Storage Networking World, October 15-16, 2007 -- Super Micro Computer, Inc. (Nasdaq: SMCI), a leader in application optimized high performance server solutions is showcasing the latest SAS storage server technology based on its innovative and flexible Universal I/O (UIO) architecture at booth G22 in the Gaylord Texan Resort. When combined with new high-capacity 2U, 3U and 4U Supermicro storage chassis featuring 100% cooling redundancy and high-efficiency power supplies, these UIO SAS solutions form truly optimized storage servers.
"Our new SC846 chassis on display at SNW features 24 hot-swap hard drive trays and two fixed internal hard drive bays for maximum storage capacity in a 4U space," said Charles Liang, CEO and president of Supermicro. "We also offer two high-end 3U chassis (SC836 and SC936) that support 16 hot-swap drives, and our SC826 chassis supports 12 hot-swap
drives for maximum storage capacity of 12TB in a 2U form factor."
Besides supporting up to 26TB of storage, the SC846 design features two redundant high-efficiency 900-watt power supplies, optimized HDD signal trace routing and an improved HDD tray design to dampen vibrations and maximize performance. Like the other new Supermicro high-capacity storage chassis, the SC846 features an optimized 100% cooling redundant design to ensure that even when one key fan fails, the system will still continue operating without any performance compromise.
Leveraging the Intel(R) IOP348 (Sunrise Lake) SAS controller and the latest LSI SAS controllers, Supermicro UIO SAS solutions offer the flexibility to support both internal and external storage configurations. To enable true optimization, Supermicro offers ten different UIO SAS cards along with a host of UIO motherboards and compatible
chassis for customers to choose from. For networking, Supermicro also offers a dual-port 10G (Intel Oplin) UIO card.
