Extremely interesting server motherboard of Micro ATX format with built-in SAS controller. It can connect 30 SATA devices plus 1 NVME plus PCI Express via the Slimline port and output data via the integrated Intel X550-T2 10 Gigabit LAN controller. Today we are reviewing the ASRockRack motherboard, which is designed for those who assemble a Big Data server or storage system for hundreds of Terabytes. The EPC621D6U-2T16R model resembles the previously considered That is, using only one ...

A very interesting server with a price of $ 1M, created for SAP HANA and applications with high RAM consumption. Here, the processors are located one above the other, there are 3 TB of memory, 4 power supplies, monitoring with predictive analysis of breakdowns and 48 storage slots. Today we are testing a very special server from the family of vertically scalable x86 systems. The Lenovo SR860V2 quad-processor is designed to handle mission-critical workloads such as transactional and resident ...

Why when choosing a processor, do not pay attention to the price per core or the price per Watt, but rather use the cost of a Megahertz with HT disabled and using Turbo Boost? Here's how it used to be good: for servers, there was a single Pentium Pro processor, which you didn't need to choose. With the advent of multi-core processors, it became clear that the more computing blocks, the better, but only until marketers stepped in and pided one CPU into ten sockets with ten cache options and ...

The uniqueness of the Socket 1151 processor socket for Coffee Lake-S processors allows, in all seriousness, to assemble on the same platform both 2-core terminals on Pentium Gold and 8-core universal machines on Xeon-ah , on which you can work with graphics and do software development. We recently listed 5 differences between workstations and regular PCs , and in relation to the Socket 1151 platform all these differences are not relevant, so you can not read the article here, but rather ...

Practically, when you need a solution for a host running a security gateway, a 1C server and a Kubernetes node, you can even give up ECC memory in favor of Core i5, Core i3 and even Pentium Gold. In general, where a high frequency is needed in single-threaded loads, it is often not enough unless a normal motherboard We love powerful 48-core processors, but not every customer is willing to pay for such capacity: even among modern companies with hybrid infrastructure (local + remote cloud), ...

Among the company's products, there are also server-type motherboards, which are also intended mainly for highly specialized areas of use, when products from other manufacturers do not pass according to their parameters. In this article we will tell you, using the example of several Advantech motherboards, how they differ from models from other manufacturers. Advantech is widely known for its industrial solutions, such as thin clients, automation devices, industrial computers and servers ...

Want to connect more than three GPUs with PCI-Express 16x interface? Opt for a dual-processor motherboard and go for even the simplest 6-core Xeon Bronze 3104, you have 96 PCI-E lanes. In this review, we are looking at just a budget board for Multi-GPU servers and workstations. Intel is actively promoting its LGA-3647 platform not only for the server market, but also for top-end computers designed for enthusiasts, as well as for workstations optimized for complex parallel computing. ...

The Xeon D SoCs have made it possible to create very compact yet powerful motherboards for storage and networking applications. The newest motherboard from ASRock Rack based on Xeon D-2143IT has 4 Oculink ports, two M2 slots, a new more convenient BMC interface, and generally amazes with its capabilities. Intel classifies the Xeon D-series processors for use in network gateways and entry-level NAS devices in the Enterprise segment. At its core, the Xeon D is a SoC with 4 to 16 cores, an ...

Intel has updated the Broadwell-DE series of embedded processors for Edge applications. First of all, the frequency of each of the cores has increased, support for 4 10GBe network controllers has appeared and the performance of QAT technology has increased. We first got acquainted with the Broadwell-DE series processors in 2015. Now, four years after the initial release of this series of SoCs, Intel is releasing the 1600 Xeon D processor line, and in this article, we will discuss what's new ...

For keeping the 'cold' data, where, first of all, the volume in terabytes per one unit of the server rack is important, there are compact 1U enclosures that can accommodate 12 3.5-inch hard drives. Integrators and assemblers can use ready-made server kits for these needs, or assemble storage systems on their own in special cases, such as the Chenbro RM14500. It is for such purposes that ASRock Rack, the server division of the familiar ASRock company, releases the EPC612D4U-2T8R motherboard for ...
