Featuring New AMD EPYC™ 7000 Series Processors
Tyan’s new AMD servers are engineered to unleash the full performance and rich feature sets on the new AMD EPYC™ 7000 Series processor family with more cores, more memory, more I/O, and more security. AMD EPYC processors are based on the 14nm “Zen” x86 core architecture with 32 cores and 64 threads, featuring 8 memory channels and up to16 DIMMs per socket. The new powerful processor allows Tyan to offer the optimal balance of computing, memory and I/O for the customers. By adopting the latest AMD EPYC processor technology, Tyan brings high memory channel bandwidth and PCI Express high speed I/O connectivity features to enterprises and data centers. With servers built on EPYC technology, cloud environments can drive greater scale and performance, virtualized data centers can further increase consolidation ratios while delivering better performing virtual machines and Big Data, and analytics environments can collect and analyze larger data sets much faster. High performance applications in research labs can solve complex problem sets in a significantly accelerated manner. EPYC, with all the critical compute, memory, I/O, and security resources brought together in the SoC with the right ratios, delivers industry-leading performance and enables lower TCO. With the flexibility to choose from 8 to 32 cores, EPYC enables you to deploy the right hardware platforms to meet your workload needs from virtualized infrastructure to large-scale big-data and analytics platforms and legacy line-of-business applications. For exact sever specifications, please see highlights below and also refer to detailed technical specifications.
Tyan’s Transport HX GA88-B8021 offers outstanding computational power for a single-socket server, with support for 8, 16, 24, or 32-Core processors with up to 64 threads. The memory capacity of the server is also incredibly high for a single socket server, able to support up to 2TB of RAM with every processor in the AMD EPYC SKU stack.
