"Compared to other GPU-enabled blade solutions Supermicro's GPU
SuperBlade(R) provides more than double the number of GPUs per 1U of rack
space, and our 8-Way SuperServer(R) is unique in the industry with support
for eight next-generation ten-core Intel(R) Xeon(R) MP processors in a 5U
form factor, up to 2TB of memory and 10 PCI-E 2.0 slots for high availability
and virtualization support. Taken together with Supermicro's broad line of
1U, 2U and 4U GPU supercomputing servers, we have established undisputed
leadership in the new and rapidly evolving GPU computing business space,"
said Charles Liang, CEO and president of Supermicro. "These new products play
well into our strategy to deliver the end-to-end IT hardware needs of data
center, HPC and server farm customers. Our new Green Expansion in
Asia-Pacific with Operations Center in Taiwan encompassing 1.6 million ft(2),
and systems integration logistics center in Europe, represent our strong
commitment to growth and will increasingly support a growing ecosystem of
services partners. Our aim is to expand in this manner both vertically and
horizontally to enable new customer opportunities and relationships for
Supermicro."
The Supermicro SuperServer(R) 5086B-TRF next-generation 8-Way
SuperServer(R) provides up to 2TB of DDR3 memory in 64 DIMMs, 10 PCI-E 2.0
expansion slots, Gold / Platinum Level power supplies, and up to 24 2.5" hard
drives into 5U to deliver exceptional density. In addition users can
integrate up to 4 GPUs to take advantage of the exceptionally large memory
footprint to address heretofore unmanageable large scale computing projects.
The unprecedented high-density GPU SuperBlade SBI-7126TG supports two
NVIDIA Tesla M2050/M2070 GPU cards with non-blocking native Gen2 PCI-Express
x16 connections per node. Supermicro's SuperBlade system equipped with
SBI-7126TG modules enables up to 120 of the highest performing Fermi GPUs
plus 120 of the latest Xeon 5600 series processors to be deployed in a
standard 42U rack. Equipped with dual IOH chips and dual 40Gb/s QDR IB HCA
per blade, this GPU SuperBlade solution delivers maximum performance with the
best CPU to GPU balance and optimized I/O.
In addition at CeBIT Supermicro extends its lead in Twin server
technology with the 2U Twin(3) SuperServer(R) 2015TA-HTRF system that
includes eight Intel hot-pluggable Atom(TM) dual-core processor nodes in a 2U
form factor (two nodes per single hot-swap unit). Each node also supports 4
GB of non-ECC DDR3-800 MHz SO-DIMM, dual Gigabit Ethernet LAN, 2 USB ports,
IPMI 2.0 with virtual media over LAN support, and 3x 2.5" SATA hot-swap HDDs.
The system also includes (1+1) redundant 720W Gold Level power supplies with
PMBus, and four high quality fans with optimized fan speed controls.
The addition of Supermicro's new 24-port 10GbE switch, the SSE-X24S,
broadens Supermicro's portfolio of GbE and InfiniBand switches to enable
powerful networking with the most cost-effective switches available.
Available in a 1U form factor for either stand-alone or top-of-rack
deployments, this layer 3 switch allows connectivity to 10GbE routers,
servers, backbones, and data centers. A comprehensive routing and protocol
software suite ensures exceptional performance in even the most demanding
enterprise-class networking environments.
The SuperServer(R) 6046T-TUF ranks among the most optimized platforms
supporting the Embedded / IPC user base available today. The 4U short-depth
SYS-6046T-TUF includes enhanced cooling and also offers an onboard Baseboard
Management Controller (BMC) with advanced IPMI 2.0 to enable both
media-over-LAN and KVM-over-LAN access via a dedicated LAN port for
convenient remote system management anytime form anywhere. Powered by
Supermicro's X8DTE-F serverboard with 7-year component lifecycle, the product
supports up to two Intel Xeon 5600 processors, and 192GB of DDR3 1333MHz
memory.
The new SC732 enterprise mid-tower desktop chassis includes 500W / 865W
high-efficiency PS2 power supplies, four internal 3.5" bays and four optional
2.5" internal bays, with two standard 5.25" plus one 3.5" external peripheral
bays. The SC732D boasts four front USB 3.0 ports, two front IEEE 1394a
Firewire ports, and two front DH/AC97 audio ports, while the SC732i offers
two front USB 2.0 ports. The SC732 includes a host of unique, user-friendly
design features for easy installation including a toolless side panel and
drive bays, 90-degree pivoting hard disk drive cage, easy cable management
system, and folded edges for safety. In addition Supermicro's popular
SC813MTQ high-performance compact (less than 20-inch depth) chassis is the
only one on the market now available with redundant power supplies (400W /
600W Gold Level).
Supermicro's partnerships expand its vertical scale by providing
additional functionality, services, and software for customers using
Supermicro servers and equipment. Supermicro's partnerships and directions at
