Accelerating Artificial Intelligence and Leading Efficiency
Engineering richer features in a revolutionary platform, Intel has made an incredible jump in processor performance in the business transformation journey. AI and deep learning performance will benefit from the built-in AI acceleration engines, while networking, storage, and analytics leverage other specialized accelerators in the 4th & 5th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors. Adding a host of new features to target a wide range of workloads, the new families of Intel Xeon processors will deliver even better CPU performance and performance per watt, and do so on a PCIe 5.0 platform with 2x the prior gen throughput to greatly speed up data movement to and from GPUs and storage. Intel also created the Intel Xeon CPU Max Series with High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) for improvements in memory bound HPC and AI workloads. For this new platform, GIGABYTE has products ready to get the most out of Intel Xeon CPU-based systems that support fast PCIe Gen5 accelerators and Gen5 NVMe drives.

The best in computational performance relies on a system well designed by our engineers to adequately dissipate heat to achieve peak performance.
Our engineers have baked in features to achieve higher efficiency from power supplies and server fans. Along with Titanium and Platinum offerings.
GIGABYTE releases multiple product models and configurations to target exactly what users want without paying for extra features that go unused.
GIGABYTE servers come with GIGABYTE Management Console for server management. Using a web based browser remotely is key to easing management.
Systems are rigorously designed and tested to ensure downtime will not occur. Customers have come to expect stable performance.
- Takes full advantage of NVMe performance -19 million random IOPS and 200 GiB/s throughput which is currently the industry leading performance benchmark
- Unlike traditional Software RAID it does not consume a large amount of CPU resources
- Overcomes the limitations of Hardware RAID cards, such as computing performance, PCIe bandwidth, number of SSD support and the effort of battery maintenance etc
- Plug and play, and can be used even for systems without PCIe switches that used SSDs directly connected to the CPU via PCIe without needing to change the hardware design
- SCI (Software Composable Infrastructure) compatible and can be used for external SSDs connected via NVMeOF
- Highly scalable, and new software functions such as compression and encryption can easily be added
GIGABYTE servers are enabled with Automatic Fan Speed Control to achieve the best cooling and power efficiency. Individual fan speeds will be automatically adjusted according to temperature sensors strategically placed in the servers.
To take advantage of the fact that a PSU will run at greater power efficiency with a higher load, GIGABYTE has introduced a power management feature called Cold Redundancy for servers with N+1 power supplies. When the total system load falls lower than 40%, the system will automatically place one PSU into standby mode, resulting in a 10% improvement in efficiency.
To prevent server downtime and data loss as a result of loss of AC power, GIGABYTE implements SmaRT in all our server platforms. When such an event occurs, the system will throttle while maintaining availability and reducing power load. Capacitors within the power supply can supply power for 10-20ms, which is enough time to transition to a backup power source for continued operation.
SCMP is a GIGABYTE patented feature which is deployed in servers with non-fully redundant PSU design. With SCMP, in the event of faulty PSU or overheated system, the system will force the CPU into an ultra-low power mode that reduces the power load, which prevents the system from unexpected shutdown and avoids component damage or data loss.
If the ROM that stores the BMC and BIOS fails to boot, the system will reboot with the backup BMC and/or BIOS replacing the primary. Once the primary BMC is updated, the ROM of the backup BMC will automatically update the backup through synchronization. For the BIOS, it can be updated based on user's choice of firmware version.
For hardware-based authentication, the passwords, encryption keys, and digital certificates are stored in a TPM module to prevent unwanted users from gaining access to your data. GIGABYTE TPM modules come in either a Serial Peripheral Interface or Low Pin Count bus.
Clipping mechanism secures the drive in place. Install or replace a new drive in seconds.
GIGABYTE offers servers that feature an onboard OCP NIC 3.0 slot for the next generation of add on cards. Advantages of this new type include:
- Easy Serviceability: Simply slot in or pull out the card, without opening the server or using tools
- Improved thermal design: Horizontal position and optimal heat sink design allow for air cooling to eliminate the heat efficiently
Being a member of key software alliance partner programs enables GIGABYTE to rapidly develop and validate joint solutions, enabling our customers to modernize their data centers and implement IT infrastructure and application services with speed, agility, and cost optimization.
For management and maintenance of a server or a small cluster, users can use the GIGABYTE Management Console, which is pre-installed on each server. Once the servers are running, IT staff can perform real-time health monitoring and management on each server through the browser-based graphical user interface. In addition, the GIGABYTE Management Console also provides:
- Support for standard IPMI specifications that allows users to integrate services into a single platform through an open interface
- Automatic event recording, which can record system behavior 30 seconds before an event occurs, making it easier to determine subsequent actions
- Integrate SAS/SATA/NVMe devices and RAID controller firmware into GIGABYTE Management Console to monitor and control Broadcom MegaRAID adapters.
GIGABYTE Server Management (GSM)
GSM is a software suite that can manage clusters of servers simultaneously over the internet. GSM includes a complete range of system management functions that includes the following utilities:
- GSM Server: A software program that provides real-time, remote control using a graphical user interface through an administrator's computer or through a server in the cluster. The software allows ease of maintenance for large clusters of servers.
- GSM CLI: A command-line interface for monitoring and managing remotely.
- GSM Agent: A software program installed on each GIGABYTE server node that retrieves information from each system and devices through the OS, and this software integrates with GSM Server or GSM CLI.
- GSM Mobile: A mobile app for both Android and iOS that provides admins with real-time system information.
- GSM Plugin: An application program interface that allows users to use VMware vCenter for real-time monitoring and management of server clusters.
Todays enterprise IT computing infrastructure requires performance, reliability, and scalability to deliver cutting-edge products and services while improving operational efficiency. GIGABYTE servers not only support NVIDIA accelerators, but also are certified by NVIDIA-Certified Systems to perform modern accelerated workloads in data centers and edge systems where security matters, giving users confidence when deploying solutions with GIGABYTE servers and NVIDIA products.
