Supermicro performance computing

Supermicro is a global leader in high-performance computing, powering some of the world’s most demanding data centers and cloud environments. Their innovative technology and engineering excellence help customers achieve performance and efficiency goals while reducing complexity and total cost of ownership (TCO).

They offer a comprehensive range of computing, storage, networking, software, services, and green computing solutions optimized to meet the unique requirements of data center operators. With more than 25 years of experience in designing and manufacturing industry-leading server technologies, they are uniquely qualified to help you grow your business with high-performance computing.

Here are just a few ways that they help you expand your business:

【Increased Performance】With their servers, you can achieve significantly higher performance at a lower TCO.

Their servers are unique in the industry with their highly efficient, high-performance multi-core processors and memory architecture. With their innovative design, Supermicro solutions deliver up to three times more computing power per watt versus traditional servers using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components—and as much as 50% less energy consumption compared to competitor COTS systems that require additional hardware or software for virtualization. This increased performance can help you improve your product’s time to market by shortening your development cycle while improving quality and reducing costs.

【Improved Scalability】Supermicro builds on its decades of expertise designing server platforms so customers can scale right from one node to thousands without any downtime. Customers can start with one server and scale out to thousands of servers as the business grows—with no need for forklifts or data center moves.

They boast a broad portfolio of single-socket, dual-socket (compute and storage), four-, eight-, 12-, 16-, 24-node, 32-node, 64-node systems built on a common platform. It is designed from the ground up to support virtualization and cloud computing so you only have to pay for what you use now while having the flexibility to grow your compute power in line with future needs—without wasting money buying more than needed today. And because the products are compatible with other industry standards such as PCI Express®, InfiniBand®, Ethernet, and SATA, you can save money.

【Increased Efficiency】Their servers are also designed for extreme efficiency, with features such as 80 PLUS® Titanium power supplies and support for the latest energy-saving technologies.

Their high-efficiency designs can help you reduce your data center cooling costs by up to 50%. In addition, their low acoustic noise levels make them ideal for use in quiet environments.

【Seamless Integration】Supermicro provides a broad range of server solutions that are fully integrated and preloaded with the most popular operating systems, applications, and middleware software so you can be productive right out of the box.

They offer comprehensive product lines based on industry-standard architectures that minimize time-to-market requirements and allow easy integration of third-party technologies. In addition, they offer a wide range of services and support to help you get your new server up and running quickly—and keep it that way with the lowest possible TCO.

【High-performance Computing】Supercomputing is an integral part of life today from weather forecasting to financial risk management, traffic control, manufacturing optimization, genomics research, oil discovery/oil production analysis for safer drilling operations as well as drug design. With the exponential growth in computing performance over recent years, companies are seeking greater levels of scalability beyond what can be achieved by simply adding more nodes or blade servers into their data centers because this approach does not always provide sustainable benefits due to increasing power and cooling requirements and constraints on physical space.

Supermicro offers a wide range of high-performance computing (HPC) solutions that can help you achieve the scalability, efficiency, and compatibility needed to succeed in this growing market. Designed for ultimate performance and flexibility, their HPC systems are based on industry-standard architectures and offer extreme expandability to meet your ever-changing needs.

From one node to thousands, they have the right system for your supercomputing requirements. They are unique in the industry with their highly efficient, high-performance multi-core processors and memory architecture. With their innovative design, Supermicro solutions deliver up to three times more computing power per watt versus traditional servers using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components—and even more when compared to other industry solutions built on Intel Xeon processors alone.

Nearly half of the world’s fastest supercomputers are powered by China’s ‘Tianhe-II,’ which is ranked as the #17 system in the latest Top500 list with a performance level of almost 33 petaflops per second (Pflop/s). In addition, all 20 of the new systems from Japan and Germany use our technology because it allows them to easily scale up or down their compute power based on current needs while reducing costs through energy efficiency for peak processing power during off-hours. Their HPC expertise also offers flexible support for InfiniBand networks, critical for many scientific computing applications that require high-performance network connections.

Supermicro Scale-Out Networking (SONETM) is an innovative design that has the flexibility to support different topologies, including traditional tree and leaf designs as well as hypercube architectures for more advanced applications. It can also provide oversubscription of up to 20:1 allowing you to wisely manage access bandwidth without wasting available capacity on unused links. 

Their HPC solutions are built with high-density form factors providing 40% greater density than COTS servers, which allows you to deploy more compute power in a single rack while reducing your total cost of ownership by minimizing floor space requirements and electrical consumption from additional cooling equipment.
