Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ: SMCI), a leader in application-optimised, high performance server solutions - and represented in Southern Africa by its sole distributor, Pinnacle Micro - has unveiled its high-end 1U and 2U SuperServers optimised for 2.5-inch SAS hard disk drives.
Francois Lottering, Supermicro product manager at Pinnacle Micro, said the high-density SuperServer 1025C-UR and SuperServer 1025W-UR both support eight hot-swappable 2.5-inch SAS hard disk drives and feature Supermicro's flexible Universal I/O (UIO) architecture to support up to three add-on cards in a standard 1U form factor. With 16 hot-swap 2.5-inch SAS drive trays, Supermicro's 2U SuperServer 2025W-UR+ supports up to 128GB FBD memory, including 1.5V low-voltage memory support.
"Enterprise and energy-conscious customers recognise the cost-saving and performance advantages of migrating to 2.5-inch hard drives. These new DP Xeon SuperServers offer superior flexibility and performance-per-watt, making them the best choice available," said Charles Liang, CEO and president of Supermicro. "By combining our high-efficiency power supply, motherboard and thermal design technology with the energy-saving advantages of 2.5-inch disk drives, customers typically save $225 to $360* over three years. In addition to lower latency, 2.5-inch drives enable higher aggregate I/O bandwidth, empowering these servers to deliver up to 50% greater system performance in the same footprint."
Supermicro's versatile SuperServer 1025C-UR and SuperServer 1025W-UR are optimised for high-end, high performance server applications and support eight hot-swap 2.5-inch drive bays. Advanced features include Universal I/O (UIO) support for up to three add-on cards and high-efficiency, redundant power supplies for high availability. Based on the low-power Intel 5100 (San Clemente) chipset, the 1025C-UR maximises energy and cost savings with native DDR2 memory support and offers the benefit of a very long product life cycle (up to seven years). For maximum performance, the SuperServer 1025W-UR, based on the Intel 5400 (Seaburg) chipset, supports 1600MHz CPU bus and 800MHz memory along with two PCI-Express 2.0 expansion slots, doubling the I/O bandwidth.
Also based on the Seaburg chipset, the 2U SuperServer 2025W-UR+ supports up to 128GB of memory in 16 FB-DIMM slots. Other high-performance features include four PCI-Express 2.0 expansion slots (including one UIO slot), support for 16 2.5-inch drives, and high-efficiency redundant power supplies to deliver maximum availability and energy savings.
