Supermicro Showcases Latest
Innovations in Server Technology at CeBIT
New Double-Density TwinBlade™
Features 20 (28) DP Servers in 7U for 75% Space Savings with
94% Power Efficiency
HANNOVER, Germany, March 2, 2010 - Super Micro
Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI), a global leader in
application-optimized, high-performance server solutions, is
showcasing the very latest innovations in server technology, including
its breakthrough
TwinBlade solution, at CeBIT 2010 in Hannover, Germany (Hall 17,
Stand D70, booth B1). The innovative TwinBlade™ system doubles the
number of dual-processor (DP) compute nodes per 7U enclosure to 20
(28), for an incredibly dense and cost-effective 0.35U (0.25U) per
node.

"Our 20(28)-node server system based on the SBI-7226T-T2 blade
delivers unprecedented performance-per-dollar and
performance-per-square-foot," said Charles Liang, CEO and president of
Supermicro. "Available with 40Gb/s QDR InfiniBand switches, this
optimized blade solution combines industry-leading 94%* power supply
efficiency with our innovative and highly efficient thermal and
cooling system designs to deliver exceptional system
performance-per-watt, making it the greenest, most power-efficient
blade solution in the world today."
For maximum density and computational performance, the TwinBlade™
supports up to 20 dual-socket server blades per 7U enclosure, enabling
up to 2,880 processing cores per 42U rack. Combined with dual 40Gb/s
InfiniBand, FCoE or 10GbE switches and dual 1/10GbE switches in one 7U
enclosure, TwinBlade™ 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. With successful deployments at CERN, PRACE,
and other Fortune 100 organizations, SuperBlade® has already become
the preferred solution for a wide range of mission-critical
applications.
Another breakthrough product being displayed at CeBIT is
Supermicro's Double-Sided Storage™ system. With redundant Platinum
Level (94%+ efficiency) power supplies, the SC847 series server
chassis feature 36 hot-swap 3.5" hard drive trays (24 in the front and
12 in the rear). For JBOD configurations, the SC847 can support 21
drives in the rear for a total of 45 drives.
These high-capacity storage chassis provide direct hot-swap access
to all of the storage drives while saving valuable rack space.
Featuring the world's first fully redundant Platinum Level power
supplies with PMBus™ functionality for superior power management,
these reliable storage workhorses support seven low-profile (LP
models) or four full size and three low-profile expansion cards (UIO
models). The SC847 chassis support both 6Gb/s and 3Gb/s SAS interfaces
for high-bandwidth storage applications. Deploying these chassis into
a new 42U Supermicro rack with flexible cable management eliminates
cable obstructions for a truly optimized total solution.
Also being officially unveiled at CeBIT is the new SuperServer
4146B-3R. This server supports four Intel® Itanium 9300 Series
processors. Offering the ultimate in reliability, availability and
serviceability (RAS), the 4146B-3R features hot-plug CPU and memory
modules, hard drives, power supplies, and expansion cards, making it
an excellent solution for high-performance datacenter and
mission-critical applications.
In addition, Supermicro is showcasing an extensive selection of new
platforms optimized for Intel's upcoming Xeon processors codenamed
Westmere (DP) and Nehalem EX (MP), as well as platforms optimized for
AMD's upcoming Opteron processors (codenamed Magny-Cours). Supermicro
Server Building Block Solutions® offer exceptional flexibility and
features. See the very latest innovations in server technology in Hall
