PNY 2U SERVER SOLUTION

MOST COMPACT 2U SUPER NODE

The PNYSER28 server solution is a super-computing module designed and optimized for NVIDIA Tesla computing accelerators. This 2U rack offers the ability to receive up to 8 double slot GPU cards while the rest of the market offers 2U racks that can receive up to 6 cards at best in a 2U chassis.


With such power, this system is able to offer vast gains in processing time for the most supercomputing intensive applications, from cutting-edge rendering farms to the latest simulations in leading scientific research.

 


 

The 8 GPU cards are supported by a central backbone made of a dual socket platform supporting the Intel Xeon processors E5-2600 v3/v4 product family, dual GbE or dual 10G SFP+ LAN connections, and 8 x 2.5” hot-swappable HDD bays supporting SATA 6Gbs.

Indeed, the PNYSER28 series is a highly energy efficient system thanks to the innovative rack design and internal placement. Thanks to its power saving architecture, including high performance 80mm fans and a top efficiency 80+ Platinum level power supply, this product shows excellent airflow and thermal properties and manages to keep the power consumption at the lowest levels possible. This combination of large computing capability, high energy efficiency and compact 2U footprint allows the PNYSER28 series to deliver extreme megaflops per watt performance and therefore to help the most advanced supercomputing infrastructures to significantly drive their energy consumption down while boosting the execution of their applications.

 

The unprecedented computing density of PNYSER28 satisfies the needs of organizations seeking the largest amount of computing power and a minimal footprint at the same time.
