Supermicro Presents Revolutionary Advances in Twin Server Technology at IDF
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 22 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
Unprecedented Performance-per-Watt, per-Dollar, per-Square Foot
INTEL DEVELOPER FORUM -- Super Micro Computer, Inc. (Nasdaq: SMCI), a
leader in application-optimized, high-performance server solutions, is
showcasing its leadership in Twin server technology at the Intel Developer
Forum (IDF) 2009, Moscone Center West, San Francisco, September 22-24.
Located in Gold Sponsor booth #207, Supermicro is demonstrating its 1U
Twin(TM) and 2U Twin2 (Squared) SuperServers and unveiling its revolutionary
new TwinBlade(TM) with 20 dual-processor (DP) blades in 7U. In addition,
Supermicro CEO and president, Charles Liang, will give a 50-minute
presentation entitled "Twin Technology: 1U - 0.5U - 0.35U" in Room 2003 today
at 5:00pm.
"Supermicro's application-optimized server solutions empower our
customers with the best green technology advantages, such as Gold Level power
supplies that surpass 93% peak efficiency, advanced thermal cooling
solutions, more efficient board-level designs, and the highest
performance-per-watt," said Charles Liang, president and CEO of Supermicro.
"We also offer customers the widest selection of optimized Twin servers, such
as two DP nodes in 1U or four hot-pluggable, cable-less nodes in 2U with
redundant power, and now our revolutionary TwinBlade(TM) with 20 DP nodes in
7U. While our Twin servers do provide better performance-per-square foot,
their most important advantages are better performance-per-dollar and
performance-per-watt for environmentally conscious computing."
"With Twin servers powered by the Intel(R) Xeon(R) processor 5500 series,
Supermicro offers a family of solutions to meet the performance and energy
efficiency requirements of a broad range of workloads," said Kirk Skaugen,
vice president and general manager of Intel's Data Center Group. "Combining
Intel's breakthroughs in intelligent processing with these Twin server
solutions, customers will experience significantly higher performance while
consuming less overall power, enabling dramatic reduction opportunities in
their total cost of ownership."
Supermicro Twin servers deliver the ultimate in density, power savings
and performance-per-watt. Currently, 1U Twin(TM) and 2U Twin2 servers achieve
0.5U per node density. However, Supermicro's latest SuperBlade(R), called the
TwinBlade(TM) features twenty dual-processor (DP) blade modules in a 7U
enclosure to achieve 0.35U per node density and enabling up to 240 Xeon
processors per standard 42U rack. Supermicro is unveiling this revolutionary
new datacenter-optimized blade solution, which is based on the Intel(R) 5500
chipset, in booth 207. Two other new Supermicro Twin servers are a 2U Twin
with both nodes supporting six hot-swap 3.5" drives and a 2U Twin2 with all
four nodes supporting six hot-swap 2.5" drives.
