At NVIDIA GTC 2026, we stopped by the MiTAC booth and saw something we were not expecting. Two servers designed with next-generation server CPUs in mind, as well as a bunch of Solidigm SSDs. If you prefer a short video, we have one here:
Let us get to it.
MiTAC’s Next-Gen G-Server with NVIDIA GPUs, ConnectX-8 Networking, AMD EPYC “Venice”, and Solidigm D7-PS1010 SSDs
The first server we saw was designed to house the NVIDIA RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs along with the new RTX Pro 4500 Blackwell Server Edition.
Here you can see the eight dual-width slot GPU faceplates with an extra slot for an NVIDIA BlueField DPU.
Networking below the GPU area is provided by the NVIDIA ConnectX-8 PCIe switch board, which houses four NVIDIA ConnectX-8 controllers and provides a total of eight 400GbE ports. You can actually see the heatsinks for the optics below the ports because the GPUs are on the top of the board, and the NICs are mounted on the bottom.
Also, below those NICs there is a management I/O block with the management NIC, USB Type-A port, mini DisplayPort, and service port.
Something…
