SAN JOSE, Calif., July 27, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--

   -- Customers Can Leverage Multiple Expansion Options with Flexible 60-bay

     and 90-bay Systems Available in Single-Node, Dual-Node, SBB, or

     JBOD Configurations

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

storage, networking solutions, and green computing technology, announced an

extension of its market-proven ultra-dense storage solutions with new 60-bay

and 90-bay solutions. These best-in-class high-capacity storage and expansion

systems are optimized for cloud-scale storage implementations as well as HPC

storage applications.

This new top-loading architecture delivers the improved flexibility,

modularity, and serviceability that customers need.  Both 60-bay and 90-bay

systems are available in single-node and dual-node configurations, where the

drives evenly split between each node. Also, the drives can be in a storage

bridge bay (SBB) configuration for high availability, in which both nodes have

access to all the drives, and one node backs up the other in case of a failure.

With a modular, tool-less design, all key onboard systems – hot-swap server

nodes, expanders, fan modules, power supplies, and drives – are fully optimized

for easy serviceability by a single technician.

"Anticipating changing market dynamics and high growth in software-defined,

cloud-based storage, Supermicro can help data centers to rapidly modernize

their equipment to leverage flexible architectures, tool-less design

modularity, and simple expansion capabilities," said Charles Liang, president

and CEO of Supermicro. "Our new high-capacity storage systems continue

Supermicro's focus on resource-saving and deliver industry-leading capacity per

watt for a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) and lower total cost to the

environment (TCE)."

Supermicro's new high-capacity top-loading systems are optimized for enterprise

environments, and support scale-up and scale-out architectures. These 4U

systems feature 60x or 90x hot-swap 2.5"/3.5" SAS3/SATA3 bays plus 2x onboard

PCI-E M.2 slots and 2x internal slim SATA SSD slots. The single-node system

also supports 2x rear hot-swap 2.5" bays for OS mirroring and optional 4x NVMe

U.2 bays for fast caching. At maximum configuration, the system supports 1,440

terabytes of cost-optimized storage. The single- and dual-node systems use 2nd

Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors in a dual-socket configuration with

16x DIMM slots per server node.
