Product Portfolio
Supermicro has an extensive portfolio of systems ready to
support the Intel 3rd Gen Xeon Scalable
Processors, including the Blades, Ultra, Twin family, GPU systems,
etc.
Customers can choose from 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable
processor-based blade servers for the SuperBlade 8U and 6U
enclosures, enhanced performance, faster DDR4 3200 memory, and PCIe
Gen4 for faster I/O. The 8U SuperBlade provides customers with AIOM
for front I/O and advanced networking options such as 200G HDR
InfiniBand or 25G Ethernet switches. In contrast, the 6U SuperBlade
provides customers with a memory-optimized configuration with
support for up to 12TB in a high-density form factor. Both the
SuperBlade 8U and 6U support hot-swap NVMe, and redundant AC/DC
power supplies, making them ideal for enterprise, cloud, EDA,
virtualization, and HPC applications.
Supermicro 1U and 2U Ultra SuperServers offer
best-in-class enterprise-level performance while delivering
unparalleled value, flexibility, scalability, and serviceability.
Depending on the configuration, they support the highest CPU
TDPs with vast networking and expansion possibilities.
The Twin, multi-node product line encompasses a multitude of
options for storage and server requirements. These include the
BigTwin with the highest performance and density in a 2U four-node
design, and AIOM networking options 1GbE, 10GbE, 25GbE, 100GbE, and
IB. The FatTwin with 4U systems supporting 4 or 8 nodes delivers
superior PUE for the highest efficiency. The modular hot-swap Twin
architecture enables high flexibility and serviceability.
Supermicro offers the industry's broadest selection of
GPU servers optimized for AI, Deep Learning, and HPC
workloads, including a full line of systems from 1U up to 10U,
including the SuperBlade, which supports up to 40 GPUs per 8U.
Supermicro offers high-density 2U and 4U servers with
interconnected 4-GPU and 8-GPU boards and 8 PCI-E based on the
four- and eight-way boards. With several GPUs now also available in
PCIe form factor, customers can also expect a significant
performance boost across Supermicro's extensive portfolio of
multi-GPU servers, including 1U Ultra, BigTwin™, 8U SuperBlade®, as
well as embedded systems supporting GPUs.
These products and others will support the Intel Xeon Scalable
processor-based (X12) platform. Supermicro is usually
first-to-market with accelerated access to the latest
technologies.
