Chenbro Micom RB238G13-U04 20-Bay 2.5-Inch SAS/SATA 2U Rackmount Hybrid Storage System to NVMe Server Line-Up

Chenbro Micom Co., Ltd is adding the RB238G13-U04 hybrid storage system to their NVMe Server line-up.

This 2U server model under the company’s barebone servers category is an addition to the previously released RB238G13-U08.

It features a dual-socket Xeon scalable processor server board and is configured as a 24-bay hot swappable hybrid flash array solution, except that it has 4 NVMe drives instead of the 8 NVMe drives of its sibling. Just like the RB238G13-U08, the RB238G13-U04 also complies with Apache Pass, Intel VROC, and Redfish.

Hybrid storage arrays reduce latency and keep cost manageable
The RB238G13 series was designed for clients who want to improve I/O storage latency but do not need the full speed advantages of the more costly AFAs. Leveraging the capacity of the 20xSAS/SATA drives, the RB238G13 series is suitable for databases, file servers, and container hosts.

Hybrid flash arrays provide an overall balance between cost, capacity, and performance, allowing enterprises to deal with larger, more complex business-critical workloads.

Dual Xeon Scalable Server Board with PCI-E Expansion options
Pre-installed with a dual-socket Xeon Scalable processor server board, the RB238G13-U04 supports 16xDDR4 memory. 4 HH/HL card (1x*8 and 3x*16) upgrade options are available for internal AIB expansion. The barebones design includes optimized cable routing, plus 16,000rpm cooling fans that can be hot-swapped. Network connectivity is provided through 2x10GbE LAN.

The RB238G13 series is a solution for customers looking for an alternative to AFAs like the 1U NVMe server focusing on pure I/O performance.

Logo branding and customization services for rackmount server chassis
As with other company’s chassis, the RB238G13-U04 barebone is available for branding customization. The server case can be modified to meet a customer’s needs, including personalized silkscreens, logo plates, and tailor-made bezels to create a ‘Data Center Rackmount’ in the customer’s brand image. The firm’s server customization services can support requests from system integrators and MSP’s fo their clients requiring select quantities.

Quality server manufacturing for fast and safe server assembly by MSP
Building on its 37 years of Taiwan manufacturing, the company assures a quality product manufactured with a sturdy frame and no sharp edges to ensure the well-being of assembly teams in system integrators, rack and stack service providers. The RB238G13-U04 barebone server employs a tool-less design for upgrades and maintenance, including storage, HDD trays, system fans, and PCIe riser brackets.

The RB238 hybrid storage servers are available through the company’s offices and partners. The firm is dedicated to supporting global system integrators through its network of distribution partners in North America, Europe, and Asia, or it can directly support larger orders.
