Supermicro 2U GrandTwin SuperServer (AS -2116GT-DTNF)

Discover the Supermicro AS -2116GT-DTNF, a cutting-edge 2U GrandTwin server designed to deliver outstanding density and performance for modern data center and edge computing needs. This innovative system packs two hot-pluggable nodes into a single 2U chassis, enabling higher compute density and simplified serviceability without sacrificing power or expandability. Each node accommodates a single AMD EPYC™ 9005 Series processor supporting thermal design power up to 500W under air cooling, providing robust multi-core performance for intensive applications.

Each node offers substantial memory bandwidth and capacity through 12 DIMM slots, supporting up to 3TB of DDR5 memory at speeds reaching 6400 MT/s in a 1DPC configuration. Advanced expansion capabilities include support for up to two PCIe 5.0 x16 full-height half-length slots or one PCIe 5.0 x16 full-height double-width slot measuring 10.5 inches, allowing seamless integration of high-performance GPUs for accelerated computing. Networking flexibility is enhanced by AIOM support along with the dedicated GrandTwin front I/O module, which facilitates easy upgrades to 10G, 25G, or 200G connectivity options to match evolving infrastructure demands.

Storage configurations provide practical versatility with up to four front hot-swap 2.5-inch NVMe or SATA drive bays as standard, expandable to six front hot-swap 2.5-inch NVMe drives for greater capacity and speed (*NVMe/SATA support may require additional storage controller and/or cables). Reliable power delivery comes from dual redundant 2200W Titanium Level power supplies that maintain efficiency and redundancy based on system load and configuration. The AS -2116GT-DTNF is purpose-built for a broad spectrum of workloads including high-performance computing, AI and machine learning development, deep learning training, scale-out object storage, cloud gaming platforms, telco edge and multi-access edge computing, content delivery networks, GPU-accelerated virtualization, IoT gateways, and scalable cluster nodes. Combining compact form factor, GPU readiness, high-speed memory, and modular networking, this Supermicro GrandTwin platform helps organizations maximize performance per rack unit while preparing for future growth in demanding enterprise and cloud environments.
