The Computex exhibition provides IT professionals the opportunity to experience our new, award-winning products that Supermicro has introduced this year. Two products have won awards at this year’s Computex; the Smart Edge Server, SYS-E100-9AP, won the Computex Design and Innovation Award 2017 and the 60-Bay 4U SuperStorage won the 2017 Best Choice award. The Design and Innovation competition was held in Taiwan by the iF International Forum Design, GmbH and included 96 participants from 8 countries who submitted 255 entries. The Best Choice Award competition was held by the Taipei Computer Association and focused on Functionality, Innovation and Market Potential.
The Supermicro Smart Edge Server, SYS-E100-9AP, is designed to ensure interoperability between systems, for ease of services deployment, and to enable a broad ecosystem of solution providers. It not only lets users securely aggregate, share and filter data for analysis but also helps ensure that data generated by devices can travel securely and safely from the edge to the cloud and back – without replacing existing infrastructure. The SYS-E100-9AP is designed for Smart Factory/Building/Home and Kiosk applications or interactive information systems and environmental monitoring.
The Supermicro top loading, 60-Bay 4U SuperStorage is the only 60-bay storage server supporting NVMe SSDs (6 x U.2) for I/O intensive meta-data operations, highest performance CPUs, largest memory with 24 DIMMs, on-board M.2 SSDs, HA boot drives, and a wide range of networking choices with Supermicro Super I/O Module (SIOM) cards. Deploying and servicing the 60-bay SuperStorage products is easy with tool-less chassis design, tool-less drive carriers, out-of-band management through IPMI 2.0 with dedicated LAN port, Supermicro RSD based on Intel® Rack Scale Design (Intel® RSD) support, and a built-in front panel LCD for fast system and disk diagnostics. As a mainstay in Supermicro capacity maximized, top loading storage product family, 60-Bay Storage offerings are optimized for the most demanding software-defined storage applications and especially popular among cloud service providers and large internet data center customers.
“Winning the ‘Best Choice Award’ for our 60-Bay, Top-Loading, Storage Server and the ‘Design and Innovation Award’ for our Edge Server confirms our ability to anticipate market demands. One 42U rack of 60-Bay top loading storage products would support more than 7PB of storage providing a powerful, multi-tiered, high density platform for today’s data hungry web scale applications. Our family of 45, 60 and 90 bay storage servers are capacity optimized, top-loading, storage products that offer the broadest range of solutions for Software Defined Storage,” said Charles Liang, President and CEO of Supermicro. “The Internet-of-Things is a growing opportunity for Supermicro and we are investing in IoT solutions development.
