  -- The Total Rack Solution for Enterprise Kubernetes Containers, Based on

     RedHat OpenShift Delivers the Turn-Key Simplicity of Cloud Computing with

     On-Prem Infrastructure Cost Savings of up to 70%*

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

storage, networking solutions, and green computing technology, announced a free

remote access testing and validation program (https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3289662-1&h=3573010585&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.supermicro.com%2Fen%2Fsolutions%2Frack-plug-and-play%3Futm_source%3DPress%2Brelease%26utm_medium%3DPress%2B%26utm_campaign%3DRack%2BPlug%2B%2526%2BPlay%2BCloud%2BJumpStart&a=program) - JumpStart for the Supermicro Rack Plug and Play Cloud Infrastructure.

The Supermicro Rack Plug and Play Cloud Infrastructure solution eliminates the

burden of designing and deploying a custom in-house cloud solution with a

preconfigured, pre-validated rack-level total configuration with the servers,

software, storage, networking, and services for a world-class cloud

infrastructure.  With the Supermicro JumpStart program, users can execute

remote access testing and validation for their workloads on the cloud solution

before deployment.

As more customers feel the burden of rising hosted cloud costs, many are

looking to repatriate cloud workloads on lower-cost in-house infrastructure.

Still, they want to avoid the requirement of building a custom in-house

solution.  Supermicro, in collaboration with RedHat and Intel, has introduced a

turn-key solution that will allow customers to bring up a scalable cloud

infrastructure in days instead of weeks or months. The base configuration can

be purchased outright or can be leased for approximately $3,000 per month(1).

The flat fee model eliminates unforeseen usage charges - the more you use it,

the more you save.

"The Supermicro Rack Plug and Play Cloud Infrastructure program provides

game-changing cost and performance efficiencies for today's enterprise," said

Charles Liang, president, and CEO, Supermicro. "On-the-shelf, fully assembled,

validated rack systems including hardware and software are available, enabling

rapid deployment and getting systems online faster. This program can save

customers time and design effort. Our latest JumpStart initiative leverages

Intel CPUs, Intel Optane Persistent Memory, All-Flash NVMe Storage, and 100GbE

Networking for world-class performance.  With the RedHat OpenShift Container

Platform and the JumpStart free remote access testing and validation

configuration, customers can start the transition to the efficient, scalable

on-prem cloud immediately."

The Supermicro JumpStart configuration is an entry-level option from the

complete portfolio of Supermicro Rack Plug and Play Cloud Infrastructure

solutions that include additional performance, modularity, high capacity, and

extreme designs. These turn-key solutions include the rack, cabling, power, and

cooling infrastructure to simplify solution deployment at scale.  It can

support hundreds of instances and containers with up to a 70%* better TCO than

hosted cloud offerings.  

"Red Hat OpenShift is the industry's leading enterprise Kubernetes platform and

provides greater consistency across any infrastructure to better build, deploy

and manage applications at scale," said Joe Fernandes, vice president, and

general manager Core Cloud Platforms, Red Hat. "By combining the power of

OpenShift with Intel's processors and Supermicro's cloud infrastructure

solution, organizations can reduce costs and not only support immediate

workload requirements but also better address future growth requirements as

needed on more sophisticated systems. We are pleased to collaborate with

Supermicro and Intel to help support customers across the open hybrid cloud."

"Intel is collaborating with Supermicro to make available a fully configured

and ready to go cluster of systems with the latest Intel Xeon processors for

testing of innovative software solutions," said Rose Schooler, Corporate Vice

President, Global Data Center Sales at Intel. "Our 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable

processors with built-in AI accelerators enable a new class of applications to

be developed, delivering outstanding performance."

With the Supermicro JumpStart free remote access program, Supermicro customers

can start immediately to validate and benchmark their applications, enabling

hands-on experience with the solution. Accessing the program is easy and fast.
