Supermicro Launches Over 30 Server Platforms With Newest Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5100 Series
X7 Lineup Optimized for System Performance, Energy Efficiency and Reliability
San Jose, CA, June 26, 2006 - Super Micro Computer, Inc., a leader in high-quality servers, chassis and serverboards, today announced the immediate availability of more than thirty X7 server platforms based on Intel's newest Dual-Core Xeon 5100 series processors (codenamed Woodcrest). System-level breakthroughs in design, energy efficiency and thermal reliability now enable greater versatility and a correspondingly lower total cost of ownership (TCO) than previous Xeon generations.
A popular model, the high-density SuperServer 6015B-8+/T+ leverages the X7DBR-8+/i+ serverboard to support up to 64GB of fully buffered (FBD) DDR2 memory via 16 DIMM slots in a 1U form factor that includes four hot-swap SCSI/SATA drive bays and a 700-watt high-efficiency power supply. This platform not only doubles system performance and memory capacity, but also reduces energy costs while operating at lower temperatures versus previous generations.
"Our new SuperServers combine earth-friendly, high-efficiency Supermicro power supplies with energy-efficient Woodcrest processors to maximize performance-per-watt benefits and reduce customer TCO," notes Charles Liang, president and CEO of Supermicro. "With 5% or greater efficiency than competitor's systems, customers typically realize energy savings of up to $200 per server over three years and also enjoy double the performance when compared with previous generation solutions."
"Supermicro offers an extremely broad selection of high-quality serverboards, chassis and servers based on the new Dual-Core Intel Xeon Processor 5100 series," said Boyd Davis, General Manager of Intel's Server Platform Group Marketing. "Combined with the platform ingredients announced a few weeks ago, these new processors provide industry leading energy-efficient performance, a foundation for emerging virtualized environments, and the reliability server customers demand."
