Supermicro's SuperServers including the industry leading
portfolio of 60+ NVMe Flash based solutions with Intel Optane SSDs
can deliver up to 6 million WRITE IOPs and 16.5 TB of high
performance Optane storage in a 2U form factor
SAN JOSE, California,
March 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI), a global leader
in compute, storage and networking technologies including green
computing, expands the Industry's broadest portfolio of Supermicro
NVMe Flash server and storage systems with support for
Intel® Optane™ SSD DC P4800X, the world's most
responsive data center SSD.
Supermicro's NVMe SSD Systems with Intel Optane™ SSDs for the
Data Center enable breakthrough performance compared to traditional
NAND based SSDs. The Intel Optane™ SSDs for the data center
are the first breakthrough that begins to blur the line between
memory and storage, enabling customers to do more per server, or
extend memory working sets to enable new usages and discoveries.
The PCI-E compliant expansion card delivers an
industry leading combination of 2 times better
latency performance, up to more than 3 times higher endurance, and
up to 3 times higher write throughput than NVMe NAND
SSDs1. Optane is supported across Supermicro's complete
product line including: BigTwinTM, SuperBlade®, Simply
Double Storage and Ultra servers supporting the current and next
generation Intel® Xeon® Processors. These innovative solutions
enable a new high performance storage tier that combines the
attributes of memory and storage ideal for Financial Services,
Cloud, HPC, Storage and overall Enterprise applications.
The first generation Supermicro supported Intel Optane™ SSDs are
initially a PCI-E compliant expansion card with additional form
factors to follow. A 2U Supermicro Ultra system will be able
to deliver 6 million WRITE IOPs and 16.5 TB of high performance
Optane storage. Intel Optane™ will deliver optimal
performance in the 1U 10 NVMe All-Flash SuperServer and the
capacity optimized 2U 48 All-Flash NVMe Simply Double Storage
Server and provide accelerated caching across the complete line of
NVMe supported scale out storage servers including the new 4U 45
Drive system with NVMe Cache drives.
"Being First-To-Market with the latest in computing technology
continues to be our corporate strength, the addition of Intel
Optane™ memory technology gives our top tier customers a new memory
deployment strategy that provides better write performance and
latency than existing NVMe NAND SSD solutions including more than
30 drive writes per day," said Charles
Liang, President and CEO of Supermicro. "In addition this
new memory is slated to consume 30 percent lower max-power than SSD
NAND memory, supporting our customer's green computing
priorities."
"Supermicro's system readiness for the new Optane memory
technology will provide fast storage and cache for MySQL and HCI
applications, " said Bill Lesczinske, Vice President, Non-Volatile
Memory Solutions Group. "With 77x better read latency in the
presence of a high write workload and as a memory replacement with
Intel Memory Drive Technology – software will make the Optane SSD
look like DRAM transparently to the OS, providing greater in-memory
compute performance to Supermicro systems."
