Super Micro Computer, Inc. (SMCI), a global pioneer in enterprise computing, storage, networking solutions, and green computing technology, announced its early availability programme – JumpStart for workload testing on 3rd-Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processor-based Supermicro X12 systems.
Develop, validate, and tune
The program starts on February 16, 2021, and qualified customers can access remote X12-based Supermicro systems to develop, validate, tune and benchmark their advanced workloads.
Participants will get early, before general launch, access to leading-edge technologies to accelerate their solution deployment on Supermicro’s extensive portfolio of upcoming X12 Systems, including Ultra, BigTwin® SuperBlade®, GPU Optimized Systems, and Top Loading and All-Flash Storage Systems gaining significant time to market advantage for better performance and efficiency.
JumpStart programme
Supermicro has a long-lasting relationship with Intel and looks forward to supporting next-generation processors"
“The JumpStart programme demonstrates Supermicro’s continuing focus on supporting customers and giving them the earliest access to the widely anticipated 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors in Supermicro X12 platforms,” Don Clegg, senior vice president, Worldwide Sales, Supermicro.
“Supermicro has a long-lasting relationship with Intel and looks forward to supporting the industry-leading next-generation processors from Intel that targets critical markets, including Cloud, AI, HPC, and edge computing.”
Performance benefits and features
Under the JumpStart early availability programme, Supermicro customers can validate and benchmark their applications, enabling them to realise the next-gen architecture’s performance benefits and features.
Accessing the programme is easy and fast. Using Supermicro’s JumpStart portal, interested Supermicro customers under NDA who qualify can register, then configure their systems to access remote Supermicro servers through the secure portal.
Product portfolio
Supermicro has an extensive portfolio of systems including the Blades, Ultra, Twin family, GPU systems, etc
Supermicro has an extensive portfolio of systems ready to support the Intel 3rd Gen Xeon Scalable Processors, including the Blades, Ultra, Twin family, GPU systems, etc.
Customers can choose from 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processor-based blade servers for the SuperBlade 8U and 6U enclosures, enhanced performance, faster DDR4 3200 memory, and PCIe Gen4 for faster I/O.
SuperBlade 8U and 6U enclosures
The 8U SuperBlade provides customers with AIOM for front I/O and advanced networking options such as 200G HDR InfiniBand or 25G Ethernet switches.
In contrast, the 6U SuperBlade provides customers with a memory-optimised configuration with support for up to 12TB in a high-density form factor. Both the SuperBlade 8U and 6U support hot-swap NVMe, and redundant AC/DC power supplies, making them ideal for enterprise, cloud, EDA, virtualisation, and HPC applications.
Supermicro 1U and 2U Ultra SuperServers
Supermicro 1U and 2U Ultra SuperServers offer best-in-class enterprise-level performance while delivering unparalleled value, flexibility, scalability, and serviceability.
Depending on the configuration, they support the highest CPU TDPs with vast networking and expansion possibilities.
Twin, multi-node
FatTwin with 4U systems supporting 4 or 8 nodes delivers superior PUE for the highest efficiency
The Twin, multi-node product line encompasses a multitude of options for storage and server requirements. These include the BigTwin with the highest performance and density in a 2U four-node design, and AIOM networking options 1GbE, 10GbE, 25GbE, 100GbE, and IB.
The FatTwin with 4U systems supporting 4 or 8 nodes delivers superior PUE for the highest efficiency. The modular hot-swap Twin architecture enables high flexibility and serviceability.
GPU servers
Supermicro offers the industry’s broadest selection of GPU servers optimised for AI, Deep Learning, and HPC workloads, including a full line of systems from 1U up to 10U, including the SuperBlade, which supports up to 40 GPUs per 8U.
Supermicro offers high-density 2U and 4U servers with interconnected 4-GPU and 8-GPU boards and 8 PCI-E based on the four- and eight-way boards.
Performance boost
With several GPUs also available in PCIe form factor, customers can also expect a significant performance boost across Supermicro’s extensive portfolio of multi-GPU servers, including 1U Ultra, BigTwin™, 8U SuperBlade®, as well as embedded systems supporting GPUs.
These products and others will support the Intel Xeon Scalable processor-based (X12) platform. Supermicro is usually first-to-market with accelerated access to the latest technologies.
