The Multipurpose Board for Professionals
Designed as an ultra-flexible ATX solution, this model is suitable for both tower and rack integration and fits in most of the professional applications scenarios thanks to its versatile connectivity and expansion platform. Server, workstation, industrial PC, high performance embedded system, this motherboard will be up to the task and deliver both performance and durability through its DIMM placement optimized for better thermal properties and robust build with the selection of high reliability components.
Intel® Xeon® Processor E3-1200 V3 Product Family
Still based on the 22nm tri-gate lithography, this new generation of Xeon processors is built on Intel's latest microarchitecture and brings up to 15% computing power improvements and increased L3 cache across the line.
In addition, this new generation will also bring to the Xeon E3 family the support of 1600MHz ECC memory, Intel Trusted Execution and Virtualization technologies, as well as AVX 2.0 and TSX instructions.
Last but not least, the Xeon E3-1200 V3 processors will include the latest Intel integrated graphics, which will bring the support of OGL3.2+, DirectX 11.1, and higher frequencies.
New Generation Quad LAN Controller
The new generation LAN controller built on those two motherboards feature several improvements over the previous generation that has been a long-time standard in the server market.
In addition to overall performance and error correcting improvements, the power consumption has been reduced thanks to the on-chip integration of switching voltage regulators improving the efficiency of the power delivery to the controller.
This new controller also received new audio/video bridging features, notably time-stamping and synchronization of time sensitive applications through traffic shaping, time-based transmission, and precision time-stamping.
Two new management functions are also included, with the support of common transport for LAN-to-BMC / local OS-to-BMC and standards-based transport for BMC-to-adapter communication.
Support of PCIe Generation 3.0
With the support of the latest PCI Express Gen.3.0 technology directly on the CPU, the GA-6LXSV is fully configured to provide users with dramatically reduced latency and improved data bandwidth to get the most out of its expansion accessories.
VMware Ready
The VMware Ready program allows customers to quickly identify products and solutions from VMware's partners, which are optimized for VMware vSphere.
The VMware Ready logo certifies that this product addresses VMware's specific criteria in terms of integration and compatibility, and that it is ready to execute mission-critical applications and operations.
Red Hat Certified Hardware
GIGABYTE certifies its server hardware with Red Hat Enterprise Linux to provide its customers with the confidence of knowing that their hardware systems are supported by Red Hat when they run Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
