Partners and the Brands We Build With
eRacks uses, deploys, and endorses products from these partners. Every hardware brand here is bought new through authorized US distribution (how we source); every software project here is open source or open-source-first.
Intel
Processors, network silicon, and the Arc GPU line.
At eRacks: Intel Xeon (including the current Xeon 6 generation) powers much of our server and NAS catalog, Intel Arc Pro GPUs anchor the value tiers of our AI line, and Intel network controllers are our 10GbE workhorse. www.intel.com
AMD
EPYC server processors, Ryzen and Threadripper workstation CPUs.
At eRacks: AMD EPYC drives our flagship AI systems and storage servers; Ryzen and Threadripper power our workstations and entry NAS lines. www.amd.com
Supermicro
Server motherboards, chassis, and barebones platforms.
At eRacks: The backbone of many eRacks builds for two decades: we qualify and certify Supermicro boards and platforms before they go into our systems. www.supermicro.com
ASUS
Server and workstation motherboards and GPU-server platforms.
At eRacks: ASUS server boards and validated GPU platforms (like the ESC8000A series behind our AI flagship) are a mainstay of our certified-board program. www.asus.com
