March 09 2015 - 4:00PM
GIGABYTE and Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (NASDAQ: AMCC)
today announced the commercial availability of GIGABYTE's MP30
server platform. Powered by AppliedMicro's X-Gene Server on a Chip
solution, the MP30 platform offers customers compelling
performance-per-watt capability.
The MP30 platform enables its users to optimize server hardware
for specific workloads, thereby improving performance and value and
reducing total cost of ownership.
Built around X-Gene's ARMv8-A architecture and offering up to
128GB of highly accessible on-board memory, the GIGABYTE MP30
platform is intended for deployment as a general purpose server for
memory-intensive workloads such as in-memory databases, storage,
and content distribution networks.
Fully compliant with ARM Server Base System Architecture (SBSA)
and Server Base Root Requirements (SBBR) standards, GIGABYTE's MP30
server platform represents an optimized application solution for
cloud and scale-out computing, supported by a robust network of
over 1,000 open source software developers.
AppliedMicro's X-Gene processor, which became commercially
available in 2014, is the industry's first enterprise-hardened, ARM
64-bit Server on a Chip solution. Designed for cloud,
enterprise-server and HPC applications, X-Gene's distinguishing
features include multiple high performance processors running at up
to 2.4GHz along with robust, high-speed memory and I/O.
"Our early access to X-Gene allows GIGABYTE to offer one of the
first commercially available, enterprise-grade server platforms
based on ARMv8-A architecture," said Vincent Teng, GIGABYTE's vice
president of North America Business Development. "We are already
seeing substantial interest from customers representing the cloud,
enterprise and scientific communities."
"Optional 1U and 2U configurations make the MP30 extremely
versatile for both server and high-performance computing
workloads," Mr. Teng reaffirmed. "The MP30's platform versatility
shows off X-Gene's price-performance advantages, especially in
environments where high performance and low TCO really matter."
The MP30 platform is available through a worldwide reseller
network of system integrators and distributors. For complete
