Super Micro Computer, Inc., a global pioneer in enterprise computing, storage, networking solutions, and green computing technology announced it was selected as a Platinum recipient for VDC Research's 2020 global IoT and Edge Engineering & Development Survey.

Supermicro was recognised by survey participants for its higher performance edge devices, typically only seen in datacenter class servers that support virtualisation and workload consolidation for use cases, including AI/ML and video processing.

The survey

Respondents rated only those vendors from which they had purchased merchant computing hardware

Over 700 respondents from the Americas, EMEA, and APAC participated in the survey with each region comprising approximately 30 percent of the final results.

Participants included project/product management, CTOs, engineers, and systems integrators. Respondents rated only those vendors from which they had purchased merchant computing hardware in their most recent projects.

Superior design, highly reliable products

"We are very excited about this achievement, especially because the results come from customers contacted through VDC's independent satisfaction survey," said Charles Liang, CEO, and president of Supermicro.

"This recognition from customers validates that Supermicro delivers exceptional products first-to-market, superior design, high-reliability, resource-saving, and strong technical service and support."
