SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan 18, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ --
Super Micro Computer, Inc. (Nasdaq: SMCI), a leader in application-optimized, high performance server solutions, has released a new line of high-density 3U Serial-attached SCSI (SAS) storage chassis that support 16 hot-swap 3.5-inch SAS/SATA drives. SC936 series chassis incorporate advanced design features such as high-efficiency (88%*) 900-watt (1+1) redundant power supplies, 100% redundant cooling design, so that even if a fan fails, the system will continue to operate without compromising performance, SES-2 enclosure management, and iPass cables that minimize the number of internal cables, thus improving system airflow, cooling, and reliability. Supermicro's single Edge-expander SC936E1 chassis can cascade up to 240 physical devices, while the SC936E2 model with dual Edge-expanders supports redundant data path failover protection for mission-critical applications.
"These
highly scalable solutions hold up to 224 hot-swap 3.5-inch hard drives per 42U rack, providing up to 224 terabytes of SATA storage or 89.6 terabytes of SAS storage capacity per rack," said Charles Liang, CEO and president of Supermicro. "Besides their high performance and large capacity, the power efficiency and advanced cooling design of our SC936 series chassis not only reduce energy bills, but also help preserve the environment."
All SC936 chassis incorporate Supermicro's advanced vibration dampening design to ensure system reliability. These versatile chassis also support a wide range of UP and DP serverboards up to 13.68" x 13" including those optimized for quad-core Xeon 5400 or the latest quad-core Opteron processors and those with 16 memory slots for up to 64GB of memory. Additionally, SC936 chassis support up to seven full-height, full-length expansion cards, providing
flexible options for enhanced storage performance. Supermicro also offers optional DC power supplies, making these chassis an enticing choice for telecommunications applications.
