PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS

Highlights

Key capabilities for XS9NAV3.
01

Powerful compute for critical workloads

Supports up to 22 4th or 5th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors with a new microarchitecture. Up to 352 DDR5 DIMMs run at up to 4800 MHz, increasing memory bandwidth by 75%. PCIe 5.0 doubles interface bandwidth and significantly expands system scalability.

02

Flexible, high-capacity storage

Supports multiple hot-swappable drive configurations. Up to 396 LFF drives address large-scale capacity requirements, while up to 44 U.2 NVMe SSDs provide high storage I/O performance for tiered-storage workloads.

03

Build-to-order, rack-level delivery

Processor, memory, GPU and drive configurations can be tailored to project requirements. The rack is assembled and validated before delivery so it can be powered on and commissioned after arrival.
