R162-ZA2

The ideal Proxmox server for cost-effective CEPH hyperconverged infrastructures

This server is readily available at Dynfi

  • Compact 1U form factor, ideal for high-density environments or rack-constrained setups, without compromising performance.
  • Fully compatible with Proxmox VE, validated in numerous production infrastructures for stable, high-performance, and easy-to-manage virtualization.
  • Up to 2TB of DDR4 ECC memory across 8 channels, offering exceptional RAM capacity for demanding virtualized workloads.
  • AMD EPYC™ 7003 Series processors, known for high energy efficiency, high core counts, and unbeatable performance-to-price ratio.
  • Up to 12 front-access Gen4 NVMe hot-swap bays, delivering ultra-fast storage performance, ideal for Ceph pools or high-performance VM volumes.
  • Dual M.2 PCIe (Gen4 and Gen3) support, perfect for hosting mirrored Proxmox systems on ZFS or for fast cache usage.
  • OCP 3.0 and 2.0 mezzanine support, enabling flexible networking options (10/25/40/100GbE), compatible with SDN, VXLAN, or Proxmox clustering scenarios.
  • Integrated BMC/Redfish IPMI management for reliable remote administration, compatible with orchestration tools like Ansible.
  • Ideal for Proxmox use cases: enterprise virtualization, Ceph HCI clusters, test labs, sovereign cloud hosting, or edge datacenters.
