Quad-Socket Server for Enterprise Workloads

The Supermicro SYS-8048B-TRFT is a 4U rackmount server system built around four Intel Xeon E7-4890 v2 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.8 GHz with 15 cores, delivering 60 total cores for heavy multi-threaded applications. The chassis includes 768 GB of DDR3 registered ECC memory and 24 hot-swap bays for 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drives.

Suited for Database and Virtualisation Hosts

This configuration fits buyers who need large memory capacity and high core counts in a single rack unit. The MegaRAID 9361-8i controller manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across eight ports. Organisations that require more than eight directly attached drives or who need a different drive interface should look at other platforms.

Eight-Port 12 Gb/s RAID Controller Decides Fit

The installed LSI MegaRAID 9361-8i provides eight internal SAS ports with 1 GB cache and battery backup. If the storage plan calls for more than eight drives without an expander, or if a different RAID feature set is required, this server will not match the requirement.
