Tyan's Booth

Over at Tyan's booth, we chanced upon some of their most recently released server products and those coming up in the next month.

This is the Tyan Thunder n3600M motherboard built around the nForce Professional 3600 MCP with 16 DDR2 DIMM slots supporting up to 64GB of registered DDR2-667 memory. It has two PCIe x16 slots (x8 links), three PCI-X slots and a single PCI slot. The storage subsystem is impressive with six SATA 3Gbps ports (with RAID) and eight SAS connectors also supporting RAID. Dual Gigabit LAN ports and an ATI ES1000 graphics controller (with 32MB RAM) round up the main features of this board.

This is also a dual processor board for AMD's Socket F processors, but this Thunder h2100R is based on the Serverworks HT2100 + HT1000 chipset. It has only one PCIe x16 slot, one PCI-X slot and 8 DIMM slots for 32GB of maximum memory. Even storage options have been reduced to four SATA 3Gpbs ports and four SAS connectors. However, it maintains two Gigabit LAN ports and it even features an OPMA connector for an M2 OPMA card to support KVM over IP functionality.

For high density compute power, without sacrificing rack space, Tyan has a couple of new sub-1U sized racks. In fact, two of these can fit into the space of a normal 1U chassis. This particular model is the Tank GT14 barebones server chassis utilizing an Intel 5000V platform, has six FBDIMM slots capable of supporting up to 24GB of memory, dual Gigabit LAN ports, space to house dual 2.5-inch SATA 3Gbps drives and can accommodate either one PCIe x16 expansion card or one 133MHz PCI-X slot. Comes with a 400W PSU.

This is an AMD version of the above based on the nForce Professional 3600 MCP- the Tyan Transport GT14.

Probably the most powerful AMD server board offering from Tyan, the Thunder n3600QX motherboard takes in four Socket F AMD Opteron 8000 series processors. That equates to 8 processing cores in total and when AMD's native quad-core processors arrive, that number doubles to 16 processing cores! Based on the nForce Professional 3600 chipset, the board's features include 32 DIMM slots for a total of 128GB of registered DDR2-667 memory, one PCIe x16 slot, one HTX slot, one OPMA connector, four SATA 3Gbps with RAID, eight SAS connectors with RAID, dual Gigabit Ethernet, one Infiniband port and integrates an ATI ES1000 graphics controller with 32MB memory.

The Tyan Thunder n3600QX motherboard is actually qualified to be used in a 1U chassis and Tyan's Transport GT26 does just that (with a 1KW PSU). It's quite amazing that all that computing power can be squeezed in such a slim form factor.
