The Past Decade

Over the past decade, Supermicro has designed and built systems that are energy efficient, which reduces the costs of operating a modern data center. Supermicro currently collaborates with leading companies in diverse industries, such as those in social networking, autonomous driving business, semiconductor manufacturing, and research organizations, to reduce the power usage effectiveness (PUE) of their large data center to about 1.06, resulting in lower electricity costs and a lower TCO. Significant reductions in E-waste have also been realized with the Supermicro disaggregated design approach and Rack Scale PnP solutions.

In addition to its well-established manufacturing facilities in Silicon Valley, Taiwan, and The Netherlands, Supermicro is expanding its reach with a new facility in Malaysia. With the ability to deliver over 4000 racks/month, Supermicro can quickly deliver advanced Total IT solutions worldwide. In addition, the Made in the USA program gives customers confidence in Supermicro’s supply chain integrity.

Supermicro’s mission in the coming years is to develop low PUE data center Building Block Solutions®, collaborating with partners and customers to drive toward liquid cooling adoption in 20% of worldwide data center deployments. With liquid and free air cooling, data centers can easily achieve a PUE approaching 1.06 or even lower, reducing the need for an additional 20 billion trees to be planted for carbon offset.
