SAN JOSE, California, June 19, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

-- Featuring a Balanced Design Maximizing Compute, Storage, and I/O Resources,

the New SuperServer Supports Four 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Processors, up to

18TB of System Memory Capacity, 24 Hot-swap NVM-e drives, and Enhanced Security

Super Micro Computer, Inc. (Nasdaq: SMCI), a global leader in enterprise

computing, storage, networking solutions and green computing technology, today

launched a new high-performance X12 generation 4-socket SuperServer optimized

for the new 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Processors (codenamed Cooper Lake) and

Intel Optane Persistent Memory 200 series (codenamed Barlow Pass), which were

both officially launched by Intel today. The tremendous growth in applications

and use cases that require real-time analysis and manipulation of big data has

helped Supermicro's 4-socket server family to be one of the fastest-growing

product lines in recent times.

"As Supermicro's first X12 generation system, this new 4-socket server is our

most robust enterprise-class platform featuring the most powerful Intel Xeon

Scalable Processors, Intel Optane Persistent Memory, and a new silicon based

Root-of-Trust implementation for enhanced security," said Charles Liang, CEO

and president of Supermicro. "This new SuperServer provides a powerful and

trusted foundation for your most secure and mission critical workloads in

enterprise, cloud-scale, or hybrid environments."

This new Supermicro 2U 4-socket server is the newest generation of a long line

of proven, enterprise class, 4-socket Supermicro platforms which have powered

some of the most demanding workloads such as SAP HANA, Oracle Enterprise

Applications & Database, in-memory computing, and emerging AI use cases for

some of the top enterprises & hyperscalers in the world. This platform features

the latest Intel CPU and storage technologies: up to 112 Xeon cores in its 4

CPU sockets and up to 18TB of system memory, when provisioned in a mix of DDR

and Intel Optane Persistent Memory.  CPU interconnects have been doubled from 3

UPI lanes to 6 UPI lanes for vastly improved system latency and throughput.

Finally, this latest Intel Xeon Scalable platform adds support for the bfloat16

numeric format into Intel Deep Learning Boost, which accelerates AI training

and inference, while retaining similar accuracy to larger FP32 formats.  

Other new features supported by this new server include:

    - Up to 24 NVMe drives connected through direct PCI-E lanes

      symmetrically to the four CPUs for faster access to storage

    - Supports 100Gb/s networking along with OCP3.0 compliant Advanced IO

      Module form-factor

    - Enhanced security features such as new silicon-based Root-of-Trust

     (RoT) implementation, signed and encrypted firmware delivery for a

      true, immutable chain-of-trust    

"Platforms based on the new 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processor, such as the

Supermicro X12 SuperServer, are ready to take on the biggest AI, analytics and

mission-critical application challenges," said Lisa Spelman, Corporate Vice

President and General Manager of the Xeon and Memory Group at Intel.  "These

platforms extend the Intel Xeon processor's lead in built-in AI acceleration as

well as the capacity and performance benefits of Intel Optane persistent

memory."

In addition to the latest Intel technologies, this new Supermicro quad-socket

SuperServer supports up-to ten PCI-E expansion slots capable of fitting two

double width, or six single-width GPU cards.  Power and thermal subsystems are

capable of zero-down time maintenance with hot-swappable, redundant 2000-watt

high-efficiency power supplies and four hot-swappable, heavy duty fans.
