Supermicro Pumps Up Server Efficiency and Performance With Next-Generation UP
Platforms
SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 8 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
Technology Leadership for Entry Server Platforms with
Integrated 6Gb/s SAS 2.0, IPMI 2.0, DDR3 Memory, PCI Express 2.0
Super Micro Computer, Inc. (Nasdaq: SMCI), a leader in
application-optimized, high-performance server solutions, is shipping a new
lineup of uni-processor (UP) server building blocks optimized for the
Intel(R) Xeon(R) processor (Lynnfield) 3400 series. Delivering more
performance, less power consumption and lower cost compared to their
predecessors, this new generation of UP server solutions features up to 32GB
DDR3 memory and PCI Express 2.0 support with optional on-board 6Gb/s SAS 2.0
and IPMI 2.0 remote management.
"These new platforms can boost performance more than 50% compared to the
previous generation of single-processor server platforms," said Charles
Liang, president and CEO of Supermicro. "By combining our high-efficiency
Gold Level (up to 93%) power supplies and optimized cooling systems with
90%-efficient VRMs, these new UP SuperServers can sharply reduce power
consumption and total cost of ownership (TCO)."
"With today's launch of the 1U SuperServers powered by the Intel(R)
Xeon(R) processor 3400 series, Supermicro is offering a compelling solution
to meet customer's needs," said Boyd Davis, General Manager of Marketing in
Intel's Server Platforms Group. "Based on Intel's highly integrated new
two-chip solution, these server platforms boost performance and consume less
power, so customers get more and pay less in energy costs."
Today's introduction includes ten new SuperServer models based on six new
serverboards. These models range from the short-depth (14") 5016I-MR, based
on the cost-effective X8SIL serverboard, to the high-density 1016I-M6F, which
supports up to eight hot-plug 6Gb/s SAS hard drives and onboard IPMI 2.0
remote server management.
In addition to eight 1U SuperServer models, Supermicro is also
introducing the mini-tower SuperServer 5036I-IF, which supports four add-on
cards, up to 32GB Registered DDR3 memory, dual Gigabit LAN ports, and four
3.5" drive bays with RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10. The whisper-quiet (25dB) 5036I-IF
provides integrated IPMI 2.0 (optional) through a dedicated LAN port to
support both Virtual Media over LAN and KVM-over-LAN. With a high-efficiency
300-watt power supply, this cost-effective small footprint server includes
user-friendly design features for easy installation, including a 90-degree
pivoting hard disk drive cage.
