Supermicro Delivers Industry's Most Complete Multi-Core Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor Server Product Line13 October 2005
Supermicro, the leading server
solutions provider in the channel, has started to ship Dual-Core Intel(R)
Xeon(R) processor-based serverboards and server systems. Helping customers
build upon their investments in single-core Intel server solutions, Supermicro
has introduced more than ten models of dual-core server systems and
motherboards based on the existing Intel(R) E7520 chipset to ensure maximum
scalability and compatibility between single-core and dual-core platforms.
The new Dual-Core Xeon processor, codenamed "Paxville DP," delivers up to 50%
performance gain over previous generations.
"With superb engineering, Supermicro has aggressively optimized and is now
shipping a broad range of Intel E7520 chipset-based products for Intel's new
dual-core Xeon processors," said Kirk Skaugen, general manager, Intel Server
Platforms Group.
Supermicro's new server solutions take advantage of Intel technology by
passing on better value (much higher price/performance ratio) and greater
system stability (lowered thermal emission) onto its customers. The new
processors are also expected to help improve server responsiveness, speed and
multi-processing by allowing software to manage information from up to four
threads per processor.
"Supermicro has achieved being the first server manufacturer to ship
dual-core Xeon solutions," said Charles Liang, president and CEO of Supermicro
Computer, Inc. "Our dual-core Xeon products present a significant performance
upgrade over their predecessors. We have also combined them with the latest
technologies such as Serial Attached SCSI and Infiniband to create truly
optimized solutions."
The high availability SuperServer 6014P-32(R) is a redundant-powered 1U DP
dual-core Xeon server equipped with numerous high-performance features. It
supports the following impressive specifications: up to 16GB of ECC Reg.
DDR2-400 memory, two universal slots that can support either PCI-X-133/100 or
PCI-Express x8 expansion, eight SAS/SATA ports (supporting four internal hard
drives and over 100 external hard drives for JBOD), dual gigabit Ethernet
ports, optimal fan speed control, and an IPMI 2.0 socket with a 3rd LAN option
for server management.
The SS6014H-32 is a standard 1U server that supports many of the same
features as the SS6014P-32R and two universal expansion slots that support up
to two PCI-Express x8 or two PCI-X-133/100 cards. For convertible 4U/tower
systems, the SuperServer 7044H-32(R) shares a similar design along with the
following additional features: 8 internal SAS drive support, two PCI-Express
x8, 3 PCI-X-133/100, and one legacy PCI slot. Meanwhile, the SS6024H-32(R) is
a 2U server powered by the Super X6DH3-G2 serverboard, and it supports six
internal SAS drives.
Supermicro further extends its dual-core Xeon systems from SAS technology
to traditional SCSI, SATA and IDE. SCSI users will like the 2U SS6024H-82+
and the 4U SS7044H-82+ servers, while the SS6014H-i+ is a 1U server that
supports IDE/SATA hard drives. For dual-core Xeon workstations based on the
Intel 7525 chipset, the SW7044A-32 supports eight internal SAS drives while
the SW7044A-i2+ supports IDE/SATA drives. Both of these workstations feature
Supermicro's SuperQuiet power supply and fan operation.
For system builders and channel partners, Supermicro introduces several
64-bit dual-core Xeon serverboard solutions customized for different kinds of
users. Power users will like the high-end X6DH3-G2 serverboard. Its standard
features include PCI-Express expansions, ECC Reg. DDRII memory support, dual
gigabit connectivity, IPMI management option, and more. The core of this
board is the Adaptec 8-port SAS controller. It supports a fast 3Gb/s storage
access and allows backward compatibility with industry-proven parallel SCSI
software and middleware to protect existing SCSI investments and to lower
transition risks.
Rackmount server solution users will appreciate the versatility offered by
X6DHR-3G2 and the X6DHP-3G2. Both serverboards are optimized for Supermicro's
1U chassis, and they retain all the features of the high-end X6DH3-G2 plus two
universal PCI-Express slots that allow users to choose PCI-Express or PCI-X
expansion cards depending on their applications. On the cost-effective front,
the X6DVA-4G2 and X6DVA-EG2 feature the E7320 chipset and single-channel SCSI
for more cost conscious users.
On the workstation front, Supermicro has the X6DA3-G2 and the X6DAi-G2 for
graphics intensive applications. Furthermore, the X6DH8-G2+, X6DHE-G2+,
X6DHi-G2, X6DHR-EG2, X6DHR-8G2+ and X6DHR-iG2+ are high performance dual-core
Xeon-optimized serverboards with SCSI, SATA or IDE support.
