2.1 Overview
The SKY-8260S is designed and optimized to meet the high availability and for
business-critical use cases. It is equipped with AMD EPYCTM 7003/7002 Series
Processor, which not only upgrades the total core counts per each consumed power
watt, but also provides a high performance and highly reliable platform for network
edge and virtualization applications.
In the compute-intensive cloud or edge-computing use cases, increasing network
performance, agility, and faster provisioning of applications and resources are essential.
By pairing with multiple Network Interface Cards or Acceleration Cards (e.g. FPGA or
GPU card), SKY-8260S offers a stable carrier-grade service of network and computing
acceleration. Powered by AMD EPYC 7002/7003 processor and the highly flexible
PCIE and IO expansion capability, SKY-8260S can also be applied in enterprise private
network infrastructure, science calculation, and specific mission-critical application
platform.
SKY-8260S is also designed to accommodate a wider range of temperature, dust, and
humidity in order to deal with the application system running in any harsh
environmental conditions. Redundant and field-replaceable PSU, Fan modules, and
Management firmware minimize costly downtime, service interruptions, and onsite
interventions.
