The Advantech SKY-9234S3 is a 2U4N rackmount server built for hyper-converged infrastructure and storage solutions. Its design allows flexible workload setup with shared infrastructure, such as cooling and power, reducing total cost of ownership (TCO) compared to four 1U servers. Featuring Intel® Xeon® scalable processors (Sapphire Rapids/Emerald Rapids) and DDR5 memory, it offers modular design with OCP mezzanine and PCIe slots. Additionally, the hybrid 2.5" U.2 NVMe SSD option enhances storage performance, while redundant, hot-swappable fans increase stability and serviceability. 

 

Features

• Up to 4 hot-swappable CPU node boards with single Intel® Xeon® scalable processor
• Up to 8 DDR5 5600MHz RDIMM sockets per node
• Flexible I/O configuration with up to 2 x PCIe Gen5 x16 slots per node
• Supports 1 x PCIe Gen5 x16 OCP 3.0 mezzanine card per node
• Redundant M.2 storage devices & optional one U.2 SSD slot per node
• Up to 12 x 3.5" SATA storage slots
• Hot swappable and redundant AC PSU options
• Redundant FW images (Advantech BIOS and BMC)
• Onboard BMC (IPMIv2.0 compliant) with web Interface, KVM, and Redfish
