-- 4-socket servers supporting 2nd Gen Intel(R) Xeon(R) Scalable processors and 
Intel(R) Optane(TM) DC persistent memory are Gaining Momentum in the Enterprise 
Hybrid Cloud

Super Micro Computer, Inc. (SMCI), a global leader in enterprise compute, 
storage, networking solutions and green computing technology, today announced 
that its new 4-socket servers, which support 2nd Gen Intel(R) Xeon(R) Scalable 
processors and Intel(R) Optane(TM) DC persistent memory, are now shipping in 
volume.

Supermicro's SuperServer 2049U-TR4 is powering the most demanding and intensive 
enterprise workloads for the top cloud vendors in the industry. This system is 
optimized to fully leverage the new 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors as 
well as paradigm-changing Intel Optane DC persistent memory, and this 2U server 
provides up to 112 processor cores at a very compelling price point.  In a 
recent study ( 
https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=2442814-1&h=719246384&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.intel.com%2Fcontent%2Fwww%2Fus%2Fen%2Fbig-data%2Fpartners%2Fsap%2Fpersistent-memory-and-sap-hana-brief.html%3Fwapkw%3Dsap%2Bhana%2Bperformance&a=study 
) by Intel and SAP, Intel's persistent memory enabled SAP S/4 HANA to restart 
up to 12.5 times faster than DDR4 and SSDs alone.

"Our 4-socket servers are proven, reliable machines that have been powering 
mission-critical workloads for large enterprises and top cloud service 
providers around the world" said Raju Penumatcha, Senior Vice President and 
Chief Product Officer of Supermicro.  "Using 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable 
processors and Intel Optane DC persistent memory, these servers deliver 
tremendous performance boost for in-memory computing all at a dramatically 
lower cost compared to the previous generation architectures."

"SUSE and Supermicro have long partnered on solutions that serve our customers 
in the digital economy," said Phillip Cockrell, SUSE vice president of 
Worldwide Alliance Sales. "This partnership once again leads to SUSE support 
for Supermicro solutions, now including the newest in-memory 4-socket and 
8-socket systems from Supermicro. SUSE, which provides the leading Linux 
platform for SAP workloads, and Supermicro continue to work together to deliver 
outstanding value to our customers by providing a foundation for SAP HANA on 
Kubernetes installations throughout the world."

In addition to powering the cloud, the stability and scalability of 
Supermicro's SYS-2049-TR4 makes it an ideal building block for enterprise 
customers who are looking to migrate from their current mainframe 
infrastructure.  In a recent internal test conducted by Neeve Research, 
Supermicro Multi-Processor (MP) servers were able to demonstrate superior 
performance against typical mainframe workloads.  

"Using Supermicro MP servers, we were able to achieve real-time fraud detection 
against 10TB of data to process an astonishing 10 thousand transactions per 
second (TPS) with less than 10 microsecond response time." said Grish Mutraja, 
CEO of Neeve Research, a pioneer in Next Generation in-memory computing 
technology. "The baseline today with current mainframes is around 800 TPS with 
a latency of 50 milliseconds.  Supermicro's servers provide amazing performance 
and strong value proposition for any enterprises that are seriously considering 
mainframe migration strategies."  

OmniTier, a global leader in advanced genome sequencing software, strongly 
agrees with this assessment.  "Supermicro's 4-socket server family has been 
proven to be a major asset to OmniTier's CompStor(R) advanced tiered-memory 
computing platform for genome sequencing," said Dr. Jonathan Coker, CTO of 
OmniTier, Inc. "Our compute-heavy applications demand high core count per node, 
and our tiered-memory implementation demands access to state-of-the-art, very 
high performance local storage.  Supermicro's 4-socket server solution has 
exceeded both requirements."  

Supermicro's Multi-Processor servers are designed for enterprise 
mission-critical workloads such as real-time OLTP + OLAP, in-memory analytics, 
virtualization and scale-up high performance computing (HPC).  These servers 
are certified for a wide range of popular Operating Systems including RedHat, 
SUSE, Ubuntu, VMWare, and Windows.

Supermicro is sampling a new 4U server with four 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable 
processors for up to 112 compute cores and up to 18 terabytes of memory.  The 
SuperServer 8049U-E1CR4T supports 16 expansion slots, eight NVMe SSDs and up to 
six GPU cards. The best applications for this system include in-memory 
computing, real-time data analytics, AI inference and virtualization.
