Giga Computing 4 R-Series 1U/2U Rackmount Servers with AmpereOne Processors for Cloud Native Deployments

Giga Computing, a subsidiary of Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd., announced 4 R-series servers for the AmpereOne family of processors for cloud native computing where high compute density per rack and power-efficiency matter.

For cloud native computing, hyperscalers or CSPs rely on predictable high-performance, scalable infrastructure, and power efficient nodes. The company’s servers running on the AmpereOne family of processors achieve those expectations, but this is not the 1st time the firm has worked with Ampere Computing LLC.

The partnership 1st started in 2020 with the launch of the Altra platform. And this family of AmpereOne processors will not supersede the Altra platform, rather it is an extension of what Arm architecture is capable of by Ampere Computing. For instance, the CPU core count goes beyond 128 cores in Altra to 136-192 cores in AmpereOne for new levels of performance and VM density. On top of that, the private L2 cache per core has doubled and there is support for DDR5 memory and PCIe Gen5.

“In support of Arm architecture and Cloud Native platforms, we will continue to work with Ampere Computing to develop solutions, with the latest being the AmpereOne family of processors. And we have already started discussions to support future processor developments,” said Vincent Wang, sales VP, Giga Computing. “We have worked closely with Ampere Computing to create optimized Gigabyte solutions with consistent performance and impressive efficiency, and it shows in the versatility of these new offerings.”

“With the addition of AmpereOne to Gigabyte R-series servers, we can deliver even more compute density per rack to bring the highest performance at the lowest power,” said Jeff Wittich, CPO, Ampere. “Building on Gigabyte’s Ampere Altra offerings, customers now have a wide range of Ampere-based options to meet all of their Cloud Native compute needs.”

Pairing the AmpereOne platform with the firm’s servers is a natural fit, and the company has single and dual socket options in both the 1U and 2U form factor.

The expansiveness of the larger 2U servers (R283-P93 and R263-P33) allows support for multiple dual-slot GPUs, while having additional expansion slots for networking, AI inference cards, and other off-chip devices.
