Supermicro Introduces Over 100 Resource-Saving Server and Storage Systems with New 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors

SAN JOSE,Calif.,April 3,2019 --Super Micro Computer,Inc.(SMCI),a global leader in enterprise computing,storage,networking solutions and green computing technology,today announced fully optimized support for 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors on its entire portfolio of X11 servers,storage systems and Server Building Block Solutions®.

New Better,Faster and Greener Supermicro Resource-Saving Servers.

Supermicro has optimized its entire X11 portfolio to fully leverage the performance advantages of the new 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors (formerly codenamed Cascade Lake) and accompanying new innovations including Intel® Optane™ DC persistent memory to increase memory capacity and affordability and Intel® Deep Learning Boost to enable more efficient AI (artificial intelligence) acceleration. With these new Supermicro Resource-Saving servers,customers can expect better data center performance (35% faster),better TCO (up to 50% reduction) and less impact on the environment.

"At Supermicro,we are strongly committed to providing customers the newest technologiesfirst to help drive leading performance and improved TCO with higher server performance at the same price level," said Charles Liang,President and CEO of Supermicro. "With the industry's strongest and broadest product line,our designs deliver world record performance and take full advantage of 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Processors' new features such as 10% faster DIMMs,50% more memory capacity,faster CPU frequency up to 3.8GHz,and Intel Optane DC persistent memory. Furthermore,our all-flash NVMe™ 1U storage servers support all of the next-generation flash technologies including NF1 and EDSFF form factor SSDs to deliver the highest storage bandwidth,best IOPS performance,NVMe over Fabrics support and ease of maintenance. We already have over a dozen high-profile customers reporting exciting performance gains using these new 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors on a variety of applications."

"Systems with 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors and Intel Optane DC persistent memory at their foundation provide the performance,capabilities,and innovations that accelerate application performance across compute,storage and network workloads," said Lisa Spelman,vice president and general manager of Intel Xeon Processors and Data Center Marketing at Intel. "Supermicro is always quick-to-market with our latest technology,and a leader in delivering ready-to-adopt,workload-optimized Intel® Select Solutions,both of which help customers achieve faster time to value."

Supermicro's broad portfolio of over 100 workload optimized systems supporting the new processor family includes:

Industry Leading Resource-Saving Systems

Supermicro's unique Resource-Saving architecture disaggregates the CPU and memory along with other subsystems,so each resource can be refreshed independently allowing data centers to reduce refresh cycle costs and their impact to the environment by reducing e-waste. Further savings are achieved through shared power and cooling as well as free-air cooling solutions. When viewed over a three to five year refresh cycle,Supermicro Resource-Saving servers deliver,on average,higher-performing and more-efficient servers at lower costs than traditional rip-and-replace models by allowing data centers to independently optimize adoption of new and improved technologies.The following Supermicro product lines support Resource-Saving features to not only deliver exceptional performance but also superior value: BigTwin™with the highest performance and density in a 2U four-node design with each node supporting 24 DIMMs,six hot-swap NVMe drives and flexible networking capability; 4U FatTwin™ in a variety of I/O,memory and storage combinations for most optimized cloud,HPC and enterprise applications; and SuperBlade® systems with two-socket and four-socket Intel Xeon Scalable processor-based blade servers supporting top-bin 205-watt processors,NVMe,100G EDR InfiniBand switch,or 25G/10G Ethernet switches,redundant AC/DC power supplies,and Battery Backup(BBP),making them ideal for enterprise,cloud,and HPC applications.
