G3NZMSI has rolled out its latest server platforms, now turbocharged with Intel’s Xeon 6 processors featuring Performance Cores (P-Cores).
These high-octane machines are engineered to rev up performance, ensure smooth scalability, and sip power efficiently.
They’re the perfect pit crew for AI applications, cutting-edge data centers, and cloud-native workloads, all while keeping your total cost of ownership (TCO) in the slow lane.
“As industries shift gears towards data-driven operations, businesses need solutions that not only hit the gas on performance but also cruise towards sustainable growth and operational agility,” said Danny Hsu, General Manager of MSI’s Enterprise Platform Solutions.
“Our servers, powered by Intel Xeon 6 processors, are built to offer high-core scalability, energy-efficient performance, and dynamic workload optimization.
These features empower organizations to maximize compute density, streamline their digital ecosystems, and respond to market changes faster than a sports car on a straightaway.”
Enterprise Servers for Compute-Intensive Workloads
Meet the new speed demons in MSI’s garage:
- CX170-S5062: This 1U dual-socket server is designed for tight corners and high-density environments. It supports 32 DDR5 DIMM slots, offering massive memory scalability for cloud workloads and data analytics. With up to 12 U.2 NVMe bays and additional E1.S and M.2 NVMe slots, it’s ready for flexible storage configurations. Its compact form factor makes it ideal for maximizing rack space without skimping on performance, perfect for edge data centers and hyperscale deployments.
- CX270-S5062: This 2U dual-socket server is optimized for maximum storage and PCIe expansion. Like its 1U sibling, it supports 32 DDR5 DIMM slots but boasts a larger chassis that accommodates up to 24 U.2 NVMe bays, delivering superior storage density for large-scale data processing. It features two double-wide PCIe 5.0 x16 slots supporting 400W accelerators, making it ideal for AI, HPC, and data-intensive workloads that need a nitrous boost. Its extensive PCIe expansion capability supports advanced networking cards, storage controllers, and additional accelerators, offering flexibility for diverse enterprise applications.
- CX271-S3066: This 2U single-socket server is optimized for Intel Xeon 6500/6700 series with P-Cores, supporting up to 136 PCIe lanes for exceptional I/O scalability. It features 16 DDR5 DIMM slots, making it a cost-effective choice for workloads optimized for high PCIe bandwidth and efficient memory performance. The server supports flexible PCIe expansion with double-wide FHFL PCIe 5.0 x16 slots for up to 400W accelerators, alongside options for up to 24 U.2 NVMe bays, making it well-suited for AI inference, virtualization, and cloud-native applications.
Core Compute Servers for Exceptional Compute Density and Thermal Efficiency
For those who need to pack more punch per square inch, MSI offers:
- CD270-S3061-X4: A 2U 4-node density-optimized server designed for maximum compute density with four nodes per chassis. Each node is powered by Intel Xeon 6500/6700 series with P-Cores, supporting 16 DDR5 DIMM slots and three U.2 NVMe SSD bays. Its compact, high-density design leverages 1U Extended Volume Air Cooler (EVAC) CPU heatsinks for efficient thermal management, making it ideal for large-scale cloud and compute environments where node density is the priority, without additional PCIe expansion.
- CD270-S3061-X2: A 2U 2-node airflow-optimized server that balances compute performance with expandability. Powered by Intel Xeon 6500/6700 series, each node supports 16 DDR5 DIMM slots and offers flexible storage with six U.2 NVMe bays, plus optional support for eight E1.S drives to enhance storage density. Unlike the CD270-S3061-X4, it includes a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot for I/O expansion, with thermal performance optimized by its 2U EVAC CPU heatsinks, making it suitable for data center workloads that require both compute power and flexible PCIe connectivity.
With these new server platforms, MSI is not just keeping up with the fast lane of data-driven transformation; it’s leading the pack, offering solutions that combine performance, efficiency, and agility to help businesses navigate the twists and turns of modern markets.
