Tyan B8056T70V8E6HR 2U Server, AMD EPYC 9004 Series - 4th Gen

Overview

The Tyan B8056T70V8E6HR is a 2U rack server platform built around AMD's 4th-generation EPYC 9004 series processors — a compute tier that shows up behind the scenes on any deployment where a rack of IP cameras needs somewhere to land: VMS hosts, recording clusters, and analytics servers that outgrow an appliance-class NVR. At 67 lb and a 37 x 23 x 13 in (L x W x H) footprint, it occupies a standard 2U slot but is deep and heavy enough that rack planning matters before it ships. The B8056T70V8E6HR is manufactured in Taiwan, and it's the kind of platform an integrator specs once and stands behind for a multi-year video retention contract.

Key Features

• AMD EPYC 9004 Series (4th Gen) platform support: Current-generation EPYC silicon gives you the core count and memory bandwidth headroom to run VMS software, deep-learning analytics, and database workloads on the same chassis instead of splitting them across boxes — fewer racks, fewer network hops, fewer points of failure in a video retention architecture.
• 2U rack form factor: Standard 2U height means it drops into existing colocation or server-room racks without custom rail kits or non-standard spacing — a straightforward line item next to your network video recorders and switching gear.
• 67 lb chassis weight: Confirm rail and rack weight ratings before mounting — this is meaningfully heavier than a typical 2U appliance NVR, and it matters when you're stacking multiple units in a single rack.
• 37 x 23 x 13 in chassis dimensions: The 23 in width and 37 in depth push past some shallow server cabinets — measure your rack's usable depth before ordering, especially in edge closets retrofitted for surveillance infrastructure rather than built as data centers.
• Taiwan (TW) country of origin: Manufactured in Taiwan, a fact worth flagging for buyers running government or NDAA-adjacent procurement checklists — verify current compliance documentation against your specific contract requirements before committing this SKU to a federal or state bid.

Integration & Compatibility

A general-purpose EPYC 9004 server like the B8056T70V8E6HR is platform infrastructure — it's what you put a VMS, a storage array controller, or an analytics engine on top of, not a purpose-built recorder with a fixed channel count baked in. That flexibility is the tradeoff: you're provisioning storage, redundancy, and software stack yourself rather than buying a turnkey appliance. For surveillance-specific deployments, pair sizing decisions here with a VMS architecture guide to right-size compute against camera count, resolution, and retention days before finalizing the build-out. If your project scope is closer to a fixed-channel recording appliance instead of an open compute platform, it's worth comparing against dedicated NVR hardware from the Tyan server lineup or an appliance-class alternative before committing rack space to the B8056T70V8E6HR.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What processors does the Tyan B8056T70V8E6HR support?

A: The B8056T70V8E6HR is built for AMD EPYC 9004 series (4th generation) processors.

Q: What rack size does the B8056T70V8E6HR require?

A: It's a 2U rack-mount chassis measuring 37 x 23 x 13 inches (L x W x H) and weighing 67 lb — confirm rail depth and weight rating before installation.

Q: Where is the B8056T70V8E6HR manufactured?

A: The country of origin listed for this platform is Taiwan (TW).

Q: Is the B8056T70V8E6HR a good fit for running VMS software for a camera deployment?

A: Yes — EPYC 9004-class 2U servers like the B8056T70V8E6HR are commonly deployed as VMS hosts and recording servers, but you'll need to size storage, memory, and redundancy separately since this is a compute platform rather than a fixed-configuration NVR appliance.

Jerry Tildsen

The B8056T70V8E6HR crosses my desk whenever a project outgrows appliance-class recording hardware. This is a 2U chassis built around AMD's EPYC 9004 series — 4th generation — which is the compute tier I point integrators toward when they're consolidating VMS, storage management, and analytics onto fewer boxes instead of racking a separate appliance for each function.

Technical Highlights:

• AMD EPYC 9004 (4th Gen) platform: gives you the core density and memory bandwidth to run a VMS instance alongside analytics workloads on shared compute — fewer standalone appliances in the rack.
• 2U form factor, 67 lb: standard rack height, but confirm your rail kit's weight rating before stacking multiple units — this runs heavier than typical appliance NVR hardware.
• 37 x 23 x 13 in chassis: the 23 in width and 37 in depth need to be checked against your cabinet's usable interior before you commit rack space, particularly in retrofitted network closets.

Deployment Considerations:

• This ships as an open compute platform, not a turnkey NVR — plan CPU, memory, storage, and VMS licensing as separate line items in your quote.
• Country of origin is Taiwan (TW); if you're working a government or NDAA-flagged bid, get current compliance paperwork in hand before you spec this SKU into the proposal.

I'd spec the B8056T70V8E6HR for a mid-to-large surveillance build where the customer has outgrown a fixed-channel NVR and needs a real VMS server — think a multi-building campus consolidating 200+ camera streams onto centralized compute rather than distributed recorders at each site.
