Supermicro Advances Twin Technology with Four Nehalem DP Servers in 2U
BEIJING, Apr. 8 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
New Nehalem 2U Twin2 ('Twin Squared') SuperServers Deliver Industry's Best
Performance-per-Watt and Performance-per-Dollar
Super Micro Computer, Inc. (Nasdaq: SMCI), a leader in
application-optimized, high-performance server solutions, is showcasing a 2U
Twin2 SuperServer with four hot-pluggable computing nodes in a 2U chassis and
a multi-GPU SuperWorkstation today at IDF Beijing 2009, Beijing International
Convention Center (BICC), booth GE014. These new systems are optimized to
fully leverage the benefits of the Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor 5500 (Nehalem)
Series to deliver the best performance-per-watt and performance-per-dollar in
the industry. Compared to previous generation Xeon platforms, Nehalem
features more than double the CPU, triple the memory and triple the I/O
bandwidth to deliver the largest increase in performance in the history of
Intel's Xeon product line.
"Building on our innovative 1U Twin(TM) server technology, Supermicro's
high-density 2U Twin2 architecture achieves breakthrough x86 server
performance-per-watt (375 GFLOPS/kW*) and performance-per-dollar while
facilitating easy maintenance," said Charles Liang, CEO and president of
Supermicro. "With optimized 93%+* high-efficiency power supplies, newly
designed CPU cooling components and air channels, and the most updated
motherboard voltage regulator module (VRM) designs, Supermicro 2U Twin2
servers deliver the best performance-per-watt of any server solution
available in today's x86 server market."
"The new Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor 5500 series provides a foundation for
Supermicro to deliver its customers new levels of system intelligence, with
the processor's ability to dynamically optimize itself to meet the
performance and energy efficiency requirements of a given workload and
customer environment," said Kirk Skaugen, vice president and general manager
of Intel's Server Platforms Group. "Intel is thrilled with the collaboration
and innovation we've seen from Supermicro around this new breakthrough in
intelligent processing."
Based on the Intel(R) 5520 (Tylersburg) chipset, Supermicro Nehalem
platforms support up to 144GB DDR3 memory in 18 DIMM slots. Several new
high-performance Supermicro platforms feature dual IOH-36D controller chips
to support up to 72 PCI-Express 2.0 links for unprecedented I/O capacity and
performance (such as 4 x16 PCI-E Gen2 slots for high-end nVidia/ATI GPU
applications) with optional SAS 2.0 for a 6 Gb/s per port transfer rate.
