Supermicro Debuts New Products at VMworld 

Super Micro Computer, Inc. will highlight its new Ultra Series high memory capacity 24x DIMM, NVMe enabled servers, 2U TwinPro², 4U FatTwin SuperServer, and storage optimized 6x HDD/SSD SuperBlade solutions this week at VMworld 2014 in San Francisco, CA. These advanced server and storage solutions with VMware technologies are optimized for a wide range of virtualization applications. Headlining the event will be Supermicro’s 2U TwinPro², a VMware certified EVO: RAIL hyper-converged infrastructure appliance designed to accelerate deployment and optimize performance of virtualized environments. This scale-out solution features an optimal balance of compute, memory, storage and networking with redundant hot-swap Titanium Level, High Efficiency (96%+) Digital Power Supplies in a high-density 4-node, dual processor server appliance, simplifying virtualization across Enterprise, private/hybrid-Cloud, End-user computing and branch office environments.

“Supermicro Green Computing solutions deliver the performance, efficiency and reliability needed in highly dynamic, virtualized environments,” said Charles Liang, President and CEO of Supermicro. “From higher memory capacity and flexible expansion in our Ultra Series to maximized compute and storage density in our TwinPro, FatTwin SuperServer and SuperBlade product lines, Supermicro offers the most versatile platforms for building sophisticated hyper-converged solutions. With our new EVO: RAIL appliance, customers have the advantage of Supermicro’s architecture and service advantages combined with VMware’s virtualization expertise to significantly accelerate deployment of virtual machines and increase their overall productivity and performance per watt, per dollar, per square foot.”

“VMware EVO: RAIL is poised to significantly transform the Software-Defined Datacenter with simplified procurement, deployment, management and support in an all-in-one hyper-converged infrastructure appliance,” said Mornay Van Der Walt, vice president, Emerging Solutions Group, VMware. “Supermicro’s 2U TwinPro architecture is an excellent example of the high levels of technology integration offered in our new EVO: RAIL building blocks. Working closely with our EVO: RAIL partners, VMware is removing the complexities of system ownership and accelerating business growth with time to value to first virtual machine in minutes, all covered by world-class support services.”
