Treton System modular Server

Treton System has just announced their modular blade server system called MBS2000. The chassis is a 2U unit with a pair of redundant 1U power supplies and supports up to 4 nodes, where each node is a computer in itself, that contains a motherboard, cpu socket, and ram slots. There are 2 versions of these nodes, for both single socket and dual socket setups. The single socket version runs on socket 1151, for Intel Xeon E3 Skylake and Kaby Lake as well as Core i3. 4x DIMM slots, up to 64GB ECC DDR4 2133MHz, and 2 physical x16 slots for full height PCIe cards. The other node is a dual socket configuration for Intel Xeon Gold 61xx processors, many will recognized it by its code name. Skylake-EP and Skylake-SP. The rumor for this socket is, it could be socket 3467, which is the same as what Intel is currently using for the Xeon Phi. This node has 8x DIMM slots up to 256GB of ECC DDR4 2666MHz. Both types of nodes has 4x USB 3 ports, VGA, serial, gigabit lan where one is for dedicated management.

Interesting concept, but I would worry about future upgradability with the hardware...  Sure, it'll have up to date hardware as of this year, but are you going to have to get a completely new case in 5 to 10 years or will you be able to change out some of the internals?

5-10 years?  Most businesses retire servers after they get that old anyway.  I think the purpose of these is so you can start small and scale up easier.  Or repurpose a server without needing a full replacement.

The node is the hardware, while the 2U chassis is most likely just a enclosure. So if they made new hardware for it, then I'm sure you can just change it, without the need to change a new case.

I'm confused - how is this different from any other 2U 2 or 4 node chassis/blade systems? Supermicro, Dell, all the big server manufacturers, have had these for years. The only thing that looks new in this is that you can choose in a given half of the 2U chassis whether you want 2x 1U nodes, or 1x 2U node. Is that what is supposed to be impressive about this?

Looking to buy GTX690, other multi-GPU cards, or single-slot graphics cards:

The only impressive thing is the support for Xeon Gold cpus.

I dont really see the point in this. It's too proprietary to be used in most situations. 

^^^ Lol, cool concept and whats the point?
