Supermicro SYS-8048B-TRFT 4U rack server 4× Xeon E7-4850 v2 2.3 GHz 768 GB DDR3 24× 3.5" bays

Enterprise rack server for compute and storage

The Supermicro SYS-8048B-TRFT is a 4U rackmount server equipped with four Intel Xeon E7-4850 v2 processors at 2.3 GHz and 768 GB of DDR3 ECC memory. It provides 24 front-accessible 3.5" hot-swap bays for SAS or SATA drives and includes an LSI MegaRAID 9361-8i controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 10GBase-T ports and IPMI 2.0 with KVM-over-LAN handle connectivity and remote management.

Suits memory-heavy workloads and dense storage

This platform fits teams running virtualisation, large databases or analytics jobs that benefit from 96 populated DIMM slots and high core counts in a single chassis. The 24-bay layout supports massive raw capacity without external enclosures. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than eight internal RAID ports should evaluate platforms with additional PCIe x16 slots and broader HBA connectivity.

Quad-socket Xeon E7-4850 v2 with 768 GB DDR3

The four 12-core processors and 96 DIMM slots define the compute and memory ceiling for this system. Together they determine whether the server can handle the intended virtual machine density, in-memory database size or parallel processing throughput. Verify that the core count, clock speed and installed memory match the workload requirements before deployment.
