Aligning ecological footprints with sustainability targets

The AS-2124GQ-NART is an upcoming 2U dual-socket GPU server from SuperMicro as part of its A+ server family that comes with four A100 SXM GPUs, thanks to its use of Nvidia‘s HGX A100 compute board.

A platform that we do not cover all the time is the Supermicro SuperBlade platform. They are so big that we only get to review them every so often. The last time we did was in the Xeon E5 V3/ V4 era where we reviewed a 7U Supermicro SuperBlade. Since then, Supermicro has innovated on form factors creating blade solutions at different sizes and for different markets. Recently, we were able to get some hands-on time with a trio of Supermicro SuperBlade servers in the 4U, 6U, and 8U form factors.

Supermicro has announced an extension of its market-proven ultra-dense storage solutions with new 60-bay and 90-bay solutions. These best-in-class high-capacity storage and expansion systems are optimised for cloud-scale storage implementations as well as HPC storage applications.

Supermicro, a global vendor delivering servers, storage, networking solutions, and green computing technology, has launched a new solution leveraging the Scality RING offering. Scality RING is a software-defined native file and object storage solution for large scale on-premises storage and management of unstructured data. It would enable enterprises to scale and protect their data in on-premises or hybrid cloud deployments.

Super Micro Computer, Inc. has announced that the Center for Scientific Computing (CSC) has chosen Supermicro’s 4U 8 GPU A+ server with PCI-E Gen 4 and 200Gb/s networking (AS -4124GS-TNR) as the foundation for their next generation of High-Performance Computing (HPC) servers. CSC is an initiative of the Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies, and Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main.

Supermicro Computer has announced two new systems designed for artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning applications that fully leverage the third-generation NVIDIA HGX technology with the new NVIDIA A100 Tensor Core GPUs as well as full support for the new NVIDIA A100 GPUs across the company’s broad portfolio of 1U, 2U, 4U and 10U GPU servers. NVIDIA A100 is the first elastic, multi-instance GPU that unifies training, inference, HPC, and analytics.

Die Supermicro-Storagesysteme vom Typ SSG-6049SP sind für hochskalierbare Cloudinfrastrukturen und für HPC-Storageanwendungen bestimmt. Die Toploader mit 60 oder 90 Hot-Swap-Einschüben unterstützen sowohl Scale-Up- als auch Scale-Out-Architekturen.
