SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov 18, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ --
Super Micro Computer,
Inc. (Nasdaq: SMCI), a leader in application-optimized, high performance
server and workstation solutions, is showcasing its industry-leading HPC
server solutions at SC '08 in Austin, Texas (booth 1033). With superior
computing density and energy efficiency, Supermicro's new breakthrough
personal supercomputer, 1U Twin(TM) and 4-way/2-way blade and rack servers
deliver exceptional performance while saving energy and operating costs.
"Our 10-blade server system based on the SBI-7125C-T3 blade is an
extremely cost-effective supercomputer. This solution now provides the
scientific community the opportunity to enable a personal supercomputer next
to their desks with the same computing power previously only available via
large server installations in a dedicated IT room," said Charles Liang, CEO
and president of Supermicro. "This optimized blade solution features 93%*
power supply efficiency, innovative and highly efficient thermal and cooling
system designs, and industry-leading system performance-per-watt (300+
GFLOPS/kW*), making it the greenest, most power-saving blade solution."
As the industry's most optimized 1U HPC solutions, Supermicro 1U Twin(TM)
servers support up to 4 processor sockets via two DP nodes in 1U of rack
space. This 0.5U density (84 server nodes in a standard 42U rack) combined
with optional onboard InfiniBand or 10GbE makes these platforms an excellent
choice for high-performance computing (HPC) clusters where space, cost,
energy-efficiency and density are high priorities. Upcoming Supermicro systems
optimized for Intel's next-generation Xeon(R) (Nehalem) processors and the
recently announced AMD Shanghai processors will be demonstrated at SC '08,
too.
With its SuperBlade(R) family, Supermicro offers the industry's most
extensive selection of application-optimized blade configurations.
Supermicro's enterprise-class SuperBlade(R) features both dual and
quad-processor blades for performance, scalability and flexibility. For
maximum computational performance and density, SuperBlade(R) supports up to 10
four-socket server blades (160 CPU cores) in one 7U enclosure. With 960
processing cores per 42U rack and Mellanox 4X DDR InfiniBand, SuperBlade is
one of the densest and fastest blade server solutions in the industry.
Additional cost savings associated with less IT space required as well as
easier maintenance and management make these solutions a very attractive
option for enterprise and high performance computing applications.
Supermicro Server Building Block Solutions(R) offer exceptional
flexibility and features. Come see Supermicro's latest HPC server solutions
at booth 1033.
