Supermicro SYS-6028U-TR4T+ 2U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2697 v4 2.3GHz 18-core 16GB DDR4 12x 3.5" bays

Dual 18-Core Xeon 2U Server

The Supermicro SYS-6028U-TR4T+ is a 2U rackmount server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2697 v4 processors. Each CPU delivers 18 cores at 2.3 GHz with a 3.6 GHz turbo frequency. The system ships with 16 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 available DIMM slots. It targets organisations that need dense compute for virtualisation, databases or cloud workloads in a standard rack footprint.

Suits memory-hungry virtualisation hosts

This platform suits teams that can populate the 24 DIMM slots to reach the 1.5 TB memory ceiling and that rely on the dual 10 GbE ports for fast cluster interconnects. The 12 hot-swap 3.5-inch bays accept SAS or SATA drives behind the MegaRAID 9361-8i controller. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than two processor sockets should look at alternative form factors.

12 hot-swap 3.5-inch drive bays

The chassis provides twelve front-accessible 3.5-inch trays for SAS or SATA hard drives or SSDs. No drives are included. The LSI MegaRAID 9361-8i supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with 1 GB cache and battery backup. Storage capacity scales with the drives you install, making the bay count the primary constraint for data-heavy deployments.
