Supermicro Next Generation Server Platforms with 64-bit Capability
Future SuperServers to Support 64-bit Extensions

SAN JOSE, CA (March 16, 2004) - Super Micro Computer, Inc. today announced that future SuperServer platforms will support Xeon® processors with Intel® Extended Memory 64 Technology (Intel® EM64T). Planning to ship solutions in the coming CYQ2 this year, future Xeon Processor based SuperServer systems with Intel EM64T will provide users with the versatility to run both 32-bit and 64-bit Apps., enabling them to move to 64-bit computing at their own pace while preserving their current 32-bit investment.

Supermicro leverages Intel's extended IA-32 architecture that allows the processor to run new 64-bit code and access larger amounts of memory. It provides a valuable asset to Xeon Processor based servers as it gives them more flexibility. In contrast, SuperServer 6113 and 6123 series platforms with Itanium® 2 processors deliver the top performance needed in enterprise applications and are positioned to be the industry's standard, even superceding most RISC platforms.

"It's a great technology milestone that will benefit many enterprise computing customers," commented Charles Liang, President and CEO of Supermicro. "SuperServer platforms based on Xeon Processors with Intel EM64T will nicely complement our existing SuperServer product lines with Itanium 2 processors to provide optimized solutions that address all enterprise segments."

Supermicro extends its market leadership by continuing to be first-to-market its high performance SuperServers. Supermicro offers the best price/performance line of servers in 1U, 2U, 3U, 4U, and tower configurations. Coupling innovative features: 100% air-cooling redundancy and interchangeable expansion riser slots. The SuperServers have an amazing storage capacity for up to 1TB in a 1U system and 3.75TB in a 3U system. The next generation SuperServers will support 64-bit Apps. with Xeon processors.

With SuperServer 64-bit support, customers gain significant performance and scalability in applications that require large amounts of memory or CPU intensive numeric calculations. For server applications, this includes large database servers, high-performance computing (HPC), 3D modeling & animations, queuing & weather simulations, and engineering & scientific applications.
