Super Micro Computer, Inc. (Supermicro), the globally renowned company in enterprise computing, storage, networking solutions and green computing technology, has announced that it will unveil its Intelligent Edge systems and preview its new CloudDC line of servers, designed for large-scale deployments in cloud data centers, during a CEO Keynote at COMPUTEXOnline 2020, taking place on June 3, 2020, in Taipei, Taiwan.

Supermicro recognized early the need for a robust cloud platform, in order to provide network operators with an environment to develop applications and a distributed edge. This is especially important as core 5G network functions will be tightly interwoven with and fueled by public clouds.

Dual-processor CloudDC servers

Supermicro’s next-generation dual-processor CloudDC servers feature multiple storage options in 1U and 2U servers, dual OCP 3.0 compliant AIOM slots for up to four 100GbE ports, support for Open BMC, an all-hybrid backplane design supporting SATA3, SAS3, or NVMe storage drives, and a simplified architecture optimized for hyper-scale environments.

Charles Liang, the President, and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Super Micro Computer, Inc., said “With our already strong position in 5G infrastructure and the initial release of CloudDC servers, Supermicro provides customers with optimized next-generation systems from the edge to the Cloud.

Focus on x86-based systems and support for open-source NFV

He adds, “This combination demonstrates Supermicro’s continuing focus on x86-based systems and support for open-source NFV (network functions virtualization) compliant solutions, leveraging NEBS and off-the-shelf validated telco software, powered by our server and storage Building Block Solutions.

Supermicro’s CloudDC servers offer exceptional value for a multitude of use cases. For the private cloud, CloudDC servers have flexible storage and expansion, NVMe over fabrics, rapid deployment, easy maintenance, and high scalability.

First-to-market Outdoor Edge Systems

In the 5G/telco arena, CloudDC systems are designed to be NEBS Level 3 ready, support O-RAN virtualized network elements, such as DU, CU, and core, and also accommodate FPGA accelerator cards. The platform supports up to four GPU accelerator cards and can process deep learning training and inference, data analytics, graphics, and high-performance computing.

Supermicro announced earlier in 2020 its first-to-market Outdoor Edge Systems. These IP65 enclosure-based servers are optimized for 5G RAN, AI inferencing, and other intelligent edge-focused applications. These new systems support the industry’s movement towards open-source software and x86 disaggregated hardware, and are ideal for harsh outdoor environments.
