Supermicro Unveils a Broad Range of Dual-Core Xeon® Servers at IDF Fall
More than a Half-dozen Dual-Core Xeon Solutions Ready for Production
San Jose, CA, August 23, 2005 – Super Micro Computer, Inc., a leading manufacturer of high-quality motherboard, chassis and server solutions, is showcasing live dual-processor (DP) servers running new dual-core Xeon® processors at the Intel Developer Forum, booth 419, Moscone West Convention Hall, San Francisco from August 23-25.
Always a leader in server technology development, Supermicro will demonstrate a live server system based on the next-generation dual-core Xeon® processor codenamed Dempsey. The system supports up to 48 GB of ECC DDR2 fully buffered (FB) DIMM via 12 FB DIMM slots. The heart of the system is the upcoming Supermicro X7DB8 serverboard based on Intel's future chipset codenamed Blackford. This board will be released concurrently at the Intel launch of the chipset and CPU. It features a 1066MHz front side bus, supports 3 PCI-Express and 3 PCI-X-133/100 slots, and dual gigabit LAN ports. Housed in Supermicro's state-of-the-art SC743S1-R760 chassis, this server provides two Ultra320 SCSI ports, six SATA2 ports, redundant cooling fans with fan speed control, and a triple-redundant 760-watt power supply for the ultimate in system availability.
For early adoption to DP dual-core servers, the SuperServer 6014P-32R is an outstanding solution, which is in production now. Based on the current generation with 800MHz front side bus, this server is compatible with the first dual-core Xeon® processors codenamed Paxville DP, which will be available in Q4 of 2005 and can boost performance by up to 50 percent over previous generations. Featuring the Super X6DHP-3G2 serverboard in the SC816 redundant-power 1U chassis, the SS6014P-32R supports the following impressive specs: 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 4 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.
In addition to the dual-core serverboards mentioned above, Supermicro also has the X7DBR-8/i and the X7DG8/E optimized for dual-core Dempsey processors, as well as the X6DH3-G2, X6DHR-3G2, X6DA3-G2 and X6DVA-4G2 optimized for dual-core Paxville processors.
As part of Supermicro's complete line of Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)-optimized solutions, including servers, serverboards, chassis and storage mobile-racks, the SS6014P-32R supports both internal and external SAS drives. For those interested in SAS technology, Supermicro and Adaptec will host a Birds of a Feather breakfast session entitled "Migrating Servers to SAS" from 7:30-8:30 a.m. on Wednesday, August 24th at IDF to provide an in-depth look at how new servers can leverage SAS technology. The impressive performance advantages that can be achieved with this new technology will be on display for all to see at this event.
