HANNOVER, Mar. 3 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
Breakthrough Performance-per-Watt (375 GFLOPS/kW) and Best
Performance-per-Dollar Server, Blade and Workstation Platforms
Super Micro Computer, Inc. (Nasdaq: SMCI), a leader in
application-optimized, high-performance server solutions, today unveiled its
comprehensive new line of server and workstation solutions optimized for
upcoming Intel(R) Xeon(R) processors along with its new 2U Twin2 (Twin
Squared) family of servers at CeBIT 2009 in Hannover, Germany, March 3-8,
Hall 21, Stand C72. Supermicro is putting its server technology leadership on
full display with a wide selection of SuperServer demos including its
innovative 2U Twin2 server with four hot-pluggable dual-processor (DP) nodes
as well as SuperBlade(R) and SuperWorkstation systems optimized with 93%+*
high-efficiency power supplies, LV DDR3 memory, SAS 2.0 and more features.
"We are showcasing over 50 of our latest motherboards plus over 20
server, workstation and blade systems including an extensive selection of new
platforms optimized for Intel's upcoming Xeon processors codenamed Nehalem,"
said Charles Liang, CEO and president of Supermicro. "Building upon our
successful 1U Twin(TM) technology, our innovative 2U Twin2 system
architecture achieves breakthrough x86 server performance-per-watt (375
GFLOPS/kW*, up to 25% net gain over other top tiers' 1U servers) to further
satisfy the ever-increasing efficiency, density and low-TCO demands of
today's high performance computing (HPC) clusters and datacenters."
2U Twin2 servers are compatible with existing and upcoming Supermicro
twin boards. They feature hot-swappable hard drives, power supplies and even
computing nodes to facilitate easy installation and maintenance. For high
availability, 2U Twin2 servers provide optional redundant power and three
3.5" hard drives per node for RAID 5 data protection.
Based on the company's application-optimized Server Building Block
Solutions(R) strategy, Supermicro is offering customers the industry's
broadest selection of products based on Intel's upcoming chipset codenamed
Tylersburg. For maximum performance-per-watt, these platforms support both
1.5-volt and 1.35-volt DDR3 memory with up to 144GB 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 (like 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.
Supermicro provides the ultimate in storage and networking flexibility
with its Universal I/O (UIO) interface that allows customers to choose from a
host of UIO cards for SAS 2.0, 10Gb Ethernet, FC or InfiniBand subsystems.
For optimum performance-per-dollar and best remote management, Supermicro
also offers onboard IPMI 2.0 with media and KVM over LAN support on many of
these new platforms, as well as both cost-effective DDR and high-performance
QDR onboard InfiniBand versions for its award-winning 1U Twin(TM)/2U Twin2
motherboards.
