- Reduces physical footprint by 75% compared to single-node 2U servers
- Maintains full processor and memory capabilities per node
- Simplifies cable management and power distribution
Enterprise-Grade Reliability
Dual redundant power supplies with 2.20 kW capacity each ensure continuous operation, while comprehensive thermal management maintains optimal operating temperatures.
- Hot-swappable power supply design
- Eight CPU heatsinks included for effective cooling
- Rail kit for secure rack mounting
Deployment / Use Cases
The Gigabyte H262-Z61 server barebone is ideally suited for environments requiring scalable, high-density compute resources. Virtualization platforms benefit from the four-node architecture, allowing consolidation of multiple virtual machines while maintaining hardware isolation between workloads. Each node can be configured independently, enabling mixed-use deployments within a single chassis.
Database hosting applications leverage the substantial memory capacity and processor support for demanding transactional workloads. The system's expansion capabilities accommodate additional storage controllers or network interfaces for specialized database configurations. High-performance computing clusters utilize the compact form factor to maximize compute density per rack unit, reducing facility costs while maintaining processing power.
Virtualization Host
Deploy as a VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, or KVM host with dedicated nodes for different departments, applications, or security zones.
Database Server
Configure for SQL Server, Oracle Database, or PostgreSQL deployments with ample memory for caching and multiple processors for parallel query execution.
Physical Profile
The H262-Z61 occupies a standard 2U rack space with dimensions of 3.44 inches (87.50 mm) in height, 17.32 inches (440 mm) in width, and 33.07 inches (840 mm) in depth. The rack-mountable form factor includes a rail kit for secure installation in 19-inch server racks. The compact 2U height optimizes vertical space utilization while providing sufficient internal volume for effective airflow and component cooling. The system's depth accommodates standard server cabinet configurations commonly found in data center environments.
