Product Description
-
Horsea, the alternative high-performance 2U server system based on dual-socket 7nm AMD EPYC™ 7003 series processors (Milan), is perfect for various applications including virtualization, hyperconverged storage, cloud computing and high-end enterprise server; Horsea also features impressive TCO reduction benefited from the industry-leading core density and jump in performance. In addition to the highly serviceable 2U enclosure, Horsea provides scalability and flexibility including single CPU operation support, up to 6 standard PCIe Gen4 slots (with the option of 2 full height double width add-in cards), an OCP 3.0 slot, the capability of high bandwidth network communications and front-serviceable hybrid flash array module that not only supports all NVMe but also offers tremendous storage capacity by the optional advanced next generation SSDs.
Doubled Core Density, Leading Performance
The latest AMD EPYC™ 7003 series processors are capable of 64 cores, 128 threads, 16 DDR4 memory slots and 1DPC supporting 3200MHz memory, delivering performance significantly increased up to 1.25 times per core and 1.7 times per socket compared with the previous generation, doubled throughput, improved execution pipelines, doubled floating point and bandwidth of load and store unit and half-reduced energy consumption per operation. As a dual socket AMD EPYC 7003™ platform allowing single socket operation, TDP up to 280W, NUMA balance in Random Access Memory, Horsea offers VM density with the greatest amount and can significantly reduce TCO for workload requiring virtualization capacity for cloud and telecommunication service deployments.
Hardware-based Security Enhancement
The embedded x86 silicon-level data enables Horsea to offer AMD Infinity Guard features including Secure Root-of-Trust which monitors whether the initial BIOS software is booted without corruption and Secure Memory Encryption, which can minimize potential attack surfaces and enable better protection of software and data.
Scalability Unleashed by Latest Technologies
The PCIe switch-free design enables Horsea to provide scalability in PCIe Gen4 interface, with up to 6 standard PCIe devices, 1 hotswappable OCP 3.0 SFF card supporting up to 100GbE networking, as well as 9 Slimline x8 slots for storage options, realizing the highspeed connectivity of next-generation workload with unleashed doubled bandwidth. Horsea offers a variety of hot-pluggable hybrid flash array choices by modular front cage design, ranging from regular SATA/SAS bays to a maximum of 24 U.2 NVMe drives. Together with OS drive supports from two internal M.2 or rear 2x NVMe SSDs / 2x SATA SSDs, Horsea can perfectly address the needs of various scenarios of hyperconverged storage, including content acceleration.
Modular Design with Enhanced Reliability and Serviceability
To increase serviceability and reliability, Horsea provides highly modular design, supporting tool-less operations of serviceable parts, as well as N+1 redundancy for both power and cooling fans. Horsea is designed for modern software-defined infrastructure, offering a visionary yet robust solution for the coming next-generation workload.
