Supermicro expands high-performance single-processor systems portfolio
Super Micro Computer has recently announced an expansion of its portfolio of single-processor systems based on the Intel Xeon E-2300 and 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors. The move is aimed at enabling a wider range of edge applications by allowing firms to optimize their required configuration of entry-level servers for intelligent edge to data center-class systems.
According to Supermicro, the 6U SuperBlade and other new single-socket systems are ideal for high-density multi-node applications.
The Supermicro SuperServer E403 wall-mount edge server for telco environments, in particular, features high core counts, ample memory capacity, and fast I/O, all capabilities required to deliver high performance at optimized price points.
“We are delivering an expanded portfolio of single-processor application-optimized systems that will provide exactly the best performance and efficiency for targeted workloads, including telco, edge, storage, security, artificial intelligence (AI) inferencing, and bare-metal provisioning,” explained Supermicro CEO Charles Liang.
From a technical standpoint, the novel single-socket systems also support up to 16 DIMM slots, enabling up to 4TB of DRAM or 6TB of DRAM with Intel Optane Persistent Memory (Pmem).
In addition, the new devices are also compatible with Intel’s SGX security features, and they are available in multi-node servers, rackmount servers, and workstations form factors.
Supermicro launches JumpStart Infrastructure
Supermicro has also recently released its JumpStart for the Supermicro Rack Plug and Play Cloud Infrastructure.
The free remote access testing and validation program aims to eliminate the difficulties connected with the design and deployment of custom in-house cloud solutions.
Instead, the platform offers a preconfigured, pre-validated rack-level total configuration complete with servers, software, storage, networking, and services.
“On-the-shelf, fully assembled, validated rack systems including hardware and software are available, enabling rapid deployment and getting systems online faster,” Liang explained. “This program can save customers time and design effort,”
The new cloud infrastructure was developed by Supermicro in collaboration with RedHat and Intel, and will reportedly enable customers to design and deploy their scalable cloud infrastructure in days.
Supermicro will reportedly offer companies to either purchase the service or lease its capabilities for roughly $3000 a month.
“With the RedHat OpenShift Container Platform and the JumpStart free remote access testing and validation configuration, customers can start the transition to the efficient, scalable on-prem cloud immediately,” Liang concluded.
Supermicro has been growing steadily in 2021 after the company announced a market leadership extension in the areas of AI, machine learning, high-performance computing (HPC), 3D graphics visualization, and desktop virtualization last April.
