Super Micro delivers application-optimized servers for Intel Xeon Processor

Super Micro Computer has recently
announced the launch of an optimized selection of server, workstation
and blade solutions to support the new generation Intel Xeon
Processor 5600/3600 Series. These solutions boost performance by 60
percent as compared to the previous generation of Nehalem solutions.
Featuring power supplies efficiently in the industry and well-tuned
cooling subsystems and serverboard designs, Super Micro's latest
solutions offer good performance. “With Super Micro'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, Super Micro. “For
example, our new TwinBlade doubles the number of dual-processor
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,” he added.

“The new Intel Xeon Processor
5600/3600 series provides an exciting foundation for Super Micro to
deliver unprecedented new levels of intelligent performance, energy
efficiency, and security,” commented Kirk Skaugen, VP and
GM-Datacenter Group, Intel. “Intel is excited to see the
innovation Super Micro is bringing customers around these new Intel
technologies,” he added. For maximum density and computational
performance, Super Micro's TwinBlade, 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 or10GbE 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, especially when powered
by the new generation six-core Xeon processors. Super Micro's new
server and workstation system and motherboard platforms support the
entire range of new six-core Intel Xeon 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.
Super Micro Platinum-level power supplies with PM-Bus come standard
on most of these new systems.

Super Micro's 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. Super Micro Server Building
Block Solutions offer exceptional flexibility and feature advantages.
