ACTserv Systems Now featuring Supermicro Introduces Broad Portfolio of Single-Socket Servers with Intel Xeon 6
Posted on April 22, 2025
Advanced Clustering’s ACTserv systems are now featuring the new single-socket servers from Super Micro Computer, Inc. These single-socket servers are capable of supporting applications that required dual-socket servers for a range of data center workloads. By leveraging a single-socket architecture, enterprises and data center operators can reduce initial acquisition costs, ongoing operational costs such as power and cooling, and reduce the physical footprint of server racks compared to previous generations of systems based on older processors.
Supermicro’s single-socket server systems can be configured to handle a variety of workloads, including EDA, FSI, cloud computing, storage, content delivery, virtualization, AI, networking, and edge computing.
Customers can expect significant benefits when deploying single-processor servers to run their applications. For many cloud and storage-centric workloads, performance that previously required two CPUs per system can be achieved or even exceeded with a single processor. By deploying single-socket servers, customers can realize cost savings not only on the initial acquisition of the servers, but also due to reduced power consumption, lower thermal load reducing cooling requirements, and the need for less physical space to house the data center infrastructure.
Deploying a single-socket architecture has several key advantages over multi-processor systems, including, the absence of the CPU-CPU interconnect, which frees up more of the processor’s I/O capacity for PCIe expansion and avoids latency issues related to Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA).
The enhanced PCIe lane availability compared to previous generations means more and faster networking, storage, and acceleration devices can be added to each system, increasing overall system compute capacity and rack density.
