Introducing our latest 1U and 2U systems to enhance the Puget Server range. Whether your priority is CPU compute, GPU power, or fast storage, we have the right solution for you!
Overview
In 2025, we expanded our server lineup, exploring MSI Enterprise Platform Solutions barebones systems for the first time. Collaborating closely with MSI has allowed us to broaden our offerings to meet a wider range of customer requirements. This initial expansion phase introduces 11 new servers while keeping select high-performing existing models.
The newly announced servers support two M.2 drives for OS needs and between 4 to 24 U.2 SSDs for storage. Highlights of the MSI barebones include:
- Shared motherboards, chassis, and power supplies among certain models
- A unified visual design across most models
- OCP 3.0 network card slots on nearly all models
Our partnership with MSI enhances collaboration of engineering and support teams with technical resources, while our supply chain ensures consistent availability and short lead times for these systems. We anticipate these improvements benefiting our manufacturing process and customers.
1U CPU Servers
We are launching four 1U models focused on CPU compute, each featuring 12 front NVMe storage bays. Available in single- or dual-CPU setups, they support AMD EPYC™ 9005 and Intel® Xeon® 6. These updates will replace some older systems and be complemented by an EPYC™ 4005 server introduced last year. Our 1U servers are ideal for CPU-based rendering, web, and database tasks.
2U CPU Servers
In the 2U category, options broaden further. We introduce single- and dual-CPU models for Intel and AMD with up to double the front bay capacity compared to 1U, especially optimal for storage servers or systems allowing easy drive expansion over time.
2U GPU Servers
The 2U chassis’s added space and cooling facilitate high-performance GPUs. We retain AMD EPYC-based options: a popular 2U quad-GPU server from ASUS and an MSI dual-GPU model from last year. Joining them will be three Intel-based servers, offering various combinations of Xeon CPUs and GPUs, including two GPUs with dual CPUs or four GPUs with a single CPU.
Initially, most systems will handle 300W accelerators, except for the quad-GPU Xeon model supporting four 600W NVIDIA RTX PRO™ 6000 Blackwell cards. MSI plans to release higher-power dual-GPU options in 2026, prompting a minor model refresh. GPU-optimized servers excel in rendering farms, accelerated computations, and AI tasks.
