Supermicro, Inc. is
introducing the most powerful server in its lineup for large-scale
database and enterprise applications. The Multi-Processor product line
includes the 8-socket server,
ideal for in-memory databases requiring up to 480 cores and 32TB of
DDR5 memory for maximum performance. In addition, the product line
includes a 4-socket server,
which is ideal for applications that require a single system image of
up to 240 cores and 16TB of high-speed memory. These powerful systems
all use 4
th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors. Compared with
the previous generation of 8-socket and 4-socket servers, the systems
have 2X the core count, 1.33X the memory capacity, and 2X the memory
bandwidth. Also, these systems deliver up to 4X the I/O bandwidth
compared to previous generations of systems for connectivity to
peripherals. The Supermicro 8-socket system has attained the highest
performance ratings ever for a single system based on the SPECcpu2017 FP
Rate benchmarks, for both the base and peak results. In addition, the
Supermicro 8-socket and 4-socket servers demonstrate performance
leadership on a wide range of SPEC benchmarks. Learn more about the SPEC
benchmarks at:

"We continue to address the needs of our enterprise customers with
our new 8-socket and 4-socket servers, the largest and most powerful
servers in the industry today," said Charles Liang,
president, and CEO of Supermicro. "We are addressing the needs of the
most demanding organizations worldwide, who require the simplicity and
serviceability of a single system with up to 480 cores, 32TB of memory,
and up to 12 NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs in a single enclosure. Our new
8-socket systems lead the entire industry in both floating point and
integer performance for large MP systems. With our Building Block
Solutions approach to server design allows us to bring a wide range of
servers to market faster, from the edge to the corporate data center.
Supermicro now delivers Rack Scale Solutions for our customers worldwide
without constraints."

Both the 8-socket and 4-socket servers have been certified for SAP HANA and Oracle Database and Applications.
The large memory pools available to these systems allow superior SAP
and Oracle performance as all workloads are scaled up in a single node
without the latency of horizontally scaling across networks. In
addition, the 4-socket system can host two double-width GPUs while the
8-socket system can host up to 12 double-width GPUs allowing for
real-time or batch AI training and inferencing against SAP and Oracle
datasets. The versatility and expandability of these systems futureproof
SAP and Oracle deployments for rapidly evolving generative AI
automation of ERP workflows.
The new 8-socket and 4-socket servers
reduce complexity when creating a high-performance data center for
enterprise applications, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI),
Databases, Analytics, Business Intelligence, ERP, CRM, and Scientific
Visualization workloads. By bringing massive amounts of computing,
memory, and storage resources together within a single instance of the
operating system, the management of the system is reduced, as is the
networking to other servers. The specifications of the two new systems:
- SYS-681E-TR: Up to TDP 350W, 480 Cores, 32TB of DDR5 Memory, 12 Double-Wide GPUs and 24x 2.5" Drives, 6U
- SYS-241H-TNRTTP: Up to TDP 350W, 240 Cores, 16TB of DDR5 Memory, 4 Single-Wide GPUs and 8x 2.5" Drives, 2U
- SYS-241E-TNRTTP: Up to TDP 185W, 96 cores, 16TB of DDR5 Memory, 2 Double-Wide GPUs and 24x 2.5" Drives, 2U
"Supermicro is a leader in developing scale-up systems that use the 4th
Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors. These systems are designed to
accelerate enterprise applications with hundreds of cores and terabytes
of memory," stated Greg Ernst, Intel
Americas corporate vice president and general manager. "We work closely
with Supermicro to deliver innovative systems for large scale
applications."
