About the HPE Cray XD680 GPU Server

AI/ML training and large-scale inference workloads demand GPU-dense architectures that deliver sustained throughput without thermal compromise. The HPE Cray XD680 GPU Server (part number R9G80A) addresses this requirement with direct liquid cooling and support for up to 8 double-width GPUs in a compact 4U form factor, making it the platform of choice for AI infrastructure teams deploying next-generation training clusters and inference farms.

Built on the HPE Cray XD Series, this 4U rack server combines dual Intel Xeon Scalable processors with PCIe Gen 5 connectivity, up to 32 DDR5 RDIMM/LRDIMM slots, and internal NVMe SSD support to create a balanced, high-performance compute node. Direct Liquid Cooling ensures thermal efficiency across dense GPU deployments, while HPE iLO management and Redundant high-efficiency power supplies provide the reliability and observability enterprise data centers require. The platform integrates seamlessly into HPE Slingshot high-speed interconnect fabrics and supports Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, and Ubuntu operating systems, enabling flexible deployment across heterogeneous HPC and AI environments.

Typical Workloads & Deployment Scenarios

  • Large-scale AI/ML model training with multi-GPU parallelism and high-bandwidth GPU communication
  • HPC simulation and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) requiring sustained GPU compute and low-latency interconnect
  • Inference serving platforms that consolidate multiple model instances across high-density GPU clusters
  • Research computing environments combining deep learning frameworks with traditional HPC simulation codes
  • Data center consolidation projects migrating legacy GPU clusters to next-generation PCIe Gen 5 and DDR5 architectures

Frequently Asked Questions about HPE Cray XD680 GPU Server

What server platforms accept the HPE Cray XD680 GPU Server?

Reference servers include Dell PowerEdge XE9680 / XE9712, HPE Cray XD670, Lenovo ThinkSystem SR685a / SR675 V3, Supermicro AS-A21GE / SYS-821GE, Gigabyte G593 / G894, ASUS ESC. Share your target platform in the RFQ and we will confirm chassis-to-GPU compatibility and recommended NIC pairing.

How long is the lead time on AI GPUs?

Highly model-dependent. L40S / RTX-class: typically 3-6 weeks. H100/H200/B200 in SXM form factor: 12-16 weeks for whole-platform allocations. We quote genuine-channel ETAs only — no grey-market promises.

Do you supply matched networking (Quantum InfiniBand / Spectrum-X)?

Yes — Omnixon stocks the full NVIDIA networking lineup (Quantum-2 / Quantum-X InfiniBand, Spectrum-X Ethernet, ConnectX NICs, BlueField DPUs) so we can quote a complete training-cluster BOM, not just the GPUs.

Can you help with NVIDIA AI Enterprise licensing?

Yes. We hold genuine-channels for NVIDIA AI Enterprise software subscriptions. Add it to your RFQ and we quote node-aligned licensing along with the hardware.
