Golden Era for Supermicro Green Storage Solutions
SAN JOSE, Calif., May 21 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
Gold Level (93%+ efficiency*) 1200-watt Redundant Power Supplies
Super Micro Computer, Inc. (Nasdaq: SMCI), a leader in
application-optimized, high-performance server solutions, today announced
that its latest generation of enhanced, high-capacity storage chassis with
Gold Level certified 1200-watt redundant power supplies are shipping in
volume. These chassis feature Supermicro's advanced cooling subsystem designs
to deliver optimal system efficiency and TCO by reducing customers' energy
bills.
A pioneer of high-efficiency server technology, Supermicro has been
leading the way with the most efficient systems for years. As the APAC chair
of the Climate Savers Computing Initiative, the company has successfully
encouraged others within the industry to improve, too. Enabling these new
93%+ power supplies has re-established Supermicro as the true leader in
producing the industry's most energy-efficient systems.
"We are ushering in a golden era in storage solutions by upgrading our
high-capacity storage chassis with Gold Level certified 1200-watt
high-efficiency power supplies," said Charles Liang, CEO and president,
Supermicro. "In addition to saving enterprises hundreds of dollars per system
on their energy bills, these solutions also help preserve the environment.
This new generation of 1U, 2U, 3U and 4U storage chassis feature optimized
iPass connectivity, fully redundant power supplies with PMBus(TM)
functionality for superior power management, SES-2 features and enhanced hard
drive trays, as well as 100% recyclable, palletized packaging."
Supermicro's new SC826A-R1200LPB storage chassis supports 12 hot-swap
SAS/SATA drives in 2U and up to seven low-profile add-on cards. The
SC836A-R1200B and SC936A-R1200B chassis both feature 16 hot-swap SAS/SATA
drive bays in 3U with support for seven full-size add-on cards. With 24
hot-swap SAS/SATA drive bays (and up to two internal drives) in 4U, the new
SC846A-R1200B is a reliable and maintenance-free storage workhorse that also
supports seven full-size add-on cards. For 2.5" storage, Supermicro's 1U
SC113 chassis support eight hard drives, while its 2U SC213A and SC216A
series chassis support 16 and 24 hard drives, respectively.
These new chassis, with iPass connectivity mapping four drives per cable
for hassle-free maintenance, are optimized for direct-attach storage
solutions. They support both 3Gbps and 6Gbps SAS interfaces for
high-bandwidth storage applications. When combined with Supermicro's wide
selection of network and storage controller cards, these systems are ideal
for SAN or NAS as well as Cloud-based storage, SaaS, disaster recovery, and
iSCSI solutions.
All of these chassis flexibly support both uni-processor (UP) and
dual-processor (DP) motherboards and feature optimized hard drive signal
trace routing and improved hard drive tray designs to dampen vibrations and
maximize drive performance. Another unique Supermicro advantage is 100%
cooling redundancy; even if an internal cooling fan fails, these systems will
continue operating without any performance loss. In addition, heavy-duty
palletized packaging is standard on these 1200-watt series chassis to ensure
secure system reliability during shipping, and tool-less, roller rail designs
for easy installation and maintenance come standard.
