Supermicro Quad-Core Dual Processor Platforms Deliver Increased Computing Power and Ultra-High-Efficiency to Reduce TCO

    SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 15 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Super
Micro Computer, Inc., a leader in application optimized,
high performance server solutions, today announced sweeping
availability for new quad-core Intel Xeon 5300 processors,
formerly codenamed "Clovertown," on its broad
range of high-efficiency dual-processor (DP) server
solutions.  Supermicro supports new quad-core Xeon
processors on over 60 of its high-efficiency DP server
boards and systems.  This extensive portfolio of quad-core
product offerings enables customers to achieve
differentiation by selecting the Server Building Block
Solutions(R) most tailored to their specific applications.

    Accelerated quad-core performance enhances the many
feature advantages of Supermicro's high-performance
servers.  Supermicro Server Building Block Solutions(R)
provide extreme flexibility and unique application
optimization.  Examples include: Supermicro's innovative 2U
in 1U(TM) design that supports five add-on cards in a 1U
server; Universal I/O(TM) (UIO) servers that increase I/O
connectivity; 1U-Twin(TM) servers doubling compute density
in a 1U form factor; servers with 16-DIMMs for 64GB
support; and redundant power supplies for 1U servers.
Supermicro also offers an impressive selection of advanced
SAS-optimized storage solutions with RAID5 and SESII.  All
new SuperServers feature earth-friendly, high-efficiency
(85% or better under typical loading) power supplies to
maximize performance-per-watt savings and reduce total cost
of ownership (TCO).

    "Quad-core allows the unique advantages of
Supermicro's application optimized products to become even
more apparent. For example, Supermicro's ultra dense
2U-in-1U(TM) server with quad-cores, and multiple I/O
connectivity increases computational and I/O capacity which
allows users to run virtualization applications without
performance limitations," asserts Charles Liang,
President and CEO of Supermicro.  

    "The new Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor 5300
series is enabling Supermicro to provide its customers
unprecedented new levels of performance and flexibility
within DP server solutions," said Kirk Skaugen, vice
president, Digital Enterprise Group, Intel Corporation. 
"The breakthrough performance per watt of the new
Quad-Core Intel processors is enabling new levels of
complementary Supermicro innovation around highly scalable
designs from 1U to 4U and tower servers."

    Supermicro Server Building Block Solutions(R) offer
exceptional flexibility and outstanding feature advantages.
