Price range: 9100,00 € through 9150,00 € (ex. VAT)

Overview

The Enterprise Gigabyte MZ33-AR1 with Dasharo Pro Package for Servers is a validated 2U server platform for organizations that need a reliable AMD EPYC-based foundation with open-source firmware support. Built around the GIGABYTE MZ33-AR1 server motherboard, it combines a single-socket AMD EPYC 9005/9004 platform with DDR5 ECC memory, PCIe Gen5 expansion, NVMe storage support, dual 10GbE networking, TPM 2.0, and remote platform management.

This configuration is assembled from components validated with Dasharo, including a Supermicro 2U chassis, hot-swap NVMe storage, server-class cooling and power delivery, and the GIGABYTE CTM012 TPM module. It is intended for customers who need a serviceable and supportable server system rather than a generic off-the-shelf build.

The platform is well suited for virtualization, private cloud infrastructure, secure build environments, CI/CD systems, storage nodes, network services, and firmware development or validation labs where platform transparency and long-term maintainability are important.

The system is delivered with the Dasharo Pro Package for Servers, providing access to Dasharo open-source firmware updates and professional support. Available firmware configurations include coreboot+UEFI and coreboot+LinuxBoot, allowing the customer to choose the boot stack that best matches their deployment model.
