Introducing GIGABYTE’s new generation of motherboards and systems built around Intel’s Skylake Purley architecture - ‘Intel Xeon Scalable’. This new product family provides a wealth of new options in scalability - across compute, network and storage - to deliver solutions for a range of applications.

GIGABYTE’s system design and engineering expertise applied to this Intel Xeon Scalable series enables it to meet the increasingly diverse requirements of the industry, from entry-level HPC to large scale clusters.

CPU Key Features

Intel’s Xeon Scalable platform brings improved features and functionality at both the host and fabric levels. These enable performance improvements - both natively on chip and for future extensibility through compute, network and storage peripherals.

• Memory Optimization
  Memory speed of up to 2666MHz
  Up to 12 DIMMs per socket
• Storage
  Built in support for VROC
  Intel Optane ready
• Networking
  Intel Omni-Path ready

Increased Memory Performance

• The CPU architecture allows for up to 6 memory channels per socket and a bandwidth of up to 2666MHz.
• The architecture is future-ready with the potential to support Apache Pass DIMM.
• Memory capacity benefits with up to available 12 DIMMs per socket, which represents a 50% generation-on-generation increase.

• Innovative storage options through Intel Optane™ low-latency, non-volatile design.
• These systems ship as standard with a Virtual Raid-On-CPU (VROC*) module to enable software raid on connected SSDs.
  (* VROC is available by default on NVMe SKU)
• Support for SATA-DOM is available to allow for standalone boot and diagnostics direct through SATA connections on the board.

Security

• Integrated QAT for improved compression and security with software. On the hardware side, extra encryption on-board is enabled by TPMs available from GIGABYTE.

Networking

• Improved networking through Omni-Path interconnect fabric as a CPU-integrated or standalone device.

GIGABYTE’s passive components are meticulously selected to guarantee a super stable operating environment and allow the processors and the memory to deliver their maximum performance.With some of the longest service lifetimes in the industry, our server motherboards are built with ultra long lasting components to attain the highest reliability levels.

GIGABYTE Server Management (GSM)

GIGABYTE’s proprietary software, ‘GIGABYTE Server Management’, is designed to provide an effortless user experience. This software can be downloaded as a ‘GSM Client’/ ‘GSM Agent’/ ‘GSM Server’ module – depending on user applications - all of which are IPMI and Redfish compliant. Through these protocols, users and administrators can manage and monitor their server groups easily and remotely through multiple concurrent sessions.
