• Optimized 2U rackmount design with a spread-core CPU socket layout to maximize airflow and cooling efficiency in dense server chassis, reducing thermal throttling and enabling sustained performance across long-running workloads. The layout supports effective hot air removal, lower interior temperatures, and quieter, more consistent operation under pressure, which translates into higher reliability for virtualization hosts, database nodes, and high-transaction servers. With careful attention to airflow paths, cable management, and fan control, the S7086 helps data centers achieve better energy efficiency while maintaining peak performance during multi-VM, containerized, or service-oriented workloads.
• Supports dual Intel Xeon E5-2600v3/v4 processors for exceptional multi-core performance, virtualization scalability, and robust multiprocessing. This dual-processor capability brings increased core counts, larger cache, and enhanced memory bandwidth, enabling better consolidation ratios for virtual machines, faster database queries, and improved parallel processing for workloads such as analytics, rendering, and HPC tasks. The platform is designed to balance CPU power with efficient data movement across PCIe lanes and memory channels, so workloads that demand parallelism and throughput benefit from consistent, predictable performance across time.
• Intel C612 chipset delivers robust enterprise features, high memory bandwidth, and reliable I/O to support data-intensive applications. The chipset’s architecture provides support for server-grade memory configurations, PCIe connectivity, integrated management features, and platform reliability enhancements that reduce downtime. By leveraging the C612 ecosystem, the S7086 offers compatibility with a wide range of enterprise storage controllers, NIC options, and high-speed I/O devices, making it suitable for virtualization hosts, database servers, and storage front-ends in enterprise environments.
• Comprehensive expansion and I/O options, including multiple PCIe slots and extensive storage connectivity, enable flexible configurations for virtualization, HPC, and storage servers. The S7086 is designed to accommodate high-bandwidth add-ons such as PCIe NVMe adapters, SAS/SATA storage controllers, and network interface cards, while preserving airflow and cable organization in a 2U chassis. The board supports diverse I/O resources to handle dense virtual environments, large memory footprints, and fast data transfer requirements, helping administrators tailor configurations for specific SLAs and workload profiles.
• Server-grade reliability features, including ECC memory support, IPMI management, and hot-swap capabilities, provide uptime-focused safeguards for continuous operation. ECC memory helps detect and correct single-bit errors, preserving data integrity during long-term processing. IPMI management enables remote monitoring, warning alerts, firmware updates, and remote maintenance, reducing the need for onsite intervention. Hot-swap capable components and robust power delivery contribute to resilience in the face of hardware faults or maintenance windows, making the S7086 well-suited for mission-critical services and time-sensitive workloads in data centers.
