Supermicro goes EPYC
 

SuperMicro is releasing new dual socket servers and upcoming single-socket solutions supporting AMD EPYC, the latest AMD family of high-performance processors.

The outfit said that the new 1U and 2U Ultra dual-socket A+ Servers, are available now and deliver unrivaled performance, flexibility, scalability, and serviceability required for demanding Enterprise mission critical environments and workloads.

Along with the AMD EPYC processors, the servers have high capacity memory, 25G/10G/1G Ethernet networking, optimised PCI-E expansion options, diverse storage alternatives including 24/10 All-Flash NVMe in 2U/1U, 2.5" and 3.5" hot-swap drive bay selections, GPU support, andTitanium Level power supplies.

Supermicro is positioning a flexible, dual-processor Tower / 4U System supporting an EATX motherboard, and single-socket Mainstream rackmount server systems that provide cost optimisation and scalable I/O choices. With high performance, lower power consumption, and reduced CAPEX, customers can match these systems to their workloads without compromise.

The Supermicro Twin products include a 2U 4-node dual-socket platform that delivers the highest data center efficiency across diverse applications and workloads, supporting up to 32-cores on AMD EPYC processors, maximum 16 DIMM slots, high I/O capacity, with a broad selection of storage options including 24 All-Flash NVMe drives. This Twin system offers optimised thermal capacity for maximum performance, efficiency and free air cooling.

The company said that the AMD EPYC processors provide outstanding core density and performance, superior memory bandwidth, and unparalleled support for high-speed input/output (I/O) channels in a single processor. Supermicro servers supporting AMD EPYC will radically lower data center TCO through an optimized balance of compute, memory, I/O, and storage resources.
