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.
