Today we have the launch of the 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable refresh SKUs. Make no mistake, this is Intel’s competitive side coming out. The original 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Launch happened in April 2019, about four months before the subsequent AMD EPYC 7002 series Rome Launch.

The Supermicro 2049P-TN8R (or technically the SYS-2049P-TN8R) is a 4-socket server that is designed differently from many of the other models we have tested like the Supermicro SYS-2049U-TR4. This server is designed for scale-out applications. It may seem like a slight nuance, but the system is designed differently for that purpose.

Today AMD rolled out two new second generation EPYC processors to add more performance options so customers can meet the right performance to workload. AMD is adding yet another 64 core CPU in the 7662 as well as a new 32 core model as well with the 7532.

Today, we’re now adding our fifth 64 core processor to the 2nd Gen EPYC stack with the AMD EPYC 7662. This processor is a great entry point into the 64-core market, providing customers access to the same high-performance ‘Zen 2’ cores as one of the world’s fastest x86 server processors with the AMD EPYC 7H1], but at a lower cost point compared to other mainstream AMD EPYC 64 core processors.

The Intel Rack Scale Design infrastructure separates the physical compute, storage and network resources within a rack into logical resources that administrators can access through management APIs, which provide interfaces for discovering, composing and monitoring resources.

ZELENDATA CENTRE provides colocation, infrastructure as a service, and software as a service, and its Supermicro® servers are being cooled by GRC’s ICEraQ™ liquid immersion cooling systems.

Edge computing, which is the concept of processing and analyzing data in servers closer to the applications they serve, is growing in popularity and opening new markets for established telecom providers, semiconductor startups, and new software ecosystems.
