Kaytus KR2280 V3
Dual Intel Xeon 6, CXL memory expansion and up to 24 NVMe bays — the flagship that runs virtualisation, AI and databases on one platform.
From £1,778 ex. VAT — final price depends on configuration. Built to order, typical 4-week lead time confirmed on your quotation.
The one server that refuses to specialise.
Most racks end up with three kinds of server: one for virtualisation, one for storage, one for acceleration. The KR2280 V3 is KAYTUS's answer to buying one platform instead. Dual Intel Xeon 6 — up to 144 efficiency cores or 96 performance cores per socket — with DDR5-6400, CXL memory expansion and PCIe 5.0 throughout. Choose the 12× 3.5" chassis for capacity or the 24-bay all-NVMe chassis for throughput, add up to four dual-width GPUs at quotation, and cool it by air or cold plate. One platform, every workload, one spare-parts shelf.

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.

The V3 moves to Intel Xeon 6 with DDR5-6400, PCIe 5.0 throughout, CXL memory expansion and an optional 24-bay all-NVMe chassis — roughly a generation's jump in memory bandwidth and I/O over the V2 platform.
The 12× 3.5" chassis with 4× U.2 backplane suits capacity-plus-cache builds; the 24× 2.5" all-NVMe chassis is for throughput-first workloads like databases and AI data pipelines. It's a single selection in the configurator (+£288) and we'll sanity-check it on your quotation.
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.
