Super Micro Computer, Inc. (SMCI),
a global leader in enterprise computing, storage, networking solutions
and green computing technology, today announced fully optimized support
for 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors on its entire portfolio of X11 servers, storage systems and Server Building Block Solutions.
Supermicro
has optimized its entire X11 portfolio to fully leverage the
performance advantages of the new 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors
(formerly codenamed Cascade Lake) and accompanying new innovations
including Intel Optane DC persistent memory to increase memory
capacity and affordability and Intel Deep
Learning Boost to enable more efficient AI (artificial intelligence)
acceleration. With these new Supermicro Resource-Saving servers,
customers can expect better data center performance (35% faster), better
TCO (up to 50% reduction) and less impact on the environment.
"At
Supermicro, we are strongly committed to providing customers the newest
technologies first to help drive leading performance and improved TCO
with higher server performance at the same price level," said Charles Liang,
President and CEO of Supermicro. "With the industry's strongest and
broadest product line, our designs deliver world record performance and
take full advantage of 2nd Gen
Intel Xeon Scalable Processors' new features such as 10% faster DIMMs,
50% more memory capacity, faster CPU frequency up to 3.8GHz, and Intel
Optane DC persistent memory. Furthermore, our all-flash NVMe 1U storage
servers support all of the next-generation flash technologies including
NF1 and EDSFF form factor SSDs to deliver the highest storage
bandwidth, best IOPS performance, NVMe over Fabrics support and ease of
maintenance. We already have over a dozen high-profile customers
reporting exciting performance gains using these new 2nd Gen Intel Xeon
Scalable processors on a variety of applications."
"Systems with 2nd Gen
Intel Xeon Scalable processors and Intel Optane DC persistent memory at
their foundation provide the performance, capabilities, and innovations
that accelerate application performance across compute, storage and
network workloads," said Lisa Spelman,
vice president and general manager of Intel Xeon Processors and Data
Center Marketing at Intel. "Supermicro is always quick-to-market with
our latest technology, and a leader in delivering ready-to-adopt,
workload-optimized Intel® Select Solutions, both of which help customers
achieve faster time to value."
Supermicro's broad portfolio of over 100 workload optimized systems supporting the new processor family includes:
Industry Leading Resource-Saving Systems
Supermicro's
unique Resource-Saving architecture disaggregates the CPU and memory
along with other subsystems, so each resource can be refreshed
independently allowing data centers to reduce refresh cycle costs and
their impact to the environment by reducing e-waste. Further savings are
achieved through shared power and cooling as well as free-air cooling
solutions. When viewed over a three to five year refresh cycle,
Supermicro Resource-Saving servers deliver, on average,
higher-performing and more-efficient servers at lower costs than
traditional rip-and-replace models by allowing data centers to
independently optimize adoption of new and improved technologies. The
following Supermicro product lines support Resource-Saving features to
not only deliver exceptional performance but also superior value: BigTwin with
the highest performance and density in a 2U four-node design with each
node supporting 24 DIMMs, six hot-swap NVMe drives and flexible
networking capability; 4U FatTwin in a variety of I/O, memory and storage combinations for most optimized cloud, HPC and enterprise applications; and SuperBlade systems
with two-socket and four-socket Intel Xeon Scalable processor-based
blade servers supporting top-bin 205-watt processors, NVMe, 100G EDR
InfiniBand switch, or 25G/10G Ethernet switches, redundant AC/DC power
supplies, and Battery Backup (BBP), making them ideal for enterprise,
cloud, and HPC applications. To learn more about Supermicro's

No-Compromise 1U & 2U Enterprise Systems
Supermicro 1U and 2U Ultra SuperServers
offer best-in-class enterprise level performance while delivering
unparalleled value, flexibility, scalability and serviceability.
Depending on configuration, systems feature dual 2nd Gen
Intel Xeon Scalable processors (up to 28 cores, 205W TDP per CPU), 24
DIMMs of DDR4-2933MHz Reg. ECC memory, Intel Optane DC persistent
memory, up to 24 hot-swap NVMe (up to 16 million IOPS) or SAS3/SATA3
drives, up to eight PCI-E 3.0 expansion slots, dual or quad-port 1G,
10GBase-T, 10G SFP+, or 25G SFP28 Ethernet, and redundant
750W/1000W/1600W Titanium Level (96%+) digital power supplies.
1U Petascale All-Flash NVMe Storage Systems
Supermicro's
new Petascale line of all-flash NVMe 1U storage servers support all of
the next-generation flash technologies with up to 52GB/second data
bandwidth out of the box, best IOPS performance, NVMe over Fabrics
support and ease of maintenance. With these 1U systems supporting up to
1PB of fast low-latency storage with 32 front hot-swap U.2, EDSFF and
NF1 form factor SSDs, Supermicro offers unprecedented flexibility and
choice for high-capacity networked storage applications that require the
best latency performance. These systems provide a real time-to-value
advantage for data centers running data-intensive workloads.
Industry Leading AI Systems
Supermicro
offers the industry's broadest selection of servers optimized for AI,
Deep Learning, and HPC workloads. 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors
include a range of built-in AI accelerators, such as Intel® DL Boost,
that take full advantage of the growing array of Intel-optimized AI
frameworks and tools. Also, with a full line of systems from 1U up to
10U supporting a single GPU up to 20 GPUs, Supermicro has specialized
systems for the specific AI workload, including optimized system models
for the highest performance of Deep Learning Training and for maximum
throughput of Deep Learning Inference.
