower temperatures in the rack. An Interposer allows the removal of the internal cable connecting the power supply.
(NB. This feature is specific to these two SKUs.)
