Talos™ II 4U Rack Mount Server
TL2SV2
Talos™ II 4U rack mount server including:
  • Heavy-duty rack-mount chassis with redundant 1200W power supplies
  • A single Talos™ II EATX mainboard
  • Two 18-core IBM POWER9 v2 CPUs (recommended)
    • 18 cores per package
      • All Core Turbo capable
      • 32KB L1 data cache + 32KB L1 instruction cache / core
      • 512KB L2 cache / core pair
      • 10MB L3 cache / core pair
    • 14nm FinFET process
    • SMT4 capable
    • POWER IOMMU
    • Hardware virtualization extensions
  • One or two 3U POWER9 heatsink / fan (HSF) assemblies (same as CPU count)
  • 64GB DDR4 ECC registered memory (recommended, other options available)
  • 24 hot-swap SAS/SATA drive bays (full functionality requires 3 SAS controllers)
  • 500GB Samsung internal NVMe storage (optional, recommended)
  • Three LSI 9300-8i 8-port Internal SAS 3.0 HBAs (optional, recommended)
  • Recovery DVD

The Talos™ II mainboard is the first modern (post-2013), owner-controllable, workstation- and enterprise-class mainboard. Built around the brand-new IBM POWER9 processor, and leveraging Linux and OpenPOWER™ technology, Talos™ II allows you to secure your data without sacrificing performance. Designed with a fully owner-controlled CPU domain, you can audit and modify any portion of the open source firmware on the Talos™ II mainboard, all the way down to the CPU microcode. This is an unprecedented level of access for any modern workstation- or enterprise-class machine, and one that is increasingly needed to assure safety and compliance with new regulations, such as the EU's GDPR.

An owner-controlled, CPU-based secure boot mode also is available at any time. When secure boot is properly configured, and if the mainboard is located in a physically secure environment (e.g., a datacenter or locked workstation case), you can be assured that only your pre-approved and pre-audited firmware, kernel, and user space components are executing on a Talos™ II system.

Resources

NOTE: To provide maximal PCIe bandwidth for all peripherals, each slot is serviced by a dedicated CPU. As such, two CPUs are required to activate all PCIe slots on the Talos™ II mainboard.

NOTE: POWER HSF assemblies use a unique high-pressure locking mechanism to ensure proper CPU contact. The installed HSF assemblies will require a 5/32" hex driver, such as our TL2HD1, for attachment and removal.

NOTE: Product images shown are representative of the product being sold, but may vary slightly from the product as shipped due to continuous improvement and related changes.
