Gigabyte Ampere Altra 2U UP ARM 8x2.5" SAS-SATA hot-swappable 2x800W Server R272-P30

Ampere® Altra® Processor

Cloud Native Server Processors

Ampere’s Altra® family of processors are designed to deliver on predictable performance, high scalability and power efficiency. Ampere’s leadership on all these metrics deliver exceptional results and lower the TCO for Cloud Service Providers.


Arm System Ready

New generation cloud native platform with larger scope that includes Server, Embedded, and Linux.

Arm has developed two generations of processors so far. GIGABYTE has assisted and supported Arm in developing solutions, including the v1.0 & 2.0 ServerReady program since 2018. GIGABYTE is the only server hardware manufacturer listed on Arm’s official website under Partner Testimonials.


Hardware Security

Hardware-level Root of Trust (RoT)

Protection is built in the silicon to ensure systems will not be vulnerable to security attacks or cyber threats. This ROT helps isolate the system as the boot process starts to verify cryptographic operations and ensures the firmware is not compromised by malware.

Optional TPM 2.0 Module

For hardware-based authentication, the passwords, encryption keys, and digital certificates are stored in a TPM module to prevent unwanted users from gaining access to your data. GIGABYTE TPM modules come in either a Serial Peripheral Interface or Low Pin Count bus.


High Availability

Smart Ride Through (SmaRT)

To prevent server downtime and data loss as a result of loss of AC power, GIGABYTE implements SmaRT in all our server platforms. When such an event occurs, the system will throttle while maintaining availability and reducing power load. Capacitors within the power supply can supply power for 10-20ms, which is enough time to transition to a backup power source for continued operation.
