Wendel, between you and Patrick, you both has the high end servers covered!. Great work to keep us mortals informed of such hardware capabilities. Oh, did you know back in the day ('95), I had a MicroVax 3800 in my Telecom lab at work?. That had like a 16.7Mhz Cpu!!.
If you're ditching VGA, why not just go USB-C so you can have single cable KVM, heck, KVM+backup power and network for the IPMI Also, would like to trade the single 2280, for a pair of 2230
Really cool hardware. You can stick a low power tesla in each node (P4/T4/etc) and still be able to do VDI without the external hardware and at around 70W.
I really like these 4 node systems, much denser than a bunch of 1u boxes and much much more power efficient than the ye olde blade centers. Perfect balance
Unfortunately Terraform isn't open source anymore, so the alternative is OpenTf, it hadn't its first release yet, but they're quite promising, they have more full-time engineers working on it than terraform has ever had
2 Power supplies in 2U isn't a king of density. That would be 24 power supplies in a full rack, well beyond power and cooling capacity for a rack. Please look at what Oxide is doing. They are taking this to the extreme with a DC bus bar across the entire rack.
I'm soon getting an old AS-2123BT-HTR at work with Epyc 7451 CPUs. It's gonna be my test system/dev environment where I can deploy all of my stuff to for testing if concepts I intend to implement will even work. Right now my test environment is a single dual-socket hypervisor with a single P100... Not the greatest for when you need to test some clustering configurations, etc. I never heard of Tinkerbell, but I heard of Foreman. Given that Foreman now belongs to IBM, maybe Tinkerbell does what Foreman should do for me
I'm going to buy a single socket Tyan Genoa system, I can't help myself, I tell my wife it's Wendell's fault. Its overkill, but it should get me through the next decade, fed up with consumer stuff.
I sent you a contact message the day of your posting. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit railroad historical society in need of a update storage solution for our digitalizing project of a few hundred thousand slides, negatives, maps and timetables.

I love your excitement.

What a nice gift from Gigabyte!

Thanks for this!

Remind me to the good old blade server days

Love server reviews!!

Sounds like mid life crisis, I completely support you!
@@AI-xi4jkIs that what it is ? Probably you are right 😄.
I'm still waiting for my 16 core Threadripper version that doesn't cost a right arm and a leg for the board and CPU.
The good thing about kidneys, is that we have two of them......
still, parallel programming is hard :) hope one day we will be able to actually use these 1024 threads.
There are plenty of frameworks out there making strides in that direction. Goroutines, Seastar, so on...
These Gigabyte nodes remind me of the Power Mac G5 design, but nobody is willing to bring that design to workstation market
Let's see a Cinebench run!
New Muzak!
How is Gigabyte’s BIOS/firmware support quality for enterprise parts compared to catastrophes like ASRock Rack?
I think I need this for my nas
Proxmox in a box - ITCreations have the basic config for $10K (CPU & Ram)
Any interest on trying Nutanix on AHV?
So does this mean blade servers are back in vogue?
this thing is a dang gangster!!!
is there a solution where that would be the setup but the parts is desktop parts?
ceph! in a box
also, dual amd boxes are kinda meh, single makes more sense
What does this have to do with starfield?
OK, it's past the watershed, I can watch all this server pr0n...
The music at the end was a little too loud
only 1 x M.2 .. argh! showstopper
Terraform is pulling license shenanigans. It's not really open source anymore
Someone doesn't need 96 cores per node?
Kid in a candy store :P
editor, no @ 1:11
