Supermicro SuperServer
The Supermicro SuperServer is a complete line of rackmount servers and towers, featuring a good product design and price/performance ratio. This line of servers provides a fair balance as to performance, efficiency, scalability, and flexibility. They are available in a wide variety of application targeted designs and form factors. These servers are suitable for Cloud, Virtualization, Networking, and other embedded applications.
Rackmount solutions are offered in 1U, 2U, 3U, and 4U. These systems come with redundant components to virtually eliminate system downtime. Density and performance go from the 1U SuperServers supporting up to 4 Processors, 12 Drive Bays, and 1.5TB Memory, to 4U SuperServers supporting up to 4 Processors, 48 Drive Bays, and 16TB Memory. In addition, Tower, Mid-Tower, Mini-Tower, and Box PC solutions are also available from the SuperServer line.
Supermicro SuperBlade
The Supermicro SuperBlade servers feature an enhanced system computing density. Each SuperBlade module delivers up to two Six-Core Intel Xeon processors, optional InfiniBand mezzanine HCA, optional PCI Express expansion card, and support for up to 6 SATA or SAS2 hard drives. The SuperBlade also offers 4-way AMD Opteron blades, for more compute-intensive applications. The SuperBlade is suitable for data center and HPC applications with performance & density optimized to achieve high processing cores per 42U standard rack.
The SuperBlade servers solution its offered in 4U, 6U, 7U, and 8U, aiming to reduce server footprint in the data center. Power, cooling and networking devices are aggregated in the rear of the chassis which also optimizes the required amount of space. Chassis management module (CMM) provides total remote control of individual server blades, power supplies, cooling fans, and networking switches remotely. As to networking, 8U SuperBlade options include four different Ethernet modules, 25G, 10GbE, Gigabit Ethernet, and HPC modules.
Supermicro SuperStorage
Supermicro SuperStorage systems offer a wide portfolio of choice in storage subsystems ranging from low-latency NVMe systems, density-optimized storage media, to JBODs and JBOFs for economical storage expansion. Supermicro SuperStorage provides capacity and performance solutions in minimal space, ideal for use in Enterprise, Data Center and Cloud Computing environments.
The SuperStorage solution its offered in 1U, 2U, 3U, and 4U, using 2.5" or 3.5" SSDs/HDDs. With Double-Sided Storage architecture, drives can be stacked and packed in the front and rear of the server chassis for ultimate storage density. Fully redundant, fault-tolerant architecture with hot-swappable drives, high-efficiency power supplies, and cooling fans, these systems provide high-availability and easy maintenance.
Supermicro FatTwin
