MSI Unveils Future-Proof Servers at 2025 OCP EMEA Summit
Berlin, Tuesday, 29 April 2025.
At the 2025 OCP EMEA Summit, MSI showcased new ORv3-compliant servers, highlighting outstanding compute density, efficiency, and scalability for modern data centers, powered by AMD EPYC™ 9005 processors.
Next-Generation Server Architecture
MSI’s latest server platforms, unveiled at the OCP EMEA Summit on April 29-30, 2025, showcase significant advances in data center technology. The platforms are built on the OCP-recognized DC-MHS architecture and feature AMD EPYC™ 9005 Series processors [1][2]. A standout offering is the Open Compute CD281-S4051-X2, a 21-inch ORv3-compliant 2OU 2-node server that supports an impressive 500W TDP, incorporating 12 DDR5 DIMM slots and 12 PCIe 5.0 E3.S NVMe bays [1].
High-Density Computing Solutions
The Core Compute CD270-S4051-X4 represents MSI’s commitment to density optimization, featuring a 2U 4-node configuration. Each node is equipped with a single AMD EPYC 9005 Series processor and supports three PCIe 5.0 x4 U.2 NVMe bays [3]. The platform’s innovative design includes EVAC cooling support for up to 400W per node, along with integrated OCP NICs that enhance both thermal efficiency and connectivity options [2].
Advanced AI and Cloud Infrastructure
Building on their March 2025 CloudFest showcase, MSI has integrated their server solutions with advanced AI capabilities. The CG480-S5063, a 4U AI server, demonstrates this evolution with support for up to 8 FHFL dual-width GPUs and 32 DDR5 DIMM slots, specifically designed for high-performance AI and HPC workloads [3]. The platform architecture emphasizes high memory bandwidth and storage performance, crucial elements for modern data-intensive applications [3].
Enterprise Scalability and Standards Compliance
As an official OCP Solution Provider, MSI has achieved ‘OCP Inspired’ certification for multiple server platforms [2]. Danny Hsu, General Manager of Enterprise Platform Solutions, emphasizes the company’s dedication to open standards and datacenter-focused design, stating their commitment to “advancing open standards, datacenter-focused design, and modular server architecture” [1]. This standardization approach enables rapid scalability and customization capabilities, positioning MSI as a key player in next-generation infrastructure development [1].
