Supermicro Launches New Line of Low Power, High Density Server Solutions
As cloud, telecommunications service providers, and hosters seek to speed new service delivery and handle exponential growth in the number of users accessing their services, it is essential that they optimize infrastructure for density and cost, both in the data center and at the network edge. Inefficient data center scaling drives up space and cost and increases environmental impact, while fixed function, proprietary devices at the network edge hinder the ability of IT to rapidly deploy and manage new services. The Intel® Xeon® processor D family offers new options for infrastructure optimization, by bringing the performance and advanced intelligence of Intel® Xeon® processors into a dense, lower-power system-on-a-chip. The Intel Xeon processor D product family is Intel’s 3rd generation 64-bit SoC and the first based on Intel Xeon processor technology. It can be deployed for a variety of workloads including dynamic web serving, dedicated web hosting, warm storage, network routing, and more.
The Intel® Xeon® processor D-1500 product family provides up to 3.4x the performance of the Intel® Atom™ processor C2750 with up to 1.7x the performance per watt.
sr“Supermicro is driving our Green Computing solutions into all market segments, and our new high density server and storage solutions address growing demands for energy efficiency in Data Center and Cloud environments,” said Charles Liang, President and CEO of Supermicro. “With low power consumption, integrated 10GbE and a variety of form factors from 1U short-depth servers to mini-tower and MicroBlade, customers have even more options to attain best performance per watt, per dollar across a wide range of Embedded and Hyperscale workloads and environments.”
“The Intel Xeon Processor D-1500 product family offers advanced technology in a highly cost-effective package,” said Lisa Spelman, General Manager of Intel’s Datacenter Products Group. “Utilizing Intel’s 14nm process technology, the new Broadwell-DE SoC features a 64-bit architecture with up to 8 cores running under 45W. With experienced partners such as Supermicro developing high density platforms for our new processor family, customers will have a wide range of solutions that deliver performance within budgetary constraints.”
