SuperBlade is first to market with the highest density server
solution, maximum I/O flexibility, optimized cost for 100Gb/s
throughput and reduced latency
SAN JOSE, California,
June 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI), a global leader
in compute, storage and networking technologies including green
computing, delivers the Intel® Omni-Path Architecture
(Intel® OPA) in the new generation, high-performance,
X11 8U/4U SuperBlade® systems supporting the upcoming
Intel® Xeon® Processor Scalable Family (codenamed
Skylake).
The X11 SuperBlade® is a density and performance
optimized solution for high performance and Artificial Intelligence
applications. The SuperBlade system supports up to 20x 2-socket
servers,10x 4-socket servers or 20x Xeon® Phi based servers, as
well as 1x 100G Intel® OPA or 100G EDR InfiniBand switch
and 2x 10G/25G or 4x 25G Ethernet switches, with open industry
standard remote management software for both servers, storage and
networking. The integrated 100G Intel OPA switch is optimized for
applications that require lowest latency and highest throughput. It
can scale to thousands of nodes for high-performance workloads and
provides adaptive routing to discover the least congested path,
dispersive routing for multiple routes for redundancy and load
balancing, packet integrity protection to allow the recovery of
transient errors and lane scaling to deal with lane failure. The
enclosure has optional Battery Backup Power (BBP®) modules
replacing high cost datacenter UPS systems for reliability and data
protection.
"Our SuperBlade platform integrated with the Intel Omni Path
Architecture based switch provides a dense HPC solution optimized
with a low 100ns latency and maximized 100 Gb/s throughput for
enhanced reliability and quality of service," said Charles Liang, President and CEO of Supermicro.
"Larger HPC deployments will benefit from best in class density,
maximum processing performance and integrated high performance
fabric provided by the new SuperBlade."
"Intel Omni-Path Architecture delivers the high performance,
reliable and cost effective interconnect demanded by HPC," said
Scott Misage, General Manager for
High-Performance Fabric at Intel. "Supermicro with their innovative
X11 SuperBlade builds on this foundation to offer a compelling,
high density solution for HPC users."
A 4U/8U X11 based SuperBlade is a scalable, modular solution
that includes:
- 20x 2-socket X11 based blade servers or
- 10x 4-socket X11 based blade servers or
- 20x next-generation Intel® Xeon Phi™ processor 72x5
product family based servers (codenamed Knights Mill) Shipping in
Q4'17
- 100G Intel® Omni-Path Architecture switching and
extensive additional networking options
- 96% efficient redundant Titanium Level power supplies
- Integrated Battery Backup Power (BBP) modules replacing high
cost datacenter UPS systems for reliability and data protection
(Optional)
Supermicro will demonstrate the SuperBlade with the Intel
Omni-Path Architecture based switch at the ISC High Performance
2017 event in Messe Frankfurt,
Germany, June 18-22, 2017.
