The Dell EMC PowerEdge R940xa is a four-socket enterprise server designed to drive GPU database acceleration for business-critical applications with a large capacity internal storage. The 4U unit is flexible and adapts to changing business demands. Its large internal storage gives you plenty of space to grow as your databases increase in complexity and size.
PowerEdge R940xa brings out SQream DB’s full potential, with up to 112 CPU processor cores, 4 NVIDIA Tesla GPUs, and fast NVMe-based storage. The PowerEdge R940xa system allows SQream DB to saturate GPU and CPU compute for the high-throughput computations common with data science, BI reporting, and ad-hoc analytics on very large data.
In the R940xa each CPU has direct PCIe connectivity to a single GPU which results in extremely fast data processing in all 4 CPU-GPU subsystems and minimizes latencies to a level that was impossible to achieve earlier.
