Including Ultra SuperServers, BigTwin, SuperBlade, FatTwin, GPU/co-processor and SuperStorage solutions

Super Micro Computer, Inc. released a line of X11 generation server and storage solutions featuring the Xeon Scalable processor family with the support for NVMe storage and 100/25GbE.

This portfolio supporting the new processor family includes: 1U/2U Ultra SuperServers with performance; BigTwin with performance and density in a 2U four-node design with support for 24 DIMMs, six hot-swap NVMe drives and flexible networking capability for each node; 4U FatTwin in a variety of I/O, memory and storage combinations for most optimized cloud, HPC and enterprise applications; SuperBlade – two and four-socket Xeon blade servers supporting 205W TDP CPU, NVMe, with integrated 100Gb Intel Omni-Path switch, 100Gb EDR IB switch, 25G/10GbE switches, redundant AC/DC power supplies, and Battery Backup(BBP), making them for enterprise, cloud, and HPC applications.

Other products include: SuperServers with GPU/co-processors optimized for AI/Deep Learning/HPC workloads, SuperStorage solutions including 45/60-bay 4U systems with six built-in NVMe drives for I/O optimization, 2U Simply Double systems, 1U/2U/3U/4U general-purpose storage systems and 2U Storage Bridge Bay solutions, 2U/4U/Tower Mainstream SuperServers targeted at entry-level and volume markets for significant CAPEX/OPEX savings, 1U/2U WIO solutions with a range of I/O options optimized for network or security appliances, UP servers and 4U/Tower SuperWorkstations built with server-grade components for engineering and creative professionals looking for performance and expandability on their desks.

The X11 generation solutions are engineered to unleash the performance and rich feature sets on the Xeon Scalable processor family, supporting more cores and higher TDP envelopes of 205W and higher, increased to six memory channels with higher bandwidth, and more PCI-E 3.0 lanes with up to 100/40/25/10GbE, 100Gb EDR IB and integrated Intel Omni-Path Architecture networking fabrics.

The elevated compute performance, density, I/O capacity, and efficiency are coupled with support for NVMe NAND flash to deliver up to 16 million IO/s for application responsiveness and agility.

Customers can select the server, storage, blade, network, or workstation systems optimized for their applications, as well as the performance, memory, storage, and I/O profiles that matched to their workloads, at attractive price points.

All X11 generation systems and ‘Server Building Block Solutions’ are architected for the next generation data center management frameworks, including support for industry standard Redfish RESTful APIs and the company’s Rack Scale Design (RSD) that maximize data center utilization through disaggregating compute, network and storage resources distributed within a rck or across multiple racks.

At Supermicro, we understand that customers need the newest technologies as early as possible to drive leading performance and improved TCO,” said Charles Liang, president and CEO, Supermicro. “With the industry’s strongest and broadest product line, our designs not only take full advantage of Xeon Scalable Processors’ new features such as three UPI, faster DIMMs and more core count per socket, but they also fully support NVMe through unique non-blocking architectures to achieve the best data bandwidth and IO/s. For instance, one Supermicro 2U storage server can deliver over 16 million IO/s.

Supermicro and Intel Select Solutions
The company supports and markets Intel Select solutions that aim to accelerate advanced infrastructure adoption of data center technologies offered by Intel, the company, and ecosystem partners. The solutions take workload optimization to a new level with configurations verified to exploit performance advantage of next generation technologies enabled in Xeon processor Scalable platforms. Deploying Xeon processor Scalable Platinum or Gold platforms with an Intel Select Solution delivers verified solution performance ready to meet high quality thresholds for data protection and resiliency, system agility and service reliability.

A portfolio of optimized and verified X11 generation solutions will include virtualization, database, hyper-converged infrastructure, HPC and Cloud solutions in the second half of 2017 with many more solution categories coming in 2018 and beyond.

The Intel Xeon Scalable processor family provides Supermicro with the optimized performance and power efficiency required to address the most critical challenges facing the data center,” said Lisa Spelman, VP, data center group, Intel. “Our joint work on development of Select Solutions will help deliver this technology optimization in a verified technology configuration to speed and simplify customer selection and deployment of data center infrastructure.
