The motherboard was created in line with the requirements of Project Olympus - an open source, hyperscale data center product family originally envisioned by Microsoft to support public cloud services like Azure.
“Cavium is pleased to collaborate with Microsoft on contributing world’s first dual socket ARM server mother board design to the Open Compute Project,” said Gopal Hegde, VP and GM of Data Center Processor Group at Cavium.
“ThunderX2 delivers best-in-class compute, memory and IO performance to most demanding data center workloads and this contribution will enable interested server OEMs and ODMs to quickly design and proliferate ThunderX2 based Project Olympus platforms.”
The announcement was timed to coincide with the DCD Zettastructure conference in London, where the motherboard was demonstrated to data center operators.
