Supermicro Delivers Application-Optimized Servers for Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor 5600/3600 Series
By Super Micro Computer Inc., PRNEMonday, March 15, 2010
Over 70 Server, Workstation & Blade Systems plus 55 Serverboards Available to Boost Performance, Density and Performance-per-Watt
SAN JOSE, California, March 16, 2010 - Super Micro Computer, Inc. (Nasdaq: SMCI), a global leader in
application-optimized, high-performance server solutions, today announced
that it has launched a complete, optimized selection of server, workstation
and blade solutions to support the new generation Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor
5600/3600 Series (formerly codenamed Westmere). These solutions boost
performance 60%* compared to the previous generation of Nehalem solutions.
Featuring power supplies with the highest efficiency in the industry (94%+*)
and advanced tuned cooling subsystems and serverboard designs, Supermicro's
latest solutions offer the highest performance, density, performance-per-watt
and performance-per-dollar.
"With Supermicro's innovative architecture and resource sharing, our
comprehensive selection of products optimized for the new generation six-core
Xeon processors deliver not only the best performance-per-watt but also
performance-per-dollar while offering the highest densities in the industry,"
said Charles Liang, CEO and president of Supermicro. "For example, our new
TwinBlade(TM) doubles the number of dual-processor (DP) compute nodes to 20
per 7U, for an incredibly dense and cost-effective 0.35U per node. This
breakthrough blade design leverages our successful Twin architecture to
provide optimal performance, density and value."
"The new Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor 5600/3600 series provides an exciting
foundation for Supermicro to deliver unprecedented new levels of intelligent
performance, energy efficiency, and security," said Kirk Skaugen, vice
president and general manager of Intel's Data Center Group. "Intel is excited
to see the innovation Supermicro is bringing customers around these new Intel
technologies."
For maximum density and computational performance, Supermicro's
TwinBlade(TM), based on the SBI-7226T-T2 blade, supports up to 20 dual-socket
server blades per 7U enclosure. Combined with dual 40Gb/s InfiniBand, FCoE or
10GbE switches and dual 1/10GbE switches in one 7U enclosure, TwinBlade(TM)
provides the highest performing I/O throughput and scalability in the
industry and is a superb solution for high-performance computing (HPC),
datacenter, enterprise and cloud computing environments, especially when
powered by the new generation six-core Xeon processors.
Supermicro's new server and workstation system and motherboard platforms
support the entire range of new six-core Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor 5600/3600
Series, including the highest performance 130-watt SKUs. Consistent with the
company's commitment to green computing, these new solutions support both
standard 1.5V DDR3 memory modules and low-voltage 1.35V modules.
94%+* Supermicro Platinum-level power supplies with PM-Bus come standard
on most of these new systems. In addition, Supermicro provides the ultimate
in storage and networking flexibility with its Universal I/O (UIO) interface
that allows customers to choose from a host of I/O cards including SAS 2.0,
10 Gb Ethernet, Fiber Channel and QDR/DDR InfiniBand subsystems.
Supermicro's industry-leading serverboards deliver optimum
performance-per-dollar and robust remote management. These new platforms
offer onboard IPMI 2.0 with media and KVM-over-LAN support as well as 10Gb
Ethernet, high-performance 40Gb/s QDR and cost-effective DDR onboard
InfiniBand versions for many of its serverboards, such as the X8DTT series
for its popular multi-node 1U Twin(TM), 2U Twin and 2U Twin(2) servers.
Supermicro Server Building Block Solutions(R) offer exceptional
flexibility and feature advantages. For more information on Supermicro's
