Thank you so much for this review, darn amazing! Reminds me of the power systems from IBM. Edit: One usecase might be a high density deployment of citrix or horizon nodes in smaller DCs at regional centers. Cuts down on latency across large WANs.

[@Squinoogle]

I feel like this could be the ideal starting point for offering modular... modules... so you can choose to have the 2U chassis and mix-n-match between server modules like these and storage modules or expansion modules. An internal bridge seems pretty straightforward - keep your server(s) on the left and storage on the right, make use of some of those wasted PCIe lanes...

[@wizard-uk1xh]

Fujitsu has had a CX model running dual socket Intel Xeon CPU's in each of the nodes, and 4 nodes per 2U box, Although the Fujitsu model is fairly deeper than most servers and can sometimes have space issues if the rack system isn't deep enough. However it is still running up to 8, 26 core CPUs in the 2U chassis.

[@marekbarycz4397]

Ryzen was epic CPU for everyday user but Epyc is revolution is servers. High core density due to chiplet design for low cost. Boys and girls AMD is winning not by being better at high performance, they are better because this design is extremely smart and well thought. This show how companies can cut costs at insane rates. In same server room you can put more than before.

08:00 The P variants all have exactly the same specs as their non-P counterparts. Literally the only difference is the lack of dual-socket support.

[@bernds6587]

that's... what he basically said?

[@Level1Techs]

what I was trying to say was that you won't find a P variant clocked like the F series. Because the point of the P series is to be cheaper for 1s systems, not be the fastest. Hence the "odd" recommendation that sometimes F cpus in 1s servers still makes sense even given P series cheaper alternatives.

[@TrueThanny]

@@Level1Techs Fair enough.

[@Gowan08]

Looking at VXRAIL and other style solutions, this is truly the future. the only think that concerns me is the density of storage. this is great for general purpose VMs, any monster VM with tons of storage don't fit this mold...However a file system with NFS backing larger VMs seems like an appropriate method of resolving that issue. So interesting to see the density changes. I am hoping this continues to compete with cloud and help remove marketecture meetings.

[@GameCyborgCh]

I would really like to see more proxmox content. And since it already supports it out the box, Ceph

[@paulgray1318]

What would I use it for, hmmmm - heat a medium sized office in the winter. Thing that struck me was the layout, if you have memory that runs hot, that without any thermal zoning might effect the CPU and equally vice versa. Be interested in seeing some heavy memory/CPU workloads and thermals - can you pull the temps of the individual memory slots? As wonder how hot those sticks next to the CPU will run. But dam, that's some fun lego you have there.

I cant wait for this 2 socket 4 node to hit the $200 mark like that Dell CloudEdge C6100 i ALMOST bought like 3 years ago Was made in 2010, at the time had the best processors you could get with the new 6 core Xeon X5675, each node could hold i beleive up to 192GB of RAM Edit, i do like how the Tyan nodes have the drive controllers and cage assemblies as part of the node instead of a backplane, but i wish it was a little bit more dense. I'd love to see a new standard for NVMe hot swap that uses enclosures for a 110mm nvme and then just uses a USB-C connector I know this speciffic adapter wouldnt be suited well but its external design would be great, the SSK "SHE-C325" has edges that can be used to guide it into a rail quite well. There are several internal changes i would make to the design, speciffically making it tooless, a thermal pad behind the NVMe, and a door that closes onto the top of the NVMe with thermal pad instead of sliding it inside of a tube(scraping off the thermal pad most of the time)

Especially if deployed thru these more powerful NUC style micro PCs to literally everything with an hdmi port. Very exciting indeed!!

Check out Jeff from Craft Computing. I think the knife he's using to open hard drives would be inspirational for Wendel

[@mathyoooo2]

Quad damage indeed

[@Luscious3174]

F@H CPU slots would be a good try for this, since those scale well on multiple of 2,3 and 5. You could try 30, 60 and even 90 threads if you have a 64 core processor lying around and see what kind of PPD they bring to the table. Personally though I'd stick with a 1U server and shove four A100 cards in there for the highest density. Expensive AF? Sure. But after 12-24 months of mining the costs could be recouped. Most servers last 5 years easy and even go beyond when the warranty expires. The great thing about passively cooled CPU's and GPU's is the fan replacements are easy, and if you've got good air conditioning in the room, will last beyond that 50,000 hour MTBF All that said, I am curious what your power bills are LOL Do you have solar?

[@Quarky_]

What is the advantage of 4 single socket, as opposed to say 2 dual socket boards? I would imagine the latter would be cheaper overall, fewer duplicated components (e.g. power rails), also more room for expansion slots, without sacrificing on density.

[@mdd1963]

Some clusters require at least 3 nodes....

[@guydurand6270]

What about the Supermicro Twin series? They've been around for a very long while. The AMD G34 socket Twin servers from Supermicro are similar if I'm not mistaken. Could you do a comparison if there are CPU equivalents from both companies?

[@stephenreaves3205]

You guys should take a look at Openshift

[@TheEVEInspiration]

I wonder how redundant 2 x 2000W power supplies would be enough when one fails. The 4 systems alone without expansion will consume close to 2000W, is sit not? Does it just enter a power limited mode for the CPUs? Will some expansion slots just stop working? Or is there sufficient overhead in one power supply to have it carry the load of 3000W combined (assuming expansion across both servers is close to 1000W combined)? It still looks great to me as many uses will not need heavy power consumption in the slots, just extra IO of some kind.

[@Level1Techs]

the fully loaded load is closer to 1250-1300w +/- so one psu has plenty of margin. But modern chassis are smart enough to be aware of the overall power budget, too.
