"Supermicro is delivering the most performant energy saving systems, pushing

the envelope with new systems incorporating the latest Intel processors," said

Charles Liang, president and CEO, Supermicro. "Our new Hyper product line is

designed for maximum performance and can house 32 DIMMs of high-speed memory,

four high-performance GPUs, and up to 400 Gbit LAN, which supports our

customers' most demanding requirements. We work closely with technology

partners across the industry to deliver a broad range of servers and storage

systems optimized for many workloads and delivering the best solutions, from

the highest performance systems, like Hyper or our Delta GPU deep learning

optimized platform, to cost-efficient TCO optimized platforms, such as our new

2U 2-Node video streaming platform. We are proud to design and manufacture

these systems at our Silicon Valley headquarters and our rapidly expanding

Taiwan facilities."  

Most Comprehensive Range of Systems with Innovative Technology

The entire line of over 100 application-optimized systems, including Hyper,

SuperBlade(R), the Twin Product Family (BigTwin (R), TwinPro (R), and FatTwin

(R)), Ultra, CloudDC, GPU, Telco/5Gand Edge servers, feature the 3rd Gen Intel

Xeon Scalable processors. The top-of-the-line Intel Xeon Platinum 8380

processor with 40 cores running at 2.3 GHz in the Ultra and Hyper platforms

delivers leadership performance.  The network-optimized CPUs are leveraged in a

comprehensive portfolio of 5G and embedded edge systems. The Big Twin

multi-node and SuperBlade systems with Intel Speed Select CPUs deliver

flexibility and efficiency for Cloud Service Providers. Also, the

single-processor WIO and storage systems bring compelling cost savings for

general purpose and storage applications. The portfolio includes water cooled

configurations for high power CPUs in high-density systems in HPC installations

with a direct liquid cooling option to remove the limitations of traditional

air-cooling for heat dissipation and thus lowers overall data center operating

costs.

"Our 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors have been designed to deliver true

flexibility. They are the only data center processors with built in AI

acceleration and are built to serve all workloads from edge to cloud. Our

partnership with Supermicro enables innovative IT providers from every industry

to deliver quality services across all of these workloads and adapt quickly

while providing consistent performance," stated Lisa Spelman, Corporate Vice

President and General Manager of the Xeon and Memory Group. "We continue to

work closely with Supermicro to deliver more value to customers by creating and

enabling solutions that solve their greatest challenges."

With Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning growth, Supermicro has

introduced a portfolio of new GPU systems based on 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable

processors. These systems leverage the 2X increase in PCI-E 4.0 I/O to deliver

improved workload performance. The portfolio includes highly integrated 4U 8

GPU systems for large training workloads, and 2U 2-Node single processor GPU

systems with improved power efficiency for cloud gaming and streaming. The

CloudDC platform, with a balanced architecture with dedicated I/O and all-flash

storage for each CPU, enables the system to deliver lower latency, higher

performance, and allows remote direct memory access (RDMA) in large-scale cloud

environments.

The Supermicro X12 product lineup also includes 5G edge-optimized systems,

including the Ultra-E, Hyper-E, and the 2U UP 210P Edge server. The

high-performance Hyper-E delivers unparalleled processing power and expansion

capability while meeting demanding telco requirements, such as NEBS Level 3

certification, short system depth, and front-accessible I/O. The Hyper-E is

ideal for 5G networks and edge applications that require local processing and

need to include AI algorithms in a small form factor within low power and

thermally restrictive environments. At the edge, Supermicro, with its broad

lineup of X12 systems, can easily support a range of data collection,

computing, and AI requirements.

"As we build the nation's first cloud-based 5G network, Intel and Supermicro

will help maximize the power of next-generation connectivity from the core to

the edge," said Sidd Chenumolu, DISH Vice President of Technology Development.

"DISH has worked with both companies for a long time, and we are pleased to

continue this great partnership."

Supermicro has already deployed systems with leading high-performance computing

research institutions, including Cybermedia Center Osaka University that is

implementing the 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processor-based systems for the

supercomputing system named SQUID (Supercomputer for Quest to Unsolved

Interdisciplinary Data science).

"Researchers and scientists in Osaka University are now working on their own

research projects in the hope of bringing open innovation to our society. We

are excited to leverage the latest generation of Intel and Supermicro's

solutions for advanced scientific research projects necessitating HPC

(High-Performance Computing) and HPDA (High-Performance Data Analysis)." - Dr.

Susumu Date Cybermedia Center, Osaka University.

Additionally, the X12 product line allows customers to extract more value from

larger datasets to take advantage of the latest Intel Optane persistent memory

200 series. The new X12 systems can access data faster, with twice the I/O

performance utilizing PCI-E 4.0. With support for up to eight memory channels

per socket running at 3200Mhz, more memory can be directly addressed at higher

speeds, increasing application performance by up to 46% on popular benchmarks.  

The new X12 systems have improved security and management capabilities. With

full memory encryption, the X12 portfolio is more secure than any previous

generation of Supermicro systems, giving enterprises the confidence to protect

valuable customer data and deliver results securely. Supermicro's SuperServers

support Intel's Software Guard Extensions, which provide enclaves of protected

memory to run applications and their data.

The Supermicro X12 servers also have a new intelligent management system with

enhanced security with hardware Root of Trust (ROT), Redfish 1.8 support, and

an improved Supermicro Intelligent Management web interface. Supermicro's cloud

infrastructure management software, SuperCloud Composer, now features support

for X12 platforms, bringing speed, agility, and simplicity to IT administration

by integrating data center tasks into a single intelligent management solution.

The SuperCloud Composer also monitors and manages the broad portfolio of

multi-generation Supermicro servers and third-party systems through its data

center lifecycle management feature.

Several architected solutions using the 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors

are coming soon and will be available from Supermicro, including Oracle Linux

and SAP-certified solutions. Many different workloads will benefit from these

new processors, including HPC, AI, Enterprise, and Cloud workloads.
