GIGABYTE Technology has built a “two-phase immersion cooling solution” for one of Taiwan’s foremost semiconductor giants, to be used in its sustainable, future-proof “green HPC data centers”. Not only does the solution boost the performance of HPC processors by over 10%—which is crucial for the nanometer process technology used in IC foundries—it also reduces data center power consumption by 30% and lowers PUE below 1.08, which turns it into a role model of green computing that may be replicated in data centers around the world. This exemplary project demonstrates how GIGABYTE can support its clients’ CSR, ESG, and SDGs-related initiatives, and how GIGABYTE is working tirelessly to “Upgrade Your Life” with high tech while protecting our environment.     One of the most important changes to sweep over the world is the international community’s determination to combat climate change and achieve carbon neutrality. This is proven by the 2015 Paris Agreement and the Glasgow Climate Pact in 2021.  The new epoch of environmental consciousness is having a profound effect on the way companies do business: from the way they invest in new technology, to the way they develop products and services, to how they approach the market. Failure to demonstrate the company’s commitment to CSR (corporate social responsibility), ESG (environmental, social, and corporate governance), and SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) will not go unnoticed by consumers and investors—and even less so by government regulators and lawmakers, who are beholden to the public.  As one analyst has so succinctly put it: “Every enterprise is on the pathway to carbon neutrality, whether they have decided this for themselves or not.”One exemplary industry leader that has demonstrated remarkable initiative in achieving carbon neutrality is the prominent IC foundry giant that leads the world in advanced process technology. This titan of the industry utilizes high performance computing (HPC) to manufacture semiconductor chips on the nanometer scale with a high degree of precision and excellent yield. At the same time, the IC foundry giant adheres to the ESG vision of uplifting our society through the reduction of carbon emissions, the fulfillment of its climate pledge, and the achievement of “net zero”. Therefore, the industry leader has devoted considerable resources to finding a way to expand its data centers’ HPC capabilities in a sustainable and eco-friendly way.Glossary:《What is High Performance Computing (HPC)?》《What is Data Center?》In October of 2020, the IC foundry giant reached out to GIGABYTE Technology and other industry leaders to build a “two-phase immersion cooling data center”. This revolutionary new solution will incorporate a type of data center cooling technology known as “two-phase immersion cooling” to improve chip computing performance and reduce power consumption. Not only will this be beneficial to the state-of-the-art semiconductor manufacturing process, it will also help the IC foundry giant usher in a new era of “green HPC data centers,” with the end goal being to reduce 400 million KW-HR per year starting from 2030.Learn More:《Press Release: Building a Two-phase Immersion Cooling Solution for IC Foundry Giant, GIGABYTE Is Looking to Set New Standards for Modern Data Center》《Learn All about Immersion Cooling on GIGABYTE’s Dedicated Solutions Page》     Benefit #1: Eco-Friendly Solution Reduces Power Consumption by Up to 30% and Lowers PUE Below 1.08 In the IC foundry giant’s semiconductor fabrication plant (commonly called a fab or foundry) in Hsinchu, Taiwan, GIGABYTE Technology worked with other industry leaders—including the power and thermal management solutions provider Delta Electronics, the networking and communications expert Accton Technology, and the American conglomerate 3M—to build the “two-phase immersion cooling solution”. The two-phase immersion cooling solution relies on the natural evaporation and condensation of its dielectric coolant, which has a low boiling point of 50°C, to transfer heat from the electronic components to the condenser at the top of the tank. This is a superbly energy-efficient system that reduces power consumption and lowers PUE.   From the outside, the solution looks like a large white metal cabinet, measuring 1.8 meters wide, 1.1 m. deep, and 2.5 m. high. Two gloveboxes occupy the upper half of the cabinet. The lower half is where the magic happens: 96 custom-made server motherboards provided by GIGABYTE are installed in a sealed tank filled partially with dielectric, nonconductive liquid coolant. The coolant bath chills the electronic components directly, which is a remarkable advancement compared to conventional air-cooling or direct-to-chip (D2C) liquid cooling.Learn More:《Take a Closer Look at GIGABYTE’s Two-Phase Immersion Cooling Solution》《More information about GIGABYTE’s Server Motherboards》《Glossary: What is Liquid Cooling?》Two-phase immersion cooling is different from single-phase immersion cooling in one distinctive way. In the single-phase system, warm coolant is cycled out to a coolant distribution unit (CDU) to remove the heat via a cooling tower, a dry cooler, or a chiller. The two-phase system achieves the same effect through a recurring cycle of vaporization and condensation within the same sealed tank. Because the coolant that is used has an ultra-low boiling point of just 50°C, heat from the servers will naturally cause the coolant to evaporate and transfer heat out of the bath. The vapors are then chilled by a lid or coil condenser at the top of the tank, allowing the condensation to flow back into the coolant bath to restart the cycle.The IC foundry giant is able to reduce the data center’s total power consumption by up to 30% and lower PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) from 1.35 to below 1.08 by adopting two-phase immersion cooling in its green HPC data center. Since a lower PUE denotes greater energy-efficiency, this is a major stride forward. Overall, the two-phase immersion cooling solution has a high cooling capacity of 100KW, which is recommended for the powerful processors which are used in HPC.《Glossary: What is PUE?》The IC foundry giant has achieved a breakthrough in more ways than one. On the one hand, adopting more energy-efficient cooling solutions will go a long way toward future-proofing the semiconductor manufacturing process and making it less susceptible to power outages or brownouts. On the other hand, green computing has become increasingly important as the world gets hotter and carbon emissions become more heavily taxed. Building eco-friendly green HPC data centers with smaller carbon footprints may help the IC foundry giant fulfill SDGs number 7 (“ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all”) and number 9 (“build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation”), as outlined by the United Nations.According to a statement released by the IC foundry giant, it is working proactively to make the two-phase immersion cooling solution an industrial standard, so that it may be promoted to and utilized by other companies in the supply chain to help achieve greater sustainability in the future.     Benefit #2: Highly Dense Configuration of HPC Processors Gets 10% Boost in Computing Performance The second major advantage of using two-phase immersion cooling is how it enables processors to perform at peak capacity. The reason is as follows: in a standard air-cooled data center or server room, the set point—which is the room’s baseline temperature—is kept at around 30°C to 35°C, and CPU performance is “throttled” at about 80%, to keep the chips from overheating. Because immersion cooling is more effective at removing heat very quickly, it is possible to let both the ambient temperature go up and the CPU performance cap out, resulting in chip computing performance being improved by 10% or more. It goes without saying that getting better performance out of the green HPC data center is hugely beneficial for the IC foundry giant.《Glossary: What is Server Room?》 The 96 GIGABYTE server motherboards installed in the two-phase immersion cooling solution run on AMD EPYC™ processors. Because immersion cooling is more effective at removing heat, the CPUs can operate at maximum capacity, resulting in a performance boost of over 10%.   The 96 GIGABYTE server motherboards installed in the two-phase immersion cooling solution run on AMD EPYC™ processors, which offer impressive core and thread counts that are ideally suited for HPC-related tasks. Such a large number of nodes, even if they were installed in GIGABYTE’s industry-leading H-Series High Density Servers (such as the H262-Z6A, which packs four nodes in a 2U form factor), would take up at least 48 rack units of space—and that is not considering the networking hardware that supports the computing and storage nodes in a data center. Not only does two-phase immersion cooling make a highly dense configuration of server components possible, it also removes unnecessary air-cooling components, such as fans, heatsinks, and heat shrouds from the server design. This helps to free up more space, reduce the chances of equipment failure, and eliminates temperature variations and component degradation that may result from the vibration of the moving parts.Learn More:《More information about GIGABYTE’s High Density Server》《Glossary: What is Core?》《Glossary: What is Thread?》《Glossary: What is Node?》《Glossary: What is Rack Unit (RU or U)?》In the first quarter of 2022, the IC foundry giant officially unveiled its two-phase immersion cooling solution to the public. The GIGABYTE team was there every step of the way to ensure the industry leader’s groundbreaking vision came to fruition. The IC foundry giant has commended GIGABYTE for its industry-leading research and development capabilities, its fast response time when responding to customer queries, and its ability to effectively put plans into action.The expert knowledge gained by GIGABYTE through the process will be beneficial for future applications in other industries, such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, edge computing, FinTech, and machine learning—basically, any sector that must contend with the thermal management dilemma posed by increasingly powerful CPUs and GPUs that generate more and more heat.Glossary:《What is 5G?》《What is Artificial Intelligence?》《What is Cloud Computing?》《What is Edge Computing?》《What is Machine Learning?》《What is GPU?》GIGABYTE Technology is glad to contribute to the semiconductor industry and protect our environment by designing and building the eco-friendly and future-proof HPC data center that incorporates two-phase immersion cooling. It is hoped that, since Taiwan is an exemplary tech hub and the world leader in semiconductor production, the solution selected by the IC foundry giant may become the role model that the global supply chain emulates. The continuous effort to help enterprises make headway toward carbon neutrality, as well as fulfill their CSR, ESG, and SDGs-related commitments, is in keeping with GIGABYTE’s corporate vision: “Upgrade Your Life” with innovative high tech solutions that will deliver better business results while building a greener, more sustainable world of tomorrow.

Created by Greener Grass Production, the Taiwanese sci-fi mini-series “2049” made its debut on Netflix and various local TV channels. The animated spin-off “2049+ Voice of Rebirth”, crafted by Xanthus Animation Studio, premiered on the streaming service myVideo. The CGI show was created with the NCHC Render Farm’s GIGABYTE servers, which employ top-of-the-line NVIDIA® graphics cards to empower artists with industry-leading rendering capabilities. The servers can take on multiple workloads simultaneously through parallel computing, and they boast a wide range of patented smart features that ensure stability and availability. With all it has going for it, “2049+ Voice of Rebirth” may garner enough attention to become the breakout hit that will introduce Taiwanese animation to international audiences.     A futuristic metropolis shrouded in a green haze, viewed as if through a glass darkly, where larger-than-life holograms out of a Philip K. Dick novel loom above the cityscape. A yawning chasm between ultramodern skyscrapers and the imposing figures of ancient temple guardians, through which the vortex of everyday life ebb and flow, reminiscent of the style of Japanese director Mamoru Oshii. All this rendered in vibrant, cel-shaded CGI, crafted with the polish and sophistication of a theatrical release that’s made by a world-class animation studio.These are scenes from the computer-animated feature “2049+ Voice of Rebirth”, produced by the Taiwanese company Xanthus Animation Studio. Founded in 2004 by a team of kindred spirits, Xanthus is the creative force behind the popular Taiwanese children’s animated series “Yameme”, as well as a frequent collaborator in global franchises such as “Final Fantasy” and “Monster Strike”. For many years, Xanthus worked with Taiwan’s award-winning Greener Grass Production to launch an animated spin-off of the latter’s science fiction mini-series “2049”, which debuted on Netflix and other platforms in October 2021. “2049+ Voice of Rebirth” featured original music provided by Taiwan’s famous record label HIM International Music Inc., and it premiered on myVideo, a streaming service owned by the telecom giant Taiwan Mobile. The story focused on Taiwan in the not-so-distant future of 2049, and how artificial intelligence would affect pressing social issues such as affordable housing.《Glossary: What is Artificial Intelligence?》The pairing of a star-studded live-action TV show with an animated companion piece is a bold new experiment for Xanthus. With any luck, it may be the breakout hit that introduces Taiwanese animation to the international market. “Taiwanese animation has the talent and technology to make a splash on the world stage,” says Bruce Yao, CEO of Xanthus Animation. “Our animation techniques surpass Southeast Asian or even European competitors. Taiwanese animators are often headhunted by Chinese digital media companies. Now, with streaming platforms like Netflix, HBO GO, and Disney Plus, there’s a golden opportunity for Taiwanese animated shows to attract a wider audience overseas.”The fact of the matter is, animation has a long and lauded history in Taiwan. Starting in the 1970s, the Taiwanese animation company Wang Film Productions (also known as Hong Guang Animation) did outsourcing work for big American conglomerates like Hanna-Barbera, Warner Bros., and Walt Disney, collaborating on major projects such as “Tarzan” and “The Lion King”. Another animation studio, CGCG Inc., was famous for its work on the “Star Wars” and “How to Train Your Dragon” franchises; purportedly, George Lucas himself came to Taiwan to visit CGCG. More recently, Moonshine Animation gained critical acclaim for its use of GPU servers and artificial intelligence to render authentic, life-like animation.Learn More:《More information about GIGABYTE's GPU Server》《Moonshine Animation: Applying Cutting-Edge AI & VDI Technologies with GIGABYTE Servers》Yet, the industry as a whole has had its ups and downs. Taiwanese animation has generally struggled to transition from doing outsourcing work to creating their own intellectual properties. One commonly cited reason is the limited size of the domestic market. Another hurdle is the lack of capital to finance blockbusters. Last but not least, Taiwan faces stiff competition in the international arena, where American franchises dominate the theaters, while animated shows are the forte of Japanese studios. How to emerge on the world stage despite these limitations—similar to how Korea has succeeded with “K-pop” and “K-dramas”—is a question for all aspiring Taiwanese animators.The industry veterans at Xanthus think they may have a solution. “No one had even heard of Pixar before it revolutionized the industry with its first computer-animated film, ‘Toy Story’ in 1995. Exciting new technology, coupled with easy access to the market via streaming services, may be what Taiwan needs to make a comeback,” says Marketing & Planning Director Mason Yao, who is Bruce’s younger brother.To infuse its magnum opus with the creative spark that may capture the imagination of a wider audience, Xanthus called upon the services of Taiwan’s National Center for High-performance Computing (NCHC), as well as its crowning jewel—the Render Farm powered by GIGABYTE’s server solutions.Learn More:《NCHC Builds Render Farm with GIGABYTE Servers: Blending Art and Imagination with High Performance Computing》《Glossary: What is Render Farm?》《Glossary: What is HPC?》     NCHC Provides Tech, Nurtures Talent to Enhance Taiwanese Animation As part of the National Applied Research Laboratories (NARLabs), the NCHC built the Render Farm to provide high performance computing (HPC) and cloud computing services for Taiwan’s content creators, such as animators and filmmakers. It hosts the annual “HPC NCHC Animation Challenge” to encourage the younger generation to enter the animation industry. In this way, the NCHC hopes to help Taiwanese animation maintain its edge in terms of technology and talent, while reducing the barriers to entry by offering a rendering platform that’s accessible to professionals and amateurs alike.Learn More:《GIGABYTE Reaffirms Its Commitment to Tomorrow’s Talent at 9th HPC NCHC Animation Challenge》《Glossary: What is Cloud Computing?》 “2049+ Voice of Rebirth”, the animated magnum opus by Xanthus Animation Studio, hopes to wow viewers with its sophisticated CGI, which was created with the help of the NCHC Render Farm. Streaming platforms like Netflix may be the springboard that will catapult Taiwanese animation to international success.   By tapping into the Render Farm’s incredible processing power, Xanthus has crafted an animated show filled with dazzling imagery and poignant artistry, worthy of being the companion piece to the acclaimed “2049” mini-series. “2049+ Voice of Rebirth” evokes the style and ethos of the cyberpunk genre, with design choices and story beats paying homage to classics such as “Blade Runner” and “Ghost in the Shell”. At the same time, it recounts a distinctively Taiwanese narrative, touching upon the themes of folk religion and discussing pervasive societal issues, such as urban redevelopment and grassroots activism. The result is a refreshing take on the near-future sci-fi genre that manages to be at times bewildering and fantastical, while remaining firmly rooted in realism and radiating genuine empathy for its flawed and complex human characters.Artistically, Xanthus was able to walk a fine line between fact and fiction by utilizing scenes and settings from the real world as much as possible. To recreate the area of Nanjichang in central Taipei, where the story takes place, the Xanthus team used point cloud technology to scan and render the century-old community. The character models were intentionally converted from 3D to 2D, and then lit with normal mapping to achieve an authentic cyberpunk “feel”. The textures are a substantial upgrade over Xanthus’s more child-oriented programs to appeal to an older audience. As a result, “2049+ Voice of Rebirth” has the production value of a world-class theatrical release.《Glossary: What is Point Cloud?》A lot of this was made possible by the NCHC Render Farm and its array of GIGABYTE servers. “Our production capacity was effectively doubled by using the Render Farm; even big, flashy sequences could be animated in a relatively short time. Not to mention the quality and reliability—we have rented services from other render farms before, and have even tried building our own. Needless to say, nothing compares to what the NCHC has to offer us,” says Bruce Yao. Xanthus utilized “point cloud” technology to recreate the historical area of Nanjichang in central Taipei. They imagined a not-so-distant future where AI applications may intersect with social issues such as affordable housing and urban renewal. Will we use technology to create a better tomorrow, or will we languish in the dystopian future often envisioned in the cyberpunk genre? The Render Farm’s Secret Weapon: Server Solutions by GIGABYTE Owing to its cluster of GIGABYTE G-Series GPU Servers, the NCHC Render Farm is able to give content creators access to cutting-edge animation techniques, while remaining cost-efficient, reliable, and available. Specifically, the NCHC chose the G191-H44, which features four GPU card slots in a slim 1U chassis, and the G481-S80, which can fit up to eight NVIDIA® Tesla® V100 SXM2 modules in a 4U chassis. Both models run on 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors.Learn More:《Glossary: What is Computing Cluster?》《More information about GIGABYTE's Intel Xeon Scalable Servers》Over the years, the NCHC Render Farm has offered technological support to Taiwan’s content creators, culminating in the premiere of over five hundred animated or live-action films. Case in point: the mini-series “Seqalu: Formosa 1867”, an epic historical drama conceived by Taiwan’s Public Television Service (PTS), features special effects created by the Render Farm. Ancient ships, storms on the open sea, and other cinematic elements were rendered to great effect. Another recent collaboration with Xanthus is “Yameme Team vs. Math Demon”, Taiwan’s first educational 3D animated feature about arithmetic, which caters to tens of thousands of parents and children. The industry-leading processing power of the GIGABYTE servers have no trouble keeping up with the ever-evolving demands of animators and filmmakers.For “2049+ Voice of Rebirth”, the G191-H44 and G481-S80 offered two key perks that helped the artists knock it out of the park:1. The combination of CPU and GPU resources through heterogeneous computing to enable the latest animation techniques, such as motion capture, point cloud, and virtual reality. Parallel computing and low-latency performance allow multiple users to access the Render Farm’s services simultaneously.2. Patented smart features related to power and cooling that ensure system stability, which in turn guarantees the Render Farm’s services are always available to its users.Glossary:《What is GPU?》《What is Heterogeneous Computing?》《What is Parallel Computing?》 GIGABYTE’s G481-S80 can house up to eight NVIDIA® V100 GPUs. GPU performance is enhanced by the NVIDIA® NVLink™ interconnect architecture, which improves the bandwidth and scalability of a server with multiple graphics cards. The result is maximized throughput and optimized GPU-to-GPU acceleration. NVIDIA® GPUs and Parallel Computing Enable Creative Rendering Methods The G191-H44 and G481-S80 are powered by Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors; they also feature additional slots for GPU cards, which are ideal for rendering CGI. The servers employ NVIDIA® V100 and NVIDIA® Quadro® RTX 8000 GPUs—some of the best options on the market. To use the G481-S80 as an example, rendering can be done forty times faster when all eight of its sockets are occupied by NVIDIA® V100 GPUs. Avant-garde animation techniques, such as motion capture, point cloud, and virtual reality, can be utilized with this set-up. Because of this, when independent studios like Xanthus connect to the GIGABYTE servers at the NCHC Render Farm, they experience an efficiency boost like never before.What’s more, the performance of these servers is greater than the sum of their parts. The G481-S80 is equipped with NVIDIA® NVLink™, an interconnect architecture designed to maximize throughput and optimize GPU-to-GPU acceleration in a system with multiple graphics cards. NVLink™ can increase the scalability, bandwidth, and number of links between graphics cards in the SXM2 form factor. To use the NVIDIA® Volta™ Series as an example, with NVIDIA® NVLink™, a single GPU can support up to six links, each transmitting data at the speed of 25 gigabytes per second in both directions. That’s a total bandwidth of 300 gigabytes per second—ten times the average bandwidth of PCIe 3.0. Such high-density parallel computing capabilities and low-latency performance make these servers the ideal HPC solutions for servicing multiple users simultaneously.Glossary:《What is Scalability?》《What is PCIe?》It’s worth noting that GIGABYTE’s G-Series GPU Servers are incredibly versatile and can be used in other sectors besides animation. To use the G191-H44 as an example, its industry-leading dense configuration of four GPUs in a 1U chassis is ideal for workloads related to AI, machine learning, and deep learning, as well as technical computing applications in the fields of financial services, life sciences, and energy exploration. It has been validated for use with NVIDIA® NGC™ and can fully support cloud software provided by NVIDIA, making it ideal for data scientists and researchers who wish to create a multi-tenant AI algorithm training environment. The G191-H44 has also been officially recognized as an NVIDIA® EGX™ Platform; these are GPU-accelerated platforms designed for edge computing, which can be deployed as part of a 5G cellular base station or micro data center (MDC), providing real-time inferencing and data processing on the edge of the network.Learn More:《Glossary: What is Machine Learning?》《Glossary: What is Deep Learning?》《Glossary: What is Edge Computing?》《GIGABYTE’s GPU Servers Help Improve Oil & Gas Exploration Efficiency》 With four GPU card slots in a 1U chassis, the GIGABYTE G191-H44 boasts industry-leading GPU density that makes it ideal for workloads related to artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning, as well as HPC-related applications in a render farm used by animators and filmmakers. Patented Smart Features Ensure Reliability and Availability for Users The team at Xanthus has observed that although the Render Farm doubled their production capacity, the servers are clearly capable of handling much larger workloads. “I would not be surprised if the Render Farm could provide every content creator with just about as much capacity as they could ask for,” muses Bruce Yao.The fact of the matter is, the GIGABYTE servers had been put through their paces for precisely this purpose. During the validation phase, the Render Farm conducted a battery of rigorous stress tests on the servers. A 4K ultra-high-definition video was played at the NCHC’s headquarters in Hsinchu, and then a server located in the Taichung branch was connected to begin processing the video. The video was then accessed and broadcasted on up to a hundred client devices, simulating a scenario in which the Render Farm would be pushed to its maximum capacity. The GIGABYTE servers passed with flying colors. They are fully capable of tackling many massive workloads at the same time, making it a breeze for different animation studios to use the Render Farm to complete their projects.The G191-H44 and G481-S80 have ways of ensuring smooth and reliable operations for users connected to the Render Farm. The secret lies in the servers’ array of patented smart features, which can take care of everything from temperature control to power efficiency.     ● Automatic Fan Speed Control To achieve an optimal balance between cooling and power efficiency, Automatic Fan Speed Control is enabled in the GIGABYTE servers. This means the speed of individual fans will adjust automatically according to feedback from temperature sensors monitoring key components, such as the CPU, GPU, DIMM, memory, and storage.《Glossary: What is DIMM?》     ● Cold Redundancy To take advantage of the fact that a PSU with a higher load will run at greater power efficiency, GIGABYTE servers with N+1 redundancy are equipped with a power management function known as Cold Redundancy. When the total system load falls below 40%, the system will automatically place one PSU in standby mode, resulting in a 10% improvement in power efficiency.     ● Smart Crises Management and Protection (SCMP) SCMP is a patented feature included in GIGABYTE servers without a fully redundant power supply unit (PSU) design. In the event of a faulty PSU or overheating, the SCMP function will force the CPU to go into an ultra-low power mode to reduce the power load, protecting the system from unexpected shutdowns and avoiding component damage or data loss. GIGABYTE’s G-Series GPU Servers help animators merge creativity with technology so they can bring fantastical visions to life. Powerful CPU and GPU resources can render epic CGI sequences in a jiffy, while parallel computing capabilities ensure multiple users can access the rendering services simultaneously. Working with the NCHC, GIGABYTE Upgrades Taiwan’s Animation Industry “A project like the Render Farm was made possible by the public sector, so it should be universal enough for everyone to use and enjoy,” says Dr. Chia-Chen Kuo, project leader at the NCHC Render Farm. She believes that since technology is also part of Taiwan’s culture, working with leading tech companies like GIGABYTE will go a long way towards improving Taiwan’s cultural exports. By infusing CGI shows with animation techniques that are made possible through high performance computing, the NCHC can help content creators share Taiwan's unique aesthetics and stories with the rest of the world.The rendering capabilities of the G191-H44 and G481-S80 make cutting-edge animation techniques accessible to content creators, while the servers’ patented smart features ensure services are available and reliable. These benefits are in keeping with Dr. Kuo’s original vision, and they make it possible for local companies like Xanthus Animation Studio to enjoy a dramatic entry on the world stage. GIGABYTE’s motto is “Upgrade Your Life”. It is a sincere belief that brilliant new inventions will fundamentally change the way we live, work, and play for the better. The same holds true for Taiwan’s animation industry, which may return to—or even surpass—its glory days with server solutions by GIGABYTE.

    Nipa Technology Co., stylized as NIPA Cloud, is a leading cloud service provider (CSP) in Thailand. Founded in 1996 by Dr. Abhisak Chulya, NIPA Cloud offers public and private cloud services based on the open-source software platform OpenStack. NIPA Cloud’s vision is to provide world-class service to local businesses at an affordable price. Already, it has had tremendous success: Krung Thai Bank (KTBCS), Thailand’s largest state-owned bank, operates three private cloud clusters built by NIPA Cloud.Glossary:《What is Cloud Computing?》《What is OpenStack?》Thailand’s cloud market is a proverbial gold mine. The research firm Gartner estimated that cloud spending in Thailand surpassed US$ 1 billion in 2022. The research firm IDC estimates that cloud spending makes up just 5% of Thailand’s total IT spending. The seemingly contradictory numbers belie enormous opportunity: a lot of Thai companies are migrating to the cloud for the first time, while many others are on the fence. The billion-dollar question is this: what will it take to convince them?Drawing on their years of experience, NIPA Cloud has identified three indicators that are evaluated by Thai companies when they consider cloud migration:1. Cost-efficiency: Switching to the cloud should provide more resources at a better cost.2. Availability: Services should always be available and reliable; after all, no one wants to see operations grind to a halt because of server issues.3. Security: It must be safe and legal to store sensitive data on the cloud. Tech support should be standing by to provide assistance if there is trouble.Some of the world’s biggest CSP brands, such as Amazon Web Service (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Microsoft Azure, are eyeing the growing Thai market. To maintain their position, NIPA Cloud launched “NIPA Enterprise Public Cloud” in September of 2021. This was a new cloud computing service for enterprise customers. It offered benefits beyond the scope of NIPA Cloud's Public Cloud service, such as multisite infrastructure support, improved security, fabric networking, unlimited bandwidth, and faster data transfer on 5G or IoT networks. The new service was made possible with server solutions from GIGABYTE.Glossary:《What is 5G?》《What is IoT?》     Competing with Titans in the Billion-Dollar CSP Market “Cloud is truly the foundation of digital transformation, and we believe we will be a cloud pioneer in the corporate world,” says Dr. Abhisak.NIPA Enterprise Public Cloud addressed the issue of security by adding a Network Access Control List within the instance, which provided greater control and flexibility. NIPA Cloud also offered 24/7 tech support, which can provide consultation about compliance with the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), should the client have questions.However, the issues of cost-efficiency and availability represented more of a hurdle. Somehow, NIPA Cloud must offer more computational resources to their customers while making everything cost less. What’s more, it needed to guarantee the availability of its services. These challenges are common problems faced by the world’s leading CSPs. Now, NIPA Cloud has joined their ranks.The solution was to pair the new cloud service with GIGABYTE servers. Three models from the R-Series of Rack Servers were selected: R282-Z90, a 2U 12-bay server; R182-Z90, a 1U 4-bay server; and R182-Z92, a 1U 10-bay NVMe server. All three models run on dual AMD EPYC™ 7002 series processors. They offer impeccable performance, availability, and power efficiency—just what NIPA Cloud needed to satisfy its customers.Learn More:《Glossary: What is NVMe?》《More information about GIGABYTE's Rack Server》《The EPYC Rise of AMD’s New Server Processor》Using these servers, NIPA Cloud built a new computing cluster and assigned roles to each model. The R282-Z90 is the controller node, used by administrators to manage the entire cluster. The R182-Z90 is the compute node, which processes data. The R182-Z92 is the storage node that stores data. Both the R282-Z90 and R182-Z90 run on AMD EPYC™ 7642 processors, while the R182-Z92 is powered by AMD EPYC™ 7402 processors.《Glossary: What is Computing Cluster?》GIGABYTE servers offer these two primary benefits:1. Incredible performance and faster data transfer speeds, made possible by the AMD EPYC™ processors and other key components.2. Smart management functions that guarantee availability and optimize power efficiency.     Incredible Performance and Faster Data Transfer with AMD Processors AMD EPYC™ processors lie at the heart of the powerful GIGABYTE servers. Launched in 2017, these processors utilize the same x86 architecture as Intel Xeon, but they offer a higher number of cores and threads per CPU. This makes them the natural choice for customers who want to get more computing power out of each processor. 《Glossary: What is Thread?》 GIGABYTE R282-Z90 servers form the controller node in NIPA Cloud’s computing cluster. Administrators use OpenStack controller management software to manage and support the cluster’s compute, storage, and networking nodes.   The R282-Z90 and R182-Z90 run on AMD EPYC™ 7642, which can house up to 48 cores and 96 threads in a single CPU; the maximum clock rate is 3.3GHz. The R182-Z92 runs on AMD EPYC™ 7402, which can house up to 24 cores and 48 threads in a single CPU, with the maximum clock rate being 3.35GHz. Empowered by high-performing processors, NIPA Cloud’s new cluster is able to run all its virtual machines (VM) on dedicated cores, without any of the cores being shared or overcommitted, so that a multitude of tasks can be completed simultaneously—a must for any CSP servicing a large number of customers.《Glossary: What is Virtual Machine?》What’s more, AMD EPYC™ processors support PCIe Gen 4.0, which boasts a maximum bandwidth of 64GB/s that is twice as fast as the previous generation. This doubles the bandwidth available from the CPU to other key components within the server, such as graphics cards, storage devices, or high-speed network cards. The EPYC™ processors feature eight-channel DDR4 memory lanes, which can support RDIMM or LRDIMM memory modules with a speed of up to 3200MHz, even at two DIMMs per channel. This feature is a unique solution developed by GIGABYTE. It gives customers a performance edge with more memory capacity at faster speeds than other products on the market.Glossary:《What is PCIe?》《What is DIMM?》 GIGABYTE R182-Z90 servers handle computing for NIPA Enterprise Public Cloud. Its AMD EPYC™ processors contain a high number of cores and threads, making it possible for NIPA Cloud to offer more computational resources and better performance at a competitive cost.   The upshot of all this is that clients using NIPA Enterprise Public Cloud can enjoy more computational resources than they’ve had before at a better cost, because they can rent more or less capacity depending on the situation, and they don’t have to worry about upkeep. NIPA Cloud also benefits from the AMD processors with a high number of cores in each CPU, since they can fulfill more requests with the same number of servers, which is very cost-efficient.     Smart Management Functions for Availability and Power Efficiency The second issue customers consider when migrating to the cloud is the question of availability. Access to cloud services cannot be interrupted; therefore, servers hosting the cloud must always be online, and they should conserve energy if possible, to protect the environment and help the operator reduce costs. To this end, GIGABYTE offers a variety of smart management functions in its servers:● Smart Crises Management and Protection (SCMP)Patented by GIGABYTE, SCMP is a feature included in servers without a fully redundant power supply unit (PSU) design. With SCMP, in the event of a faulty PSU or overheating, the system will force the CPU to go into an ultra-low power mode to reduce the power load, which protects the system from unexpected shutdowns and avoids component damage or data loss.● Smart Ride Through (SmaRT)To prevent downtime or data loss that may result from a power outage, GIGABYTE implemented SmaRT in all its servers. In the unfortunate event of a blackout, the system will manage its power consumption (known as throttling) while maintaining availability and reducing the power load. Capacitors within the PSU can provide power for ten to twenty milliseconds, which is ample time to transition to a backup power source, ensuring that services would not be disrupted.● Automatic Fan Speed ControlGIGABYTE servers are enabled with Automatic Fan Speed Control to achieve optimal cooling and power efficiency. Individual fan speeds will be automatically adjusted according to temperature sensors strategically placed inside the server.● Cold RedundancyTo take advantage of the fact that a PSU will run at greater power efficiency with a higher load, GIGABYTE has introduced a power management feature called Cold Redundancy for servers with N+1 redundancy. When the total system load falls lower than 40%, the system will automatically place one PSU in standby mode, resulting in a 10% improvement in power efficiency. GIGABYTE R182-Z92 servers make up the storage node of NIPA Enterprise Public Cloud. As with the majority of GIGABYTE servers, it is protected by a host of smart management functions, such as automatic fan speed control, Cold Redundancy, GSM, SCMP, and SmaRT, to prevent service interruption and data loss.   ● GIGABYTE Server Management (GSM)Other providers may charge for management software; however, GIGABYTE Server Management (GSM), a proprietary remote management console (RMC) for multiple servers, is free to download on the official GIGABYTE website. Fully compatible with either IPMI or Redfish (RESTful API) connection interfaces, GSM is comprised of various sub-programs that enable easy management of the entire cluster. NIPA Cloud administrators can monitor and manage the new cluster remotely, ensuring the availability of cloud services.     Building a Smarter, Better Tomorrow with Cloud Migration A member of the team knowledgeable about the selection process says that NIPA Cloud considered a number of brands, but ultimately chose GIGABYTE, “Because GIGABYTE is known for its good quality and competitive price, and its server products help NIPA Cloud provide better cloud computing services for customers.”Dr. Abhisak says, “NIPA Cloud is unique as a local brand because we can compete with global CSPs like AWS, GCP, and Microsoft Azure, not to mention emerging Chinese providers.” Buoyed by the new NIPA Enterprise Public Cloud and supported by GIGABYTE’s industry-leading server solutions, NIPA Cloud is confident of securing its foothold in the burgeoning Thai market. It also has plans to expand to other Southeast Asian countries, including Myanmar, Malaysia, and Singapore.GIGABYTE is happy to bolster NIPA Cloud’s ongoing effort to offer world-class cloud computing services to customers in the region. GIGABYTE’s motto is “Upgrade Your Life”. It is a tireless commitment to the proliferation of cutting-edge technology in our daily lives, so we can build a smarter and better tomorrow. Cloud migration will certainly advance this vision, as enterprises can create better value with ample computational resources, and workers can benefit from more innovative tools and services.

        What are the Attributes of an Ideal Edge Server in the 5G Era? At its core, an edge server is a solution designed to combine edge computing network architecture with 5th Generation mobile cellular networks, commonly known as 5G. 5G provides greater bandwidth and higher speeds of up to 10 Gbit/s—that is ten times faster than current 4G networks. Edge computing is a way to position computation as close to the end user as possible, further reducing latency and bandwidth consumption. The upshot is that mobile devices can now connect to data centers just as easily as if there were a physical cable between them.The implications are groundbreaking. Ultra-high-definition video streaming and cloud gaming are just the tip of the iceberg. Radical innovations such as autonomous vehicles may soon become a fact of life, all thanks to 5G communications and edge computing solutions.Learn More:《What is Data Center?》《How to Build Your Data Center with GIGABYTE?
