Nehalem SuperBlade Unveiled at BSI 2009
LAS VEGAS, Apr. 20 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
Supermicro Award-Winning Blades Deliver Highest Power Efficiency, Best
Performance-per-watt and Best TCO
Super Micro Computer, Inc. (Nasdaq: SMCI), a leader in
application-optimized, high performance server solutions, today unveiled live
SuperBlade(R) server demonstrations including new solutions optimized for
Intel(R) Xeon 5500 (Nehalem) processors at BladeSystems Insight 2009 at the
Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada (booth 305). At last year's BladeSystems
Insight, Supermicro's SuperBlade(R) won the Best Green Data Center Solution
award. Easy to deploy, easy to use, and offering the best
price-to-performance and profit potential available, the SuperBlade(R) was
also ranked number one by CRN over IBM and Dell in its May 2008 cover story
entitled Blades of Glory.
"Our new Nehalem blade solutions include the world's first SAS2-enabled
blade server in the world, doubling the storage data transfer rate from 3Gb/s
to 6Gb/s per channel," said Charles Liang, CEO and president of Supermicro.
"Featuring the industry's highest efficiency (93%*) power supplies, cooling
subsystems and motherboard designs, our SuperBlade(R) solutions deliver the
best system-level efficiency in the industry. This increases the maximum
computing power per rack and lowers the total cost of ownership (TCO), while
also reducing energy consumption and preserving the environment."
Leveraging the company's leadership position in advanced server designs,
Supermicro's latest SBI-7126T and SBI-7426T SuperBlade(R) servers maximize
the new Nehalem technology, which includes QPI (Intel(R) QuickPath
Interconnect) for up to 6.4GT/s, Integrated DDR3 Memory Controller, multiple
power envelops, and Intel(R) Turbo Boost Technology, to provide the
industry's highest performing and most optimized new generation blade
solutions.
Supermicro's OfficeBlade(R) enclosure with 10 blades in 7U provides
industry-leading energy efficiency and low-noise (50dB*) operation, making it
an excellent choice for office environments or a personal supercomputer,
especially when loaded into Supermicro's optimized 14U mobile rack cabinet
(CSE-RACK14U). While the quiet OfficeBlade(R) is ideal for office
environments, the DatacenterBlade(TM) packs 14 energy-efficient blades into
one 7U enclosure, with industry-leading performance-per-watt (353GFLOPS/kW*),
making it perfect for datacenter and HPC applications. Supermicro's
enterprise-class SuperBlade(R) features both dual and quad-processor blades
for performance, scalability and flexibility. For optimum storage,
SuperBlade(R) supports up to 10 two-socket server blades with 60 hot-plug
SAS/SATA hard disk drives in a single 7U enclosure.
For maximum computational performance and density, SuperBlade supports up
to 10 four-socket server blades (160 CPU cores) in one 7U enclosure. Leading
power efficiency, compute density (up to 960 processing cores per 42U rack),
performance-per-watt (353GFLOPS/kW*), and 20Gb InfiniBand switch & HCA (with
40Gb InfiniBand coming soon), make Supermicro's SuperBlade(R) the best choice
for HPC applications.
