Technology: SuperBlade wins best-of-class green IT award

San Jose, Calif., (ANTARA News/PRNewswire-AsiaNet) - Super Micro Computer, Inc. (Nasdaq: SMCI), a leader in application-optimized, high performance server solutions, today announced that its latest SuperBlade(TM) solutions won the Best Green Data Center Solution award at BladeSystems Insight 2008 over such notables as HP, IBM, Dell and Sun. Supermicro DatacenterBlade(TM) and OfficeBlade(TM) systems feature 93%* power supply efficiency and deliver unprecedented performance-per-watt when combined with Supermicro thermal and design technologies.

"Industry-leading performance combined with unmatched, earth-friendly power efficiency as well as our advanced S3-Blade architecture, make Supermicro SuperBlade(TM) the best choice for all server environments seeking to optimize both performance and power consumption," said Charles Liang, president and CEO of Supermicro. "In today's cost-sensitive market, our superior performance-per-watt blade servers help our customers save up to $6000 on electrical bills per enclosure over three years* and reduce their total cost of ownership (TCO). As the chair of the Climate Savers Computing Initiative (CSCI) APAC region, Supermicro is strongly committed to the CSCI mission to reduce worldwide computer power consumption 50 percent by 2010. With that goal in mind, our DatacenterBlade(TM) systems typically consume only 160 watts/DP blade under an average Internet Search Engine workload. This energy reduction coupled with the savings from reduced cooling costs, translates into tens of millions of dollars savings for large data centers*."

"The latest Intel chipset and processor technology, allows companies like Supermicro to provide new levels of power efficiency and performance," said Lorie Wigle, General Manager of Eco-Technology Program Office at Intel Corporation and president of the Climate Savers Computing Initiative (CSCI). "The energy-efficient performance of the Intel(R) Xeon(TM) processor helps enable the highly efficient designs and performance-per-watt of Supermicro's blade solutions, helping customers to reduce power consumption and save money on their energy bills."

For the ultimate in energy efficiency (93%*) and performance-per-watt (290 GFLOPS/kW*), Supermicro has introduced the SBI-7425C blade server optimized for its new 14-blade 7U DatacenterBlade(TM) enclosure (SBE-714D), which is ideal for green data center environments and HPC applications of any size. In addition, the new SBI-7125C blade server in the 10-blade 7U OfficeBlade(TM) enclosure provides industry-leading energy efficiency and low-noise operation at less than 50dB, making it an excellent choice for office environments or a personal supercomputer.

Performance-per-watt is a measure of computational green efficiency that is calculated as GFLOPS (billions of floating point operations per second) divided by the power consumed (in kW) of a given system. LINPACK, an industry benchmark for HPC systems, is used to measure system performance in GFLOPS. Total power consumption was measured during LINPACK operation. The resulting ratio provides a normalized method to compare the green efficiency between servers.

Supermicro unveils whisper-quiet high-end workstation

San Jose, California, (ANTARA News/PRNewswire-AsiaNet) - Super Micro Computer, Inc. (Nasdaq: SMCI), a leader in application optimized, high-performance server and workstation solutions, today unveiled its whisper-quiet family of SuperWorkstations with the debut of its dual-processor (DP) 7045 A-C3, 7045 A-CT, and uni-processor (UP) 5035 B-T+ systems.

These quiet (28dB*) systems sharply boost overall system performance (up to 30 per cent*), increase energy savings with new high-efficiency power supplies and energy-saving DDR2/DDR3 memory, and provide optimum cooling across all CPU speeds.

"Supermicro's 7045 A-C3, 7045 A-CT and 5035 B-T+ SuperWorkstations all feature innovative new whisper-quiet (28dB) complete system designs, which implement our acoustically optimized thermal technology," said Charles Liang, CEO and president of Supermicro.

"These systems provide many benefits to our customers with up to a 30 per cent* boost in performance, 20 per cent* energy savings in the memory system, and sub-30dB whisper-quiet operation."

Engineered to maximize energy savings, the 7045 A-C3 and 7045 A-CT workstations feature Supermicro's new X7DCA-3 and X7DCA-i motherboards, respectively, which are based on the Intel 5100 (San Clemente) chipset. With dual PCI-Express x16 slots, 7.1 high-definition audio, and dual IEEE 1394 a ports, these high-end systems are excellent choices for computer-aided design, graphics rendering and gaming applications.

Designed for the latest 45nm 1333 MHz FSB Xeon 5400 and 5200 series processors, these super-efficient systems utilize cost-effective and efficient DDR2 memory up to 667MHz for 20 per cent energy savings* compared to FB-DIMM memory.

Facilitating excellent storage expansion, the high-end SuperWorkstation 7045 A-C3 features eight hot-plug SAS drives with RAID 0, 1 and 10 support and optional RAID 5, while the cost-effective 7045 A-CT supports up to 6 terabytes (TB) of hot-plug SATA storage capacity.

For maximum graphics and memory performance in a mid-tower UP platform, the 5035 B-T+ features a quiet and efficient 465-watt power supply, two native PCI-Express 2.0 x16 slots and DDR3 1333 MHz memory support. PCI-Express 2.0 doubles the I/O bandwidth to 5 Gb/s per lane from 2.5 Gb/s and is fully compatible with PCI-E 1.1 graphics cards. DDR3 memory provides data transfers up to 1.6 Gb/s, which is twice the bandwidth of DDR2 (at 0.8 Gb/s).

The 5035 B-T+ is based on Supermicro's C2SBX motherboard, which supports Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Extreme, Quad, and Duo processors, 8-channel high-definition audio, and features two IEEE 1394 a headers along with two PCI-X slots that provide great connectivity to digital media and outstanding I/O bandwidth.

Supermicro's new acoustically optimized thermal design enables these Supermicro systems to achieve 28dB, which is considered quieter than the noise level of a whisper-quiet library environment.
