-- The Versatility and Breadth of Ultra, Twin, SuperBlade(R), Storage, GPU

Optimized Systems Provides Exactly the Best Workload Performance for Cloud

DataCenters, Enterprise, and AI and Machine Learning  

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

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

announces the availability of the most complete server lineup supporting the

AMD EPYC(TM) 7003 Series Processors in the industry today. Supermicro's

SuperBlade on the SPECjbb 2015-Distributed achieved back-to-back world record

benchmarks on the critical-jOPS and max-jOPS tests. The SuperBlade delivered up

to a 36% improvement from the 2nd Gen to 3rd Gen of AMD EPYC CPUs(1), which is

a significant boost to satisfy performance-hungry enterprise workloads.

The Supermicro A+ line includes servers that incorporate single-socket and

dual-socket system solutions designed to reduce the time to results and drive

better business decisions. For example, the recently announced new 2U 2-node

multi-GPU server is the perfect platform for video streaming, high-end cloud

gaming, and countless social networking applications. It has market-leading

system flexibility, and cost savings will deliver uninterrupted performance.

With innovative server designs that reduce the power required while leading the

industry in performance, Supermicro paves the way with application-optimized

servers, enabling modern businesses to reduce costs and enhance their user's

experience.

"Supermicro has always led the industry in designing and manufacturing the

largest application-optimized portfolio of servers that meet the demands of our

customers," said Charles Liang, president and CEO, Supermicro. "Our building

block architecture allows us to deliver a versatile portfolio of systems that

maximize the benefits of the 3rd Gen AMD EPYC Processors for specific workloads

be it our 2U 2 Node GPU System with PCIe 4.0 for cloud gaming our 2U CloudDC

single processor high core count system for storage applications These systems

reduce TCO and the Total Cost to the Environment (TCE), which is an essential

metric as we all have the responsibility to minimize a data centers effect on

the environment."

The new 3rd Gen AMD EPYC 7003 Series Processors are designed with the "Zen3"

core that delivers up to 19% more instructions per cycle(2) than the previous

generation and contains up to 64 cores per socket for exceptional performance

on popular benchmarks and real-world workloads. The new systems from Supermicro

include a range of compute and storage systems designed for many of the most

demanding applications, for AI, HPC, Enterprise, and Cloud deployments.

"We designed the EPYC 7003 Series processors to give our customers exactly what

they said they needed, performance across all workloads, and the ability to

drive more time to value, right out of the box," said Ram Peddibhotla,

corporate vice president, EPYC product management, AMD. "With leadership

architecture, performance, and modern security features, EPYC 7003 Series

processors are a superior choice and continue to drive the standard for the

modern data center."  

The new A+ product lineup with AMD EPYC Series 7003 Processors helps leading

enterprises reduce time to solution for a wide range of applications, add

enhanced security features, and allow all workloads to be run in the cloud,

on-prem, or a private cloud. Supermicro has certified many solutions and

reference architectures that enable organizations to gain insight from their

data faster than ever before with easy deployments. These solutions include:

AI/ML/DL training inference workload-optimized, certified servers, HCI/SDI, or

software-defined storage such as VMWare vSAN, RedHat CEPH, and Weka.IO. Data

Management such as Oracle 19c, Apache Hadoop, and Cassandra and HPC application

optimization such Ansys Fluent, OpenFOAM, and WRF all show increased

performance.
