TAIPEI, Taiwan, June 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — COMPUTEX — Super
Micro Computer, Inc. (Nasdaq: SMCI), a leader in application-optimized,
high performance server and workstation solutions, is showcasing its
earth-friendly servers, including the industry’s greenest blade solutions,
at Computex 2008 in Taipei (booths M619-M726). In addition to four
different live demos of award-winning SuperBlade(TM) systems, Supermicro is
highlighting its award-winning 1U Twin(TM) servers, 2.5-inch SAS/SATA and
UIO solutions based on the Intel(R) 5100 (San Clemente) and 5400 (Seaburg)
chipsets. A preview of future Supermicro server technology solutions will
also be on display.
“With unprecedented performance-per-watt (290 GFLOPS/kW*), which is 6
to 30% better than any other solution available in the world, and superior
power efficiency (93%*), our SuperBlade(TM) won the Best Green Data Center
Solution award at BladeSystems Insight 2008,” said Charles Liang, CEO and
president of Supermicro. “Furthermore, because our SuperBlade(TM) is easy
to deploy, easy to use, and offers the best price-to-performance and profit
potential available, CRN recently ranked our SuperBlade(TM) number one in
its latest blade product review. At Computex, we are showing four
SuperBlade(TM) demos along with our award-winning family of 1U Twin(TM)
servers, 2.5-inch SAS/SATA solutions, and our flexible UIO servers. As the
chair of the Climate Savers Computing Initiative (CSCI) APAC region,
Supermicro is strongly committed to the CSCI mission to reduce worldwide
computer power consumption 50%, for up to $5.4 billion in energy-savings,
by 2010.”
Supermicro offers an extensive selection of application-optimized
SuperBlade(TM) configurations. For instance, the quiet (50dB)
OfficeBlade(TM) is ideal for office environments. The DatacenterBlade(TM)
packs 14 highly energy-efficient blades into one 7U enclosure with
industry-leading performance/watt (290 GFLOPS/kW), making it perfect for
datacenter and HPC applications. Supermicro’s enterprise-class
SuperBlade(TM) features both dual and quad-processor blades for
performance, scalability and flexibility. For maximum computational
performance and density, SuperBlade(TM) supports up to 10 four-socket
server blades (160 CPU cores) in one 7U enclosure. Supermicro also offers
storage-optimized SuperBlade(TM) configurations with up to 10 two-socket
server blades and 60 hot-plug SAS/SATA hard disk drives in a single 7U
enclosure.
Considered the best 1U data center solution, Supermicro’s award-winning
1U Twin(TM) SuperServers feature two DP server nodes in a single chassis
and a high-efficiency power supply (90%+*). This 0.5U density (84 server
nodes in a standard 42U rack) makes these platforms an excellent choice for
high-performance computing (HPC) clusters, server farms and other data
centers where space, cost, energy-efficiency and density are high
priorities.
For enterprise and energy-conscious customers that recognize the
cost-saving and performance advantages of migrating to 2.5″ hard drives,
Supermicro offers high-end 1U and 2U SuperServers optimized for 2.5″ SAS
hard disk drives. The high-density SuperServer 1025C-UR and SuperServer
1025W-UR both support eight hot-swappable 2.5″ SAS hard disk drives and
feature Supermicro’s flexible Universal I/O (UIO) architecture to support
up to three add-on cards in a standard 1U form factor. With 16 hot-swap
2.5″ SAS drive trays, Supermicro’s 2U SuperServer 2025W-UR+ supports up to
128GB FBD memory including 1.5V low-voltage memory support.
“The latest Intel and processor technology provides the foundation that
enables Supermicro to provide industry-leading choices for enterprise data
center environments and high-performance computing applications,” said Kirk
Skaugen, vice president, Intel Digital Enterprise Group. “Recognizing the
value of the Intel Cluster Ready program for products like their
SuperBlade(TM) and 1U Twin(TM) servers, many Supermicro data center and HPC
products are now part of this program.”
