Petabyte Scale, Thermally-optimized All-Flash 1U Storage
Servers and JBOF support 32 hot-swap NVMe "Ruler" Drives in 1U of
rack space
SAN JOSE, California,
Nov. 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI), a
global leader in enterprise computing, storage, networking
solutions and green computing technology, today announced
availability of a new all-flash NVMe™ (Non-Volatile Memory Express)
1U JBOF (Just a Bunch Of Flash) and 1U SuperServer with support for
32 hot-swap Intel "Ruler" form factor NVMe SSDs.
With a total of 32 hot-swap "Ruler" NVMe drives in a 1U system,
Supermicro's new NVMe solution will provide all-NVMe capacity at
petabyte scale in 1U of rack space as the company supports 256TB
per system today and will support 512TB and then 1PB per system in
the near future. NVMe technology was developed to unleash the best
possible latency and provide faster CPU to data storage performance
for advanced computing. Optimized for the new Intel® "Ruler" form
factor, the new Supermicro system provides a more thermally
optimized high-density, high-performance all-flash storage solution
compared to previous all-flash storage technologies.
"With Supermicro 3.0, our enterprise customers benefit from the
industry's broadest selection of first-to-market server and storage
solutions with global reach, premium quality, RAS security, rack
scale management and global services. Our new all-flash 32
hot-swap Ruler drives in a high-density 1U system design is the
latest example of how Supermicro continues to lead the way for NVMe
technology," said Charles Liang,
President and CEO of Supermicro. "With more than triple the
all-flash storage density of previous 1U solutions, this Supermicro
system will take us to Petabyte scale in a single 1U system in the
near future. This new JBOF supports flexible configurations
with up to twelve hosts or head nodes and extremely high data
transfer throughput up to 64GB per second."
The new 1U all-NVMe Storage Server and JBOF disaggregate storage
into shared pools that are rapidly becoming the preferred hardware
infrastructure for demanding Big Data analytics applications such
as autonomous driving and real-time financial fraud
detection. Up to 12 hosts can be directly connected to the 1U
pooled NVMe storage. Alternatively, for customers who want to
deploy an NVMe over Fabric (NVMeoF) solution, hundreds of hosts can
be connected to the pooled high-performance NVMe storage over
Ethernet. Supermicro 1U all-NVMe Storage Servers and JBOF solutions
help maximize high-performance storage resource utilization and
reduce the datacenter footprint resulting in lower
TCO.
Supermicro's new all-flash 32 drive NVMe 1U system supports not
only Intel "ruler" form factor SSDs, but also standard U.2 SSDs to
offer customers greater storage flexibility. This 1U system
will support a half petabyte of NVMe storage capacity this year and
a full petabyte early next year. The system comes standard
with redundant hot-swap cooling fans and power supplies along with
tool-less drive trays for increased serviceability and redundancy.
For accessibility, the solution supports remote system on/off and
system management as well as remote power cycling for each
individual drive. For more information on this new JBOF,

This innovative high-end all-flash 1U system is the newest
addition to Supermicro's extensive portfolio of industry leading
storage servers and JBOD product lines. With 2U, 3U and 4U
offerings that include all-flash NVMe, Simply Double, double-sided
and top-loading options with SAS3 RAID or HBA controllers,
Supermicro provides the industry's broadest selection of storage
products to meet today's stringent customer requirements.
