Summary

2U Hyper with 8 hot-swap 2.5" NVMe/SAS/SATA bays and 4 PCIe 5.0 x16 slots + up to 2 PCIe 5.0 x16 AIOM slots 

Overview

The Supermicro SYS-221H-TNR is a high-performance 2U rackmount server designed for next-generation data center workloads and enterprise applications. Powered by dual 4th or 5th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors (LGA-4677), this Hyper series SuperServer delivers exceptional compute density and scalability. With support for up to 32 DDR5 DIMM slots (providing up to 8TB of ECC memory), it provides massive memory capacity and bandwidth to handle intensive tasks like virtualization, in-memory databases, and large-scale analytics.

Built to excel in demanding environments, the SYS-221H-TNR offers extensive expansion capabilities. It features next-gen PCIe 5.0 slots configurable as either 8 x8 lanes or 4 x16 lanes, accommodating high-speed networking cards and up to four double-width GPU accelerators for AI inference, machine learning, or HPC workloads. The server also includes up to two AIOM (Advanced I/O Module) slots (OCP NIC 3.0 compatible) for flexible networking options, enabling integration of ultra-fast network adapters such as 25GbE, 100GbE, or InfiniBand for cloud and cluster deployments. This level of expandability ensures the platform can be tailored to a wide range of use cases, from virtualization clusters to AI training nodes.

For storage, the Supermicro SYS-221H-TNR provides a highly versatile architecture. It comes with 8 hot-swap 2.5-inch drive bays supporting NVMe, SAS, or SATA drives, with an option to expand to 16 drive bays total for maximum storage density. This hybrid storage backplane design means you can mix ultra-fast NVMe SSDs and high-capacity HDDs to balance performance and cost for software-defined storage solutions. Dual internal M.2 slots (NVMe/SATA) allow for dedicated boot drives or cache drives, keeping the hot-swap bays free for main data storage. With built-in RAID support (via optional add-on card) and compatibility with Intel VROC for NVMe RAID, the system protects data while delivering blazing-fast throughput.

Enterprise reliability and manageability are fundamental to the SYS-221H-TNR design. The chassis is cooled by four heavy-duty hot-swap fans with intelligent speed control, maintaining optimal temperatures even under full load. Redundant Titanium-level (96% efficiency) 1200W power supplies provide high availability and energy efficiency, ensuring uninterrupted operation for critical services. The server supports comprehensive remote management features (IPMI 2.0, Redfish) and Supermicro’s software suite (Supermicro Server Manager, SuperDoctor, etc.) for easy deployment and monitoring of hardware health. Security is also built-in with features like TPM 2.0 and Silicon Root of Trust, guarding against firmware attacks and unauthorized access.

Engineered for versatility, the Supermicro SYS-221H-TNR shines in a variety of scenarios. It’s an ideal platform for virtualization hosts, hyper-converged infrastructure, and private cloud deployments, where its CPU core count and memory capacity can consolidate numerous virtual machines. It also excels in AI inference and machine learning tasks by supporting top-end NVIDIA GPUs (including the latest H100 and A100 models), delivering the compute acceleration needed for data science and AI workloads. With its mix of high-speed storage and networking options, this server is equally at home powering software-defined storage clusters, databases, or serving as a general-purpose enterprise server in any modern IT environment. With its robust feature set and enterprise-class design, the SYS-221H-TNR is an excellent choice for organizations in Australia and New Zealand looking to future-proof their data center infrastructure.
