Supermicro Ships High-Performance 4-Socket Servers

Super Micro Computer, Inc. (SMCI) is shipping advanced 4-socket servers for large-scale database and enterprise applications. Using the latest Intel Xeon 6 Processors with Performance-Cores (P-Cores), these servers are CXL 2.0 ready and are made for high-performance computing workloads, and in-memory databases.

Other applications that can benefit from these systems are those that require a large memory footprint with processing power, or scientific simulation applications that rely on CPU computing with low latencies. As a component of Supermicro's Data Center Building Block Solutions (DCBBS), these servers offer higher performance than previous generations of 4-socket systems.

"These new 4-socket servers are addressing the needs of the most demanding enterprises worldwide, who require the simplicity and serviceability of a single system with up to 16TB of memory, and up to 6 double-width GPUs," says Charles Liang, president and CEO of Supermicro. "With our DCBBS approach and worldwide production capabilities, Supermicro can now deliver complete data center solutions to customers in all geographies and is first-to-market for this segment."

"Supermicro is offering an impressive portfolio of four-socket server systems optimized for the new Intel Xeon 6 processors with P-cores," says Karin Eibschitz, Intel corporate vice president and general manager Data Center Group. "With more cores, faster memory support, and up to 20 PCIe 5.0 slots, these new 4-socket data center server solutions deliver powerful performance for large-scale database and enterprise applications."

Software Certified

Supermicro 4-socket servers are certified for SAP HANA and Oracle Linux. The large memory pools available to these systems allow SAP and Oracle performance as all workloads can be scaled up in a single node without the latency of horizontally scaling across networks.

In addition, the 2U 4-socket systems can host two double-width GPUs while the 4U system can host up to six double-width GPUs for real-time or batch AI training and inferencing, tied to enterprise database applications. Versatility and capability of these systems future proof SAP and Oracle deployments for generative AI automation and ERP workflows.

These new 4-socket servers reduce complexity when creating a high-performance data center for enterprise applications, such as artificial intelligence (AI), databases, analytics, business intelligence, enterprise resource planning, customer relationship management, virtualization, and scientific workloads.

By bringing massive amounts of computing, memory, and storage resources together within a single instance of the operating system, large workloads can be accommodated, without the complexity of implementing parallel processing across multiple nodes, the company notes.
