ORLANDO, Florida, April 12, 2010 - STORAGE NETWORKING WORLD — Super Micro Computer, Inc. (Nasdaq: SMCI), a
leader in application-optimized server and storage solutions, is unveiling
the world's only dual-processor (DP) Storage Bridge Bay (SBB) system
optimized for mission-critical, enterprise-level storage applications at
Storage Networking World (SNW) in Orlando, Rosen Shingle Creek, booth 113,

"We are excited to offer dual-processor capability to the SBB platform
bringing DP computing power with the advantages of dual-node high-speed cache
mirroring to enterprise, mission-critical storage applications," said Charles
Liang, CEO and president of Supermicro. "Our innovative Super SBB
(SYS-6036ST-6LR) is a fully redundant, fault-tolerant system that provides
hot-swappable canisters for all active components."
Dual 10-gigabit Ethernet connections between each of the two dual-Xeon
serverboard canisters and the system midplane deliver high-speed cache
mirroring. If one serverboard fails, the other serverboard can control and
access the hard drives to keep the system up and running.
"We are excited to combine Supermicro's hardware systems expertise with
the performance and ease-of-use delivered by the RELDATA unified storage
operating system, RELvos, which includes our integrated clustering,
replication and data migration software," said Steven Murphy, CEO, RELDATA.
"Combining our technologies with the latest advancements in storage hardware
will offer our customers best-in-class, high-availability solutions with the
significantly improved storage performance that is now mandated to support
consolidated hypervisor environments."
The Supermicro system is a superset of the new SBB standard. The 3U Super
SBB supports sixteen 3.5" hot-swap HDDs (SAS1, SAS2 or Enterprise SATA) with
the option to expand beyond sixteen HDDs by using Supermicro's SBB JBOD
system (SYS-937R-E2JB). Each of the two serverboard canisters supports
dual-Xeon 5500/5600 series processors, six DIMM slots, three PCI-E Gen2 slots
and 6Gbps SAS (SAS 2.0) connections. Equipped with 1200W (Gold Level)
high-efficiency redundant power supplies and redundant cooling fans, the
SYS-6026ST-6LR is a highly-available, high-reliability storage system at a
competitive price.
Also featured at SNW is Supermicro's Double-Sided Storage(TM) chassis
(SC847 series), which provides customers with direct hot-swap access to all
storage drives while saving valuable rack space. With Platinum Level (94%+
efficiency) redundant power supply support, the server version of the chassis
features 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 HDDs in the rear
for a total of 45 hot-swap 3.5" drives. For more detailed information, go to
