Motherboard – 3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable – E-ATX DP

Where Compute Reigns

3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors – “Ice Lake”

GIGABYTE servers and Intel Xeon Scalable Processors deliver incredible 1P/2P performance from edge to data center with incredible gains in I/O throughput and workload demands that need high performing CPUs with large, yet optimized, memory configurations.

  • Enhanced I/O: Support for PCIe 4.0 allows for double the throughput of PCIe 3.0 for fast and large data transfers. Also, 64 lanes per socket with up to 128 lanes in a 2P configuration for fast data transmission from CPU to GPU, accelerator or storage.
  • CPU Performance Boost: Now up to 40 cores per socket with greatly improved IPC on Intel’s 10nm architecture while operating CPUs at 105-270W. Also, an additional UPI lane is added for up to 11.2GT/s for a low latency interconnect between CPUs.
  • Next Gen Memory: Each processor provides eight memory channels to support 8 or 16 DIMM slots with up to DDR4-3200. There are two sub-clustering modes, Sub NUMA (SNC) and Hemisphere (HEMI), available using balanced memory that results in performance improvements. Additionally, support for Intel Optane PMem 200 series provides two modes for greater memory capacity and data persistence to process large amounts of data faster.
  • Next Level Security: New instructions and architecture deliver a high level of cryptographic operations for data privacy and protection. Cryptographic accelerators speed up encryption protocols as well as improvements in software guard extensions and memory encryption are added.
  • AI Acceleration: AI inference and training are enhanced with DL Boost Technology for greater business, operational, and security insights. Applications include HPC, AI, and Media & Graphics.

Why GIGABYTE MD72-HB3

Accelerator Computing

3 dual-slot GPU supported in compact MB

Parallel processing with multiple GPUs are driving discoveries and powering AI and data analytics. Offering support for dual slot GPUs allows for the highest, dense GPU compute possible. Delivering the fastest throughput for data, PCIe Gen 4 lanes are all in x16 mode for a total bandwidth of 64GB/s per GPU.

Flexibility

Special one socket usage for early stage testing

For those that need to be able to adjust to new needs, GIGABYTE servers have incorporated a high level of flexibility. Scalable CPU usage allowing populating only one socket while maintaining function of 2 dual slot GPUs and all storage.

High-performance

All slots support full-length cards

GIGABYTE servers have been designed to support the cutting edge, high-end CPUs and 6 expansion slots in EATX MB while utilizing the latest in PCIe 4.0 for fast throughput. And the platforms are supported by 3 UPI links and 8 channel for up to 16 DIMMs to offer optimal configurations.

Hardware Security

Optional TPM 2.0 Module

For hardware-based authentication, the passwords, encryption keys, and digital certificates are stored in a TPM module to prevent unwanted users from gaining access to your data. GIGABYTE TPM modules come in either a Serial Peripheral Interface or Low Pin Count bus.

User Friendly

Certified Ready with Software Partners

Being a member of key software alliance partner programs enables GIGABYTE to rapidly develop and validate joint solutions, enabling our customers to modernize their data centers and implement IT infrastructure and application services with speed, agility, and cost optimization.

Value-added Management

GIGABYTE offers free-of-charge management applications via a specialized small processor built on the server.

GIGABYTE Management Console

For management and maintenance of a server or a small cluster, users can use the GIGABYTE Management Console, which is pre-installed on each server. Once the servers are running, IT staff can perform real-time health monitoring and management on each server through the browser-based graphical user interface. In addition, the GIGABYTE Management Console also provides:

  • Support for standard IPMI specifications that allows users to integrate services into a single platform through an open interface
  • Automatic event recording, which can record system behavior 30 seconds before an event occurs, making it easier to determine subsequent actions
  • Integrate SAS/SATA/NVMe devices and RAID controller firmware into GIGABYTE Management Console to monitor and control Broadcom® MegaRAID adapters.

GIGABYTE Server Management (GSM)

GSM is a software suite that can manage clusters of servers simultaneously over the internet. GSM can be run on all GIGABYTE servers and has support for Windows and Linux. GSM can be downloaded from GIGABYTE website and complies with IPMI and Redfish standards. GSM includes a complete range of system management functions that includes the following utilities:

  • GSM Server: A software program that provides real-time, remote control using a graphical user interface through an administrator’s computer or through a server in the cluster. The software allows ease of maintenance for large clusters of servers.
  • GSM CLI: A command-line interface for monitoring and managing remotely.
  • GSM Agent: A software program installed on each GIGABYTE server node that retrieves information from each system and devices through the OS, and this software integrates with GSM Server or GSM CLI.
  • GSM Mobile: A mobile app for both Android and iOS that provides admins with real-time system information.
  • GSM Plugin: An application program interface that allows users to use VMware vCenter for real-time monitoring and management of server clusters.
