New server addresses critical need for high-density petascale storage system with balanced NUMA architecture
Supermicro, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI), a total IT solution provider for cloud, AI/ML, storage and 5G/Edge, announces the latest addition to its revolutionary petascale, high-density, all-flash NVMe server family. Supermicro systems in this high-performance storage family support the next-generation EDSFF form factor, including the E3.S and E1.S devices, in form factors that accommodate 16 and 32 high-performance PCIe Gen5 NVMe drive bays.
The first offering of the updated lineup supports up to half a petabyte of storage in a 1U 16-bay rackmount system, followed by a full petabyte of storage in a 2U 32-bay rackmount system for Intel and AMD PCIe Gen5 platforms. All Supermicro systems supporting either the E1.S or E3.s form factor allow customers to take advantage in various application-optimized servers.
EDSFF (Enterprise and Datacenter Standard Form Factor) is an industry standard developed and maintained by SNIA. This group continues to develop standards for data storage and specifications for data centers. The EDSFF-specified storage devices are available in a range of capacities and performance classes, and have greater scalability and maintainability than previous generations of storage devices. The EDSFF form factor storage uses the NVMe protocol with the same PCIe interface and edge connectors.
“Supermicro continues to meet the needs of our users with innovative solutions for today’s and tomorrow’s workloads,” said Charles Liang, President and CEO of Supermicro. “With up to a petabyte of storage in a standard rackmount system, users can quickly and easily access massive amounts of data. The new storage system is compact and energy efficient and offers our users the lowest latency and highest bandwidth in the industry. The performance and capacity of these new systems enable customers to gain insights using advanced AI technologies. With our Building block architecture allows us to bring the latest technologies to market faster and provide users with advanced systems as part of our total solutions for IT rack-scale offerings.”
As CPU, GPU and memory technologies advance, the speed and amount of data processed by modern computing clusters continues to increase. Therefore, improved storage performance is also required to forward the data to the applications without creating a bottleneck that slows down the entire system. Supermicro’s petascale all-flash servers offer industry-leading storage performance and capacity, enabling customers to reduce the number of rackmount systems needed to meet their storage needs at the hot and warm tiers, thereby reducing TCO reduce.
The new Intel-based systems are powered by dual, 4th generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors with up to 270 W TDP and contain up to 32 DIMMs with DDR5-4800 MHz memory with a total storage capacity of 8 TB. In addition, 4 AMD fourth-generation EPYC™ processors power the AMD-based systems with up to 350 W TDP and 24 DIMMs with DDR5-4800MHz memory. These systems are designed for compute-intensive applications with massive I/O requirements and large in-memory requirements.
Two full-height, half-length PCIe Gen5 x16 slots support advanced xPUs and intelligent NICs, enabling users to streamline their operations by taking advantage of the emerging NVMe-over-Fabric or GPU-accelerated storage solutions that are driving changes in introduce the traditional IT world. Two additional Supermicro PCIe Gen5 x16 AIOM (Advanced I/O Module) slots provide improved field serviceability and plug-in compatibility with a wide range of off-the-shelf OCP 3.0 network cards. The all-new symmetric NUMA-Balance architecture reduces latency by providing the shortest signal paths to drives, balanced bandwidth to storage, and flexible networking options. The symmetrical design also allows for even airflow across the entire system, allowing the use of more powerful processors.
