ECC memory forestalls data corruption to assure reliability

The Intel Xeon E based TS-2483XU-RP uses ECC memory that can detect and correct single-bit memory errors as they occur to prevent downtime and data loss, which is essential for always-on, mission-critical, server-grade applications. The TS-2483XU-RP supports dual-channel DDR4 memory in four Long-DIMM slots. When using paired memory modules, the TS-2483XU-RP can leverage the power of dual-channel architecture to boost performance. You also customize the memory configuration (supports up to 64 GB RAM) of the TS-2483XU-RP for greater performance to tackle dynamically-changing workloads such as virtualization.

Server-grade hardware: Sturdy and expandable

The TS-2483XU-RP features outstanding hardware and expandable architecture, enabling optimum performance and flexibility to fulfill business needs in performance and application diversification.

Dual 10GbE connectivity optimizes high-speed data transfer and VMware virtualization with iSER

The TS-2483XU-RP provides two 10GbE SFP+ ports that use the SmartNIC controller. They support the iSCSI Extensions for RDMA (iSER) protocol, allowing data to bypass general network drivers, the socket layer, and to directly enter memory buffers of the ESXi server and storage to offload CPU workloads. When both the VMware server and the TS-2483XU-RP support iSER, it can provide up to 60% increased random read/write performance and 50% decreased latency, providing an essential tool to optimize demanding virtualization applications.

Recommended usage of PCIe slots

The TS-2483XU-RP provides multiple PCIe slots. To ensure that the SATA drives have sufficient bandwidth, it is recommended to only use low-end expansion cards, (such as a 1GbE NIC, USB 3.2 Gen 1 card, or Wi-Fi adapter) with the PCIe Gen2 slot (Slot 1, 3, 5) as this slot is connected to the PCH. For high-end expansion cards (including 10GbE/40GbE NICs, SAS cards, Mustang-200 acceleration card, and graphics cards), it is recommended to use PCIe Gen3 slots (Slot 2, 4) as these slots are connected to the CPU.

Empower GPU-accelerated computing with graphics cards

Graphics cards are optimized for graphical calculations and transformations. The TS-2483XU-RP provides PCIe slots for installing an AMD Radeon or NVIDIA graphics card to boost data-intensive AI machine learning, while also providing benefits for imaging processing and virtual machine performance (via GPU passthrough).

Attain enterprise-grade SSD performance levels from affordable consumer SSDs

The TS-2483XU-RP supports software-defined SSD extra over-provisioning (OP) that allows you to allocate additional OP space (from 1% to 60%) to optimize random write speeds and to extend SSD lifespan. Now you can use affordable consumer SSDs for the TS-2483XU-RP, adjust the SSD OP, and potentially attain performance and endurance levels similar to enterprise-grade SSDs to enjoy faster file backups, smoother multimedia experiences, and optimized virtualization applications.
