Scalable design for growing workloads
ESC8000 G4 is designed for easy scalability to fit growing businesses and workloads. With eight PCIe Gen3 x16 slots that fit full-height, full-length GPU cards, two PCIe Gen3 x16 slots for high-speed networking cards, and one internal PCIe Gen3 x8 slot for an HBA/RAID card, ESC8000 G4 is ready to deliver high-density, parallel computing power.
It also features multiple interface types for flexible storage configurations, including dual PCIe or SATA M.2, and port-to-port dual OCuLink with Intel VROC technology for two hot-swappable 2.5" NVMe SSDs. ESC8000 G4 also fits up to eight 2.5” SATA 6Gbp/s HDDs or eight 2.5” SAS 12Gbp/s HDDs with an optional HBA card.
8 x PCIe Gen3 x16 slots for eight full-height, full-length, dual-slot GPUs
2 x PCIe Gen3 x16 slots for two low-profile, half-length, high-speed networking cards
1 x Internal PCIe Gen3 x8 slot for a low-profile, half-length HBA/RAID card
2 x Hot-swap NVMe 2.5” storage device via port-to-port dual OCuLink & Intel VROC
Up to 8 x 2.5” SATA HDDs
Up to 8 x 2.5” SAS HDDs with optional HBA/RAID card
2 x PCIe & SATA 6Gbp/s M.2 connectors for two M.2 storage devices
* Only 1 LP/HL PCIe Gen3 x 16 slots works when switching to Topology 1, since one of the 1st PLX's PCIe lane would be occupied for connecting with 2nd PLX.
