2021: Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC-based 1U, 2U, and 4U form factor servers
On May 17, 2021, Polywell Computers introduced in Russia its range of servers in 1U, 2U and 4U form factors on the Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC processors.
They can be divided into 3 groups:
- General Purpose Servers
- Multinodal servers
- Servers with GPU
General purpose servers are intended for use as, file,, cloudy virtual computing servers, servers. databases They are characterized by the use of modern Xeon and EPYC server processors, a significant amount of supported RAM disk stores and a 2.5 "hot-swappable form factor. The latter can have both the interface and SATA the fastest NVMe interface for. solid-state stores There are also two connectors for connecting SATA-DOM modules. There is a significant set of network interfaces - 10 GbE, SFP +, Ethernet IPMI 2.0, OCP 3.0.
Multi-site servers are a combination of 4 servers in a single 2U chassis. This is useful when you need to save space in the racks. Shared power supplies (2 2600W power supplies are installed) also save space and power for server power and cooling. This arrangement is particularly useful for compute or failover clusters or for virtualization. The most popular solutions are from Microsoft, Stratus, Citrix, VMware. All of them involve duplication of hardware resources, so such layouts of Polywell Computers servers are beneficial in such applications, the company noted. Each of the four nodes supports Intel or AMD processors, up to 4 TB of memory, 6 2.5 inch disk drives, 1 OCP 3.0 slot for network modules, one IPMI 2.0 (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) module.
Servers with GPU are designed for high-performance computing (HPC), GPU computing clusters, artificial intelligence and deep machine learning. There are models in the 2U form factor with 4 GPU Nvidia HGX A100 GPU 40GB/80GB, NVLink, NVSwitch and in the 4U form factor with 8 GPU Nvidia HGX A100 GPU 40GB/80GB, V. Also, depending on the form factor, they can support up to 8 TB (12 TB) of memory, have up to 4 (6) drives in 2.5 "form factor, 2 x 10GbE network adapters, or 1 OCP 3.0 slot for network modules. Using Polywell Computers servers with GPU provides AI acceleration up to 20 times and HPC acceleration up to 2.5 times compared to previous generations of graphics processors, the company emphasized.
As noted, all Polywell Computers server systems are assembled from industrial grade components, have high reliability. The mean time between failures (MTBF) is 100000 hours (almost 11.5 years).
