HEXADATA’s servers are fully ready to support the second generation of Intel® Xeon® Scalable Family processors, codenamed “Cascade Lake”, which bring the following major enhancements:
Built-in support for this revolutionary new product based on Intel’s 3D Xpoint technology.
Higher CPU frequencies, improved turbo profiles vs. prior-gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors.
Increased DDR4 Memory Speed & Capacity: Up to 2933MHz (1 DIMM per channel on some SKUs), 16Gb based DIMM supported.
Significantly accelerates inference performance for deep learning workloads optimized to use VNNI (Vector Neural Network Instructions)
Hardware mitigations for Meltdown / Specter security vulnerabilities.
HEXADATA’s Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processor family servers are available in dual socket configurations, and are compatible with the full family* of different SKUs (Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum) that are workload optimized to support different applications, from enterprise IT database, cloud and storage to the most high-demand HPC workloads.
HEXADATA’s second generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable family servers come ready to support Intel® Optane™ Persistent Memory, a revolutionary new product that re-defines traditional memory & storage architectures by enabling a large persistent memory tier between DRAM and SSDs, that’s higher capacity than DRAM and faster than SSDs, enabling the user to bring more data closer to the CPU for faster time for insight.
Optane Persistent Memory Modules (“PMem”) integrate seamlessly into existing DDR4 DIMM slots, and use Intel’s 3D Xpoint memory technology, which unlike DRAM retains data after power is removed. The modules will be available in capacities up to 512GB – a massive increase compared to the current maximum 128GB of industry-leading DDR4 memory sticks – and can be addressed by the OS or application either as memory (Memory Mode) or storage (Application Direct Mode).
HEXADATA systems are thermally designed to provide optimal support for the maximum range of CPU SKUs. On certain models, high density fan designs enable efficient performance at up to 165W TDP.
HEXADATA’s passive components are carefully selected to guarantee a stable operating environment and allow the processors and the memory to deliver their maximum performance. HEXADATA’s server motherboards are built with long lasting components for a high degree of reliability and durability.
HEXADATA SERVER Xeon Scalable servers are designed to guarantee high conversion efficiency regardless of load. Redundant 80 Plus ‘Titanium’ or ‘Platinum’ PSUs, combined with HEXADATA’s precision engineering, translates to super efficient power usage which maximizes the system’s power : performance ratio and reduces OPEX for the user.
