TYAN Announces VMware Certification of Two of Its Motherboards
The S8230 and S8236 motherboards are based on dual AMD Opteron 6100 Series processors, and support 12-core Opteron processors.
Server platform manufacturer TYAN announced this week that its S8230 and S8236 motherboards received VMware certification. Both motherboards are based on dual AMD Opteron 6100 Series processors, and support 12-core Opteron processors, 4-channel DDR3-1333 memory, and HT3.
Kevin Hart, TYAN’s director of product marketing, says his company is committed to supporting VMware and virtual server environments. He adds, “These dual Socket G34 boards are designed around AMD’s SR5690 chipset and support a pair of Opteron 6100 series ‘Magny Cours’ processors. Based on an industry standard Extended ATX form factor, all five models can be deployed in a wide variety of off-the-shelf server chassis.”
The S8236 is a 1U rack-optimized server board and is suited for HPC applications due to its full 48-link HyperTransport implementation between CPUs. The board features two 16-bit and two 8-bit HT3 channels for communication between processors.
S8236 features include ASPEED AST2050 graphics, SATA RAID, eight USB ports, rear COM port for IPMI, three Gigabit Ethernet ports, one of which can be used for iKVM. S8236 models also includes two PCI-E Gen 2.0 x16 slots (supporting half-length sized PCIE cards via a 1U riser card). An optional LSI SAS2008 controller provides eight additional storage ports.
The TYAN S8230 server board includes many of the same on-board features as S8236, but (-LE version excluded) also includes four PCI-E slots plus two legacy 32-bit PCI slots.
All five new VMware-certified server motherboard models are available now through TYAN’s authorized distributors
