As a globally recognized leader in high-performance server solutions, MSI presented innovative ORv3-compliant multi-node platforms designed to meet the growing demands of next-generation data centers. These powerful new models are built upon the approved DC-MHS architecture by Open Compute Project (OCP) and integrate the cutting-edge AMD EPYC™ 9005 series processors.
The Next Generation of Data Centers
The evolving landscape of data centers necessitates solutions that deliver exceptional computing density, energy efficiency, and scalability. MSI’s newly unveiled servers are meticulously designed to align with these core requirements, ensuring seamless performance in data-intensive environments. Danny Hsu, General Manager of Enterprise Platform Solutions at MSI, emphasized the company’s commitment to driving innovations within the open-source ecosystem. “We are proud to contribute to the Open Compute Project, fostering sustainable design through open standards and modular server architectures,” he noted.
Highlights of the New Server Platforms
Two significant platforms were introduced, exceeding standard specifications to cater to hyperscale applications:
1.
Open Compute CD281-S4051-X2: This ORv3-compliant 2OU 2-node server is engineered specifically for hyperscale deployments. Each node operates with an AMD EPYC 9005 series processor, capable of handling up to 500 watts TDP, and features twelve DDR5 DIMM slots along with PCIe 5.0 E3.S NVMe slots. This configuration ensures extraordinary memory bandwidth and speedy data throughput, making it an optimal choice for cloud computing tasks.
2.
Core Compute CD270-S4051-X4: A high-density 2U 4-node server, also optimized for cloud operations based on the OCP DC-MHS architecture. Here, each node hosts its dedicated AMD EPYC 9005 series processor, paired with twelve DDR5 DIMM slots and advanced PCIe 5.0 x4 U.2 NVMe bays. The modular design allows for efficient cooling using EVAC technology, managing thermal performance to ensure operational stability.
MSI’s offerings additionally support OCP NICs, enhancing connectivity for high-performance cloud implementations. The environments created by these data centers must factor in not just performance, but energy efficiency—an area where MSI continues to excel.
