Tyan GT24B8226 Barebone System — 1U Rack-Mountable Dual-Processor Server Platform

The Tyan GT24B8226 barebone system is a compact, enterprise-grade platform designed to deliver dense computing power in a 1U rack-mountable form factor. Built for data centers, virtualization workloads, and high-density deployments, this barebone chassis provides a robust foundation that you can customize with your choice of AMD Opteron processors, memory, and storage. Featuring the AMD SR5690 chipset and Socket C32 LGA-1207 support, the GT24B8226 is engineered for reliability, thermal efficiency, and scalable performance in demanding environments. This barebone is ideal when you need a finely-tuned server backbone that can be optimized for specific workloads, from virtualization clusters to scientific computing environments. With 1U density and dual-processor capability, IT teams can deploy powerful, energy-conscious servers that maximize data-center footprint while delivering predictable performance. Note that, as a barebone system, you will supply processors, memory, and storage to complete the configuration—allowing you to tailor the platform to the precise bandwidth, latency, and capacity needs of your organization.

• Dual-processor architecture: Supports up to 2 AMD Opteron processors using Socket C32 LGA-1207, enabling parallel processing for virtualization, multi-threaded workloads, and HPC-style tasks. This configuration provides scalable compute power within a compact 1U chassis, helping you consolidate workloads without sacrificing performance.
• Extensive memory capacity: Up to 128 GB of DDR3 SDRAM across 16 DIMM slots, with DDR3-1333/PC3-10600 speed options. This generous memory footprint makes the GT24B8226 well-suited for memory-intensive applications, in-memory databases, and virtualization environments that demand ample RAM headroom for fast, responsive operation.
• Solid storage foundation: Integrated Serial ATA/300 controller delivers reliable SATA connectivity for flexible storage configurations. The barebone design lets you pair this platform with your preferred mix of drives—SATA SSDs for performance or high-capacity HDDs for bulk storage—within the 1U footprint.
• Professional-grade graphics for management: ASPEED AST2050 graphics support provides console display and management capabilities, enabling reliable remote management and operator visibility without compromising system performance for production workloads.
• Networking and chassis density: Built for dense data-center deployments with a durable 1U rack-mountable chassis and standard RJ-45 network connectivity. The GT24B8226 is purpose-built to optimize space, power efficiency, and reliability in fleet-scale server rooms.
