Equus Compute Solutions Launches Servers with New Intel® Xeon® Scalable CPUs

February 27, 2018

EDINA, MN, UNITED STATES - Feb 27, 2018 - Equus Compute Solutions announced today the availability of servers that use the new Intel® Xeon® Processor Scalable Family (aka “Purley”). These newly released Intel CPUs provide powerful infrastructure options that represent an evolutionary leap forward in agility and scalability. Disruptive by design, these CPUs set a new benchmark in platform convergence and capabilities across compute, storage, memory, network and security.

“Today our customers can configure and purchase advanced Intel Xeon Scalable CPU-based servers,” said Costa Hasapopoulos, President of Equus Compute Solutions. “We look forward to helping Resellers, Software Vendors and Service Providers understand how to leverage this new technology in their business and realize tangible benefits from these new Intel CPUs using our custom cost-effective solutions.”

Examples of new Equus Servers shown at www.equuscs.com/intel-servers include:

  • R2096Q-2U: Rackmount 2U, Dual Intel Xeon Scalable CPUs, 2TB DDR4 memory (Optane Support), 8x SAS/SATA drives, 2x 10GBase-T Ethernet, 4x PCIe 3.0 x16 (LP) slots, and 1000W redundant power supplies.
  • M2098Q-2U4N:  Rackmount 2U, 4 Node, Dual Intel Xeon Scalable CPUs per node, 2TB DDR4 memory per node, 3x 3.5 SAS/SATA drives per node, On-board Broadcom drive controllers, and 2200W redundant power supplies.
  • M2099Q-2U4N:  Rackmount 2U, 4 Node, Dual Intel Xeon Scalable CPUs per node, 2TB DDR4 memory per node, 6x 2.5 SAS/SATA drives per node, On-board Broadcom drive controllers, and 2200W redundant power supplies.
  • R2097Q-Full: Tower 25.5 x17.2 x 7.0 inches, Dual Intel Xeon Scalable CPUs, 2TB DDR4 memory, 8x 3.5 SAS/SATA drives, 2x 10GBase-T Ethernet, 4x PCIe 3.0 x16 (LP) slots and 1200W redundant power supplies.

The new Equus servers are configured using different form factors, CPU sockets, disk storage, I/O, and multi-node capabilities. With up to 28 physical cores per CPU delivering highly enhanced per core performance, significant increases in memory bandwidth (six memory channels), and I/O bandwidth (48 PCIe lanes), even the most data-hungry, latency-sensitive applications, including in-memory databases and HPC, will see impressive improvements enabled by denser compute and faster access to large data volumes.
