Kaytus KR2280 V2
Dual 5th Gen Intel Xeon with support for up to 8 GPUs in 2U — proven, GPU-ready compute at previous-generation value.
From £2,597 ex. VAT — final price depends on configuration. Built to order, typical 4-week lead time confirmed on your quotation.
Purpose-built for training and inference at scale.
The KR2280 V2 pairs dual 5th Gen Intel Xeon processors with support for up to eight GPUs in a 2U chassis — the density to run serious training jobs and high-throughput inference without spreading workloads across multiple nodes. Air-cooled and cold-plate liquid-cooled configurations run on the same platform, so it drops into a standard rack today and a high-density liquid-cooled row tomorrow. And because it's the proven previous-generation platform, you get current-class capability at a from-price the new flagships can't touch.

Who is KAYTUS?
KAYTUS is a global provider of IT infrastructure — open, energy-efficient server platforms for cloud, AI and edge, backed by three factories, two R&D centres and operations across more than 70 countries. The name comes from K2, the mountain climbers rate the hardest on earth — a fair summary of the engineering standard these machines are built to. Bytehaus is KAYTUS's UK Gold Partner: every server is configured, quoted and supported locally.

GPU configuration is validated per build — our team confirms supported combinations for your specific mix during quotation, including power and thermal headroom for your rack.
No — air-cooled configurations support high GPU density in standard racks. Cold-plate liquid cooling is there for the highest sustained loads and denser rack power budgets; we'll recommend the right option for your environment.
Every KAYTUS server is built to order against your exact configuration. Typical lead time is four weeks from order, confirmed on your formal quotation — and we'll flag anything that affects it before you commit.
Every server includes a manufacturer-backed 3-year warranty and UK-based technical support from Bytehaus, covering pre-sales sizing through to post-deployment. Extended cover is available on request.
