Supermicro Unveils High-Density Server Solutions for Intel Haswell Processors

Super Micro Computer, Inc., a provider of advanced server building block solutions for data center, cloud computing, enterprise IT, hadoop, big data, HPC and embedded systems worldwide, has rolled out new compact high-density server solutions that will support Intel's (News - Alert) soon-to-be-released Xeon Processor E3-1200 V3 product family.

Apart from featuring a user-friendly interface, the new Supermicro uni-processor (UP) server solutions promise to offer advanced performance with improved energy efficiency using its cooling and power architectures and integration of Intel's latest processor microarchitecture based on 22nm 3-D Tri-Gate technology.

"Supermicro focuses on offering the greatest selection of computing, storage and networking solutions with maximum performance per watt, per dollar," said Charles Liang, president and CEO of Supermicro, in a statement.

Liang said that with the launch of Intel's new processors, Super Micro will introduce new server solutions such as its 3U eight, 12 and coming 24-node MicroCloud,  providing customers flexibility to deploy exactly the most optimized compute and storage solutions for any given application.

“With our new, higher density Haswell-based products, customers can maximize space and power utilization for greater operational savings,” Liang added.

The company plans to introduce 3U MicroCloud in 12-node (SYS (News - Alert)-5038ML-H12TRF) and eight-node (SYS-5038ML-H8TRF) configurations that offer independent hot-swappable nodes and each supporting future Intel Xeon E3-1200 V3 series processor, 32GB memory, 2x 3.5" or optional 4x 2.5" HDDs and MicroLP expansion.

The other servers in line that support future Intel Xeon Processor (News - Alert) E3-1200 V3 Family are 1U Mainstream UP server workhorse, 1U High reliability server, 1U Network-centric server and 1U Compact, short-depth server appliance.

Jordan Jacobs, vice president, product development at Phoenix NAP, one of the companies using MicroCloud server, said, "Supermicro's groundbreaking MicroCloud server solution is enabling Phoenix NAP to offer future Intel E3 processors starting on June 2. MicroCloud's modular, easily serviced, compact footprint provides us the performance, power efficiency and scalability needed to reach our aggressive price points while maintaining optimal customer experience. These benefits were exponentially multiplied as we have now expanded our business globally and are deploying hundreds of MicroCloud's a month for our customers worldwide."
