Supermicro has released details on a new GPU test-drive program. Called STEP (Supermicro Test drive Engagement with Partners), the program allows customers to remote test drive either Supermicro’s 2U HGX A100 4-GPU or 4U HGX A100 8-GPU system with NVIDIA 3rd Generation NVLink technology.

The program involves seven Supermicro partners, two in Europe and five in North America, but Supermicro sees this kind of AI-focused work is something that will become widely used, so represents a key partner opportunity.

Customers can test drive Supermicro’s 2U HGX A100 4-GPU or 4U HGX A100 8-GPU system with Nvidia third generation NVLink technology as part of a GPU programme initiated by Supermicro.

With increased awareness of climate change and harmful waste, data center operators are attending to the environmental impact of their data centers. This leads to more efficient hardware, cooling techniques, design approaches that drive down energy usage and e-waste, and greater sourcing of clean power. These trends will only accelerate in 2021, as data center operators use climate change mitigation as a means to attract customers.
