Softline Expands Server Lineup for Data Centers and Enterprise Customers

From virtualization to AI workloads, a new server from Softline Group is designed to meet demand for compact, high-performance computing systems.

Inferit Tekhnika, a computer and server hardware manufacturer within Softline Group’s SF Tekh cluster, has introduced a new server platform called INFERIT UR1X2G4V1-D10. The system is part of the company’s broader push to replace foreign IT products with domestically developed alternatives. Built in a compact 1U form factor, the server targets customers that need maximum compute density inside crowded rack environments.

The platform is based on Intel’s C741 chipset and supports up to two 4th- and 5th-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors. The chips, built on the Sapphire Rapids and Emerald Rapids microarchitectures, use an energy-efficient 10 nm manufacturing process and include dedicated hardware accelerators for vector and matrix operations, capabilities that are increasingly important for modern AI workloads.

Inferit Tekhnika’s in-house motherboard design includes 32 RDIMM slots and supports configurations with up to 8 TB of DDR5 memory running at speeds of up to 5600 MHz.

Engineers also focused heavily on fault tolerance and serviceability. The system is designed to minimize downtime: cooling fans, storage drives and 1300 W power supplies with 80 Plus Platinum certification are fully redundant and support hot-swapping without shutting the server down. In practice, that allows maintenance work to be performed with minimal disruption to operations.

The model also offers broad scaling potential. The chassis integrates 10 bays for SAS, SATA and NVMe SSDs, while PCIe 5.0 interfaces and support for two OCP 3.0 network adapters provide room for expansion. That flexibility allows companies to increase computing capacity without expanding rack space inside the data center.

A Russian Alternative for Independent IT Infrastructure

The new model expands a server lineup that Inferit Tekhnika first introduced in October 2025. The flagship UR2X2G4V1-D24 model was designed for processor-intensive computing, virtualization and cloud infrastructure. It supports up to 128 cores, 8 TB of DDR5 memory, dual 1.3 kW power supplies and 24 storage drives.

Another model, the GR2X2G4V1-D24, adds support for up to two GPUs and dual 2 kW power supplies. That configuration is aimed at AI training, 3D rendering and scientific computing while maintaining the same core processing capabilities.

For customers looking to save rack space, the company also offers 2U systems. The UR2X2G4V1-D12 retains support for up to 128 cores and 256 threads, 8 TB of memory and 1.3 kW power supplies, while reducing storage capacity to 12 drive bays. Its GPU-focused counterpart, the GR2X2G4V1-D24, also operates in a 2U form factor and supports up to two graphics accelerators along with dual 2 kW power supplies. The system is positioned as a platform for large language models, visualization workloads and advanced simulation tasks.

All servers in the lineup use 4th- and 5th-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors built for the LGA 4677 socket and manufactured on a 10 nm process node. The chips support PCIe 5.0 and DDR5 memory standards and include integrated AI accelerators, making the systems suitable for enterprise deployments, scientific computing and industrial applications.

With the INFERIT UR1X2G4V1-D10, the company is strengthening its position in the Russian server market by offering customers a locally available alternative for building technologically independent IT infrastructure.

Import Substitution With an Eye on Export Markets

Softline Group’s hardware business is primarily focused on the domestic market as part of Russia’s import-substitution strategy. INFERIT servers are included in the registry maintained by Russia’s Ministry of Industry and Trade, giving them priority status in government procurement projects and at facilities classified as critical information infrastructure.

Over the medium term, the company could also expand shipments to what Russia describes as “friendly” countries through Softline’s international partner network. The group already operates in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, the UAE and Vietnam, creating potential export and logistics channels. Countries within the Eurasian Economic Union are viewed as especially promising because of simplified certification procedures.

Nevertheless, expansion into foreign markets will require the hardware to comply with local regulatory standards. For now, the company remains focused primarily on infrastructure hardware. A cooperation agreement signed with SimpleOne in May 2026 covers software products and cloud services rather than physical server systems.

Next-Generation Infrastructure

Russia’s combined server and data storage market reached 280 billion rubles in 2025, or roughly $3.6 billion, up from 155 billion rubles, or about $2 billion, a year earlier. Russian companies alone spent more than 60 billion rubles, approximately $770 million, on AI-focused servers.

The market is still in the early stages of rapid expansion. Over the past two years, AI has shifted from being an add-on layer within IT infrastructure to a force reshaping the architecture of computing systems themselves. A new infrastructure segment is beginning to emerge as major customers move beyond pilot projects and start integrating machine learning and large language models directly into business operations and product strategies. Softline Group’s server portfolio is designed to address that shift while giving businesses and government organizations a domestically supported infrastructure option.

The new INFERIT UR1X2G4V1-D10 is a logical extension of our product lineup and part of our strategy to build a comprehensive offering for every category of customer. Our lineup covers deployment scenarios ranging from entry-level systems to high-end platforms. This server was developed specifically for Russian customers that need a modern, powerful and compact platform for high-load computing tasks. It is a reliable and energy-efficient solution that allows companies to scale infrastructure flexibly without depending on imported hardware, and our lineup now includes an optimized option even for smaller data centers with densely packed racks
