Supermicro Unveils High-Density MicroCloud Cloud Servers

New Products include Industry First 8/16 Hot-Pluggable Nodes in 3U and Up to 6 GPUs in 2U

I think this product creates a new segment of building blocks for hosting providers and “Cloud” based internet application developers. I am excited that this product will become the new standard for rack density, efficient power consumption and scalability. If

According to the News release from Supermicro:

“Supermicro is excited to unveil our latest state-of-the-art server innovations at Computex 2011” said Charles Liang, President and CEO of Supermicro. “Shaping the Future is the theme at Computex and our MicroCloud indeed reflects this by leading the industry with a new, high-performance independent node architecture.

Supermicro’s innovative MicroCloud™ (5037MC-H8TRF), is a high-density, multi-node UP server with 8/16 hot-pluggable nodes and 16 hot-swappable HDDs in a compact 3U form factor. Each independent node supports an Intel® Xeon® E3-1200 processor and a PCI-E 2.0 x8 expansion slot. MicroCloud integrates advanced technologies within a compact functional design to deliver high performance in environments with space and power limitations. The entire system is designed with efficiency in mind from its ease of maintenance to its high-efficiency, redundant Platinum Level (94%+) power modules.
