Description
The United States Department of the Interior, Interior Business Center, is seeking a computational infrastructure solution that includes a GPU server node. The preferred configuration should include 128-192 total physical CPU cores, high memory bandwidth, and PCIe Gen5 support to maximize GPU performance and data throughput. The system should also include 1 TB ECC DDR5 RAM, expandable to 2 TB or greater, and a tiered enterprise storage solution with 100 TB usable capacity at deployment. The solution should support concurrent execution of AI/ML workflows, large imaging datasets, virtualization, database services, laboratory information management systems, and multimodal data integration.
• The preferred CPU architecture is an enterprise-class dual-socket server utilizing the latest available generation of Intel Xeon or AMD EPYC processors.
• The preferred storage architecture is a tiered enterprise storage solution consisting of enterprise NVMe SSDs for primary storage and high-capacity enterprise SSD or SAS storage for secondary storage.
• The system should provide dual redundant 100 Gb Ethernet interfaces for high-performance data movement and additional 25 Gb and 10 Gb Ethernet interfaces for laboratory instrument connectivity.
• Support for NVIDIA AI Enterprise (NVAIE) or equivalent enterprise AI software is preferred.
