Now a supercomputer at affordable price

SAN JOSE, USA: Super Micro Computer, Inc, a provider in the field of application-optimized, high performance server solutions, headquartered in San Jose, CA, today announced the addition of personal supercomputer to its SuperBlade family.

Supermicro's new 10-blade server system based on the SBI-7125C-T3 blade provides the industry's most cost-effective blade solution, while also being the greenest personal supercomputer and office computing solution, said a press release.

Based on Supermicro's Server Building Block Solutions architecture, the computer can also be optimized for 14-blade configurations which are ideal for HPC and datacenter applications, it added. "Our new SuperBlade solution can be a very cost-effective supercomputer.

Now our customers can affordably enable a personal supercomputer next to their desks with the same computing power previously only available via large server installations," said Charles Liang, CEO and president of Supermicro.

He said this optimized blade solution features 93 per cent power supply efficiency, innovative and highly efficient thermal and cooling system designs, and industry-leading system performance-per-watt, making it the greenest, most power-saving blade solution.

This solution will particularly enable customers with a limited budget who need high-performance computing. This is ideal for scientists and researchers in life science, bioinformatics, physics, chemistry and similar fields of engineering and science, the manufacturers said.
