Supermicro aggiunge server basati su ARM utilizzando i processori Ampere Altra e Ampere Altra Max destinati alle applicazioni native del cloud

Supermicro, un fornitore di soluzioni IT totali per il cloud, IA/ML, Storage, e 5G/Edge, is announcing an expanded product line with exciting new ARM-based series of servers as part of the MegaDC family. Using Ampere Altra and Ampere Altra Max processors, the Mt. Hamilton platform leverages a single unified motherboard design, targeting cloud-native applications, such as Cloud Gaming, Video-on-Demand, CDN, IaaS, Banca dati, Object-Storage, dense VDI, and Telco Edge (Distributed Unit and Centralized Unit) soluzioni. Inoltre, the new servers address several objectives for cloud-native workloads, specifically delivering high performance per watt while executing scalable workloads and those that require very low latency responses.

“Supermicro continues to bolster our product line by introducing ARM-based servers, using the Ampere Altra and Altra Max CPUs,” said Ivan Tay, SVP of Product Management, Supermicro. “Expanding our already broad server product line gives customers even more choices for their specific workloads. We can quickly offer optimized application servers for customers worldwide using our Building Block Solutions approach.”

Supermicro’s MegaDC ARM-based product lines use a Building Block design which features a single socket motherboard paired with an Ampere Altra or Altra Max CPU with up to 128 cores per server (currently the highest core count in the server industry), fino 4 TB of DDR4 memory, and a modular design supporting unparalleled options for max I/O, PCIe, e stoccaggio.

The Supermicro MegaDC product line includes a range of servers with a single Ampere Altra or Altra Max CPU, in a 1U or 2U form factor, with up to four double-width GPUs or up to 24x 2.5″ Unità sostituibili a caldo U.2 NVMe. Inoltre, i sistemi includono una rete Ethernet 25GbE SFP28 ridondante su scheda che utilizza NVIDIA Mellanox CX4. Progettato con raffreddamento ad aria altamente efficiente, la linea di server Supermicro basata su ARM è stata certificata fino a 35°C (95°F) temperatura ambiente per Enterprise e 55°C (131°F) per le applicazioni Edge.

“In collaborazione con Supermicro, mt. Hamilton porta il denso di Ampere, calcolo efficiente a un'ampia gamma di casi d'uso dal cloud centrale all'edge distribuito,” disse Jeff Wittich, Direttore Product Officer, Ampere. “Sfruttando i processori Cloud Native di Ampere, mt. Hamilton consente prestazioni 2-3 volte superiori per rack su carichi di lavoro cloud native comuni, aiutare i clienti a soddisfare meglio le esigenze di scalabilità del cloud ora e in futuro.”
