SYS-221BT-DNTR: Dual Node Server with 4th Intel Xeon CPU Sapphire Rapids

Supermicro Computers Inc. introduces SYS-221BT-DNTR, the new dual node server with high density, performance and maintainability derived from Intel’s latest generation CPU architecture and hot-swappable tool-less design. SYS-221BT-DNTR offers two fourth-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors with Sapphire Rapids architecture per node, each with up to 60 cores and support for next-generation integrated accelerators and GPUs. In addition, the capability to handle a range of open industry standards, including OCP 3.0-compliant Advanced IO Modules (AIOM), EDSFF storage, OCP Open Accelerator Module (OAM) and SXM GPU interconnect, reduces dependence on proprietary technologies. This allows users to standardize components across the data center and incorporate Supermicro systems into existing infrastructure with minimal changes. With open standards-based server management, Supermicro servers can be seamlessly integrated into existing IT environments. SYS-221BT-DNTR offer CXL 1.1 support to create a unified and consistent memory space between CPUs and accelerators, DDR5-4800 MT/s memories with up to 1.5 times the performance and capacity of the DDR4 standard, PCIe 5.0 for twice the I/O bandwidth of the previous generation, and 12 NVMe U.2-type SSD bays per node designed to provide unprecedented speed, capacity and density for hot and warm-tier storage applications. Regarding networking, support for multiple 400 Gbps InfiniBand (NDR) and data processing units (DPUs) enables distributed stacking, disaggregated storage and real-time collaboration with extremely low latencies. SYS-221BT-DNTR also offers titanium-class, redundant power that is shared among nodes, offering high energy optimization while maintaining a very high standard of security.
