Supermicro Showcases Double-Sided High-Capacity Solutions at Storage Visions 2010
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 5 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
Newest Storage Solution Supports up to 90 Terabytes of Storage
in 4U with Platinum Level Redundant Power
Super Micro Computer, Inc. (Nasdaq: SMCI), a leader in application-optimized,
high-performance server and storage solutions, is showcasing the world's first line
of double-sided storage chassis, which enable extra high-density storage, at the
Storage Visions 2010 conference at the Riviera Las Vegas (booth #17), January 5-6.
With Platinum Level (94%+ efficiency) redundant power supply support, Supermicro's
new SC847 series server chassis feature 36 hot-swap 3.5" hard drive trays with 24 in
the front and 12 in the rear. For JBOD configurations, the chassis can support 21
drives in the rear to support a total of 45 hot-swap 3.5" drives.
"Adding these double-sided, high-capacity storage chassis to our storage
portfolio provides our customers with direct hot-swap access to all of the
storage drives while saving valuable rack space," said Charles Liang, CEO and
president, Supermicro. "Besides saving enterprises hundreds of dollars per
system on their energy bills, Supermicro's full range of storage solutions
also help preserve the environment. Supermicro's latest 1U, 2U, 3U and 4U
storage chassis feature optimized iPass connectivity, SES-2 features and
enhanced hard drive trays as well as 100% recyclable, palletized packaging."
The new SC847 series storage chassis feature the world's first fully
redundant Platinum Level power supplies with PMBus(TM) functionality for
superior power management. These reliable and maintenance-free storage
workhorses also support up to seven low-profile add-on cards (LP models) or
four standard size and three low-profile add-on cards (UIO models). With iPass
connectivity mapping four drives per cable for easy maintenance, these new chassis
support both 6Gb/s and 3Gb/s SAS interfaces for high-bandwidth storage applications.
Deploying these storage chassis into a new 42U Supermicro rack, which virtually
eliminates cable obstructions, produces a truly optimized total solution.
For smaller capacity yet high-bandwidth performance requirements,
Supermicro offers an extensive selection. For instance, SC826 series storage
chassis supports 12 hot-swap SAS/SATA drives in 2U and up to seven add-on
cards, while the SC836 and SC936 series 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
SC846 series is a reliable and maintenance-free storage workhorse supporting
seven full-size add-on cards. For 2.5" storage, Supermicro's 1U SC113 chassis
support eight hard drives, while its 2U SC213 and SC216 series chassis
support 16 and 24 hard drives, respectively.
All Supermicro storage 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. Furthermore, the heavy-duty palletized packaging ensures secure
system reliability during shipping, and tool-less, roller rail designs for easy
installation and maintenance come standard.
