Designed for HPC (high performance computing) and scientific applications, the PNYSRA4X-000 series is an all-in-one solution for GPGPU computing and dense storage; the system supports up to 10 x NVIDIA Tesla GPUs in a dual-root complex with 2 x Intel Scalable Skylake / Cascade Lake CPUs (up to TDP 205W). With a large capacity for both system memory (24 DIMM slots) and local storage (12 x 2.5"/3.5" hot-swap SATA3/SAS3 drive bays + 8 x 2.5" hot-swap SATA3/SAS3/U.2 NVMe drive bays + 2 x 2.5" hot-swap SATA3/SAS3 drive bays) and two AOC expansion slots (1 x PCIe Gen3 x16 (x8 bus) Half-length low-profile slot for storage/RAID contrller + 1 x PCIe Gen3 x1 slot for add-on card), the PNYSRA4X-000 series is most ideal to users who seek maximum GPU computing performance, flexible PCIe configuration, high speed local storage and reliable system quality.
The PNYSRA4X-000 series is built around Intel Scalable Skylake & Cascade Lake CPU architectures - ‘Intel® Xeon® Scalable’ Family processors. The new product families provide a wealth of new options in scalability - across compute, network and storage - to deliver solutions for a range of applications.
The Intel® Xeon® Scalable Skylake & Cascade Lake CPU architectures bring improved features and functionality at both the host and fabric levels. These enable performance improvements - both natively on the chip and for future extensibility through compute, network and I/O & storage peripherals.
The PNYSRA4X-000 series is a highly energy efficient system thanks to the innovative rack design and internal placement. Given its power saving architecture, including 16 high-performance system fans and 3 x 80+ Platinum 2200W power supply units, the PNYSRA4X-000 series guarantees an excellent airflow and thermal properties by keeping power consumption at the lowest level possible. Equipped with both the most dense GPU computing power in 4U space, ultra large local storage capacity and flexible PCIe expansion card options, the PNYSRA4X-000 series delivers a great Megaflops / Teraflops per watt performance therefore to help the most advanced supercomputing infrastructures to significantly reduce energy bills while boosting the execution of their applications.
The thermal design of the PNYSRA4X-000 series allows for the highest-TDP rated Intel® Xeon® Scalable CPU SKUs to help achieve top performance.
The passive components in the PNYSRA4X-000 series are meticulously selected, which allows the processors and the memory modules to deliver their maximum performance in a super stable operating environment. The PNYSRA4X-000 series is built with ultra long lasting components to attain the highest reliability levels.
The PNYSRA4X-000 Series is most ideal to users who seek maximum GPU computing performance, flexible PCIe configuration, high speed local storage and reliable system quality for HPC and scientic applications.
Tool-less Rail Kit
Easy Swapping
The server management software of the PNYSRA4X-000 Series is a proprietary, license-free, multiple-server remote management software platform, available as a free download (provided upon system shipment). The platform is compatible with either IPMI or Redfish (RESTful API) connection interfaces, and comprises the following sub-programs:
Starting from the GSM Server dashboard, the user can clearly understand the status of each node in the IT environment, including:
The user can also perform various management functions, including:
A GSM Plugin is available for VMware’s vCenter, allowing the user to perform remote monitoring and management of PNY server systems without having to switch to a separate software platform.
