Supermicro UIO servers allow users to select from a wide range of I/O options to provide the ultimate in storage and networking flexibility. When installed, a Supermicro UIO card becomes part of the serverboard, and the system still retains all of its PCI-Express and PCI-X slots for expansion cards. In addition to enabling customizable configurations and optimization for a wide range of application requirements, Supermicro UIO servers also provide cost advantages and investment protection.
Future upgrades can be achieved by replacing the UIO card and/or expansion cards instead of replacing entire systems. Without any UIO or expansion cards, a UIO system functions as a cost-effective server. With a UIO card installed, one UIO server supports SAS/SATA RAID5, 4Gbit Ethernet, 10Gbit Ethernet, or Infiniband. This versatility minimizes the number of servers customers require to operate their business.
