Supermicro SYS-8048B-TRFT 4U rack server 4x Xeon E7-4820 v4 2.0 GHz 10-core 768GB DDR4 24x 3.5" bays

Enterprise 4U server

The Supermicro SYS-8048B-TRFT is a 4U rackmount server equipped with four Intel Xeon E7-4820 v4 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with 10 cores. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory installed across 96 DIMM slots. The chassis provides 24 front-accessible 3.5-inch hot-swap bays for SATA or SAS drives and includes a MegaRAID 9361-8i controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Compute-heavy workloads

This system suits organisations that need high core counts and large memory capacity for virtualisation, database or in-memory analytics workloads. Dual 10 GbE RJ45 ports and a dedicated IPMI 2.0 management port handle network and remote administration. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, more than eight internal RAID ports or single-thread frequencies above 2.0 GHz should evaluate alternative platforms.

24-bay storage capacity

The defining specification is the 24 hot-swap 3.5-inch drive bays paired with an 8-port 12 Gb/s SAS RAID controller. This combination determines how many drives can be attached internally and which RAID levels are available without adding external enclosures or additional controllers.
