Supermicro SYS-6018U-TR4T+ 1U rack server 2× Xeon E5-2695 v4 2.1 GHz 18-core 16 GB DDR4 4× 3.5″ bays

Dual-socket 1U rack server

The Supermicro SYS-6018U-TR4T+ is a 1U rackmount server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2695 v4 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 18 cores each. It includes 16 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory and a MegaRAID 9361-8i controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Four hot-plug 3.5-inch SATA/SAS drive bays and quad 10GBase-T Ethernet ports are provided. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and IPMI 2.0 with KVM-over-LAN complete the platform.

Ideal for virtualization and compute density

This system suits organisations that need dual-socket performance in a single rack unit for virtualisation, HPC or cloud workloads. The 36 combined cores and quad 10GbE links handle parallel tasks and high-throughput networking. Buyers who require more than four 3.5-inch drive bays, larger installed memory, or a dedicated GPU for graphical workloads should evaluate other platforms.

Quad 10GBase-T networking

The single specification that decides fit is the onboard Intel X540 controller delivering four RJ45 10GBase-T ports. Environments that can use 10 GbE over copper cabling gain immediate high-speed connectivity without extra adapters. If the network infrastructure is limited to 1 GbE or relies on SFP+ fibre, the primary I/O advantage of this server goes unused.
