2019 CES Recap

GIGABYTE was proud to share many compelling products and solutions to attendees of CES 2019. Here is a brief wrap-up in case you were unable to attend:

Two-phase liquid immersion cooling of a GIGABYTE high performance computing system. Immersion cooling is a key technology for the data center of tomorrow – liquid is much more energy efficient at cooling than air, allowing you to reduce power consumption & environmental impact.

GIGABYTE has partnered with software vendor Bigtera to offer a range of VirtualStor turnkey storage appliances, offering unbeatable flexibility, scalability and performance. On show at CES was our H-Series 2U 4 node server showcased with VirtualStor Extreme, a high-performance all-flash SSD storage platform that offers 800,000 IOPS and a bandwidth of 10GB/s per chassis, and a consistent latency of less than 1 millisecond. Also available are VirtualStor Scaler for high capacity scale-out storage, and VirtualStor Converger for hyper-converged storage.

GIGABYTE's latest ultra-slim and light yet powerful Aero 15 Series laptops feature the latest NVIDIA RTX 20 series graphics cards together with Intel's Core i7-8750H or upgradeable to the Core i9-8950HK, an unlocked 6-core hyper threaded processor, as well as incorporating Microsoft Azure-powered AI technology to optimize CPU and GPU power delivery according to each application’s unique requirements.

GIGABYTE's G481-HA1 is a 4U, 10 x GPGPU server, using a single-root topology (1 CPU controls all 10 x GPGPUs) making it ideal for DNN (deep neural networks) training and other AI / machine learning workloads. GIGABYTE can not only provide the hardware but also combine the G481-HA1 together with a software stack from ITRI that optimizes performance for DNN training.

GIGAIPC, the embedded solutions specialist of GIGABYTE, provides a range of embedded systems and motherboards suitable to build your smart digital signage solution.

GIGABYTE has brought the impressive compute and I/O capabilities of AMD EPYC to a new single socket tower server that can support four GPGPU cards, making it ideal for SOHO, SME, universities or other organizations requiring a cost effective, high performance engine for simulation, machine learning or other AI, HPC or data processing workloads. VGA graphics cards may also be installed instead, turning the W291-Z00 into a powerful tool for CAD modeling or 3D rendering.

GIGABYTE's H261-Z60 and H261-Z61 combine four dual socket, hot pluggable nodes. Each node supports dual AMD EPYC processors - with up to 32 cores / 64 threads per processor, meaning that a single 2U chassis could feature up to 256 cores / 512 threads – making this product ideal for cloud computing, HPC or other applications requiring a massive amount of compute power in a single box.

GIGABYTE is bringing Arm to the server world with our Marvell ThunderX2 server systems, currently available in 1U & 2U dual-socket rackmount configurations and soon in 2U 4 node versions, with up to 32 cores and 128 threads per processor, offering a genuine alternative to x86 for your HPC or mainstream data center deployment.
