Supermicro Condenses 2U Into 1U

Supermicro Computer, Inc., known for its engineering leadership in server design, today announced a significant innovation that enables its 1U 6015X Series SuperServers to support up to four PCI-Express or PCI-X add-on cards plus one IPMI 2.0 management card with a 3rd LAN option. Packing a 700-watt high-efficiency power supply and up to 32GB of fully buffered (FBD) DDR2 memory, these 6015X servers condense the features of a 2U server into a 1U form factor, effectively doubling the expansion capacity of previous 1U servers.

"Supermicro has achieved what others in the industry thought was impossible," asserts Charles Liang, president and CEO of Supermicro. "By combining the features of a 2U server into a 1U form factor, our customers can now supply space-constrained enterprises with double the expansion capacity of existing 1U installations."

This latest innovation illustrates the advantage of Supermicro's comprehensive system-level design approach. Unlike most system-level competitors, Supermicro designs the individual components that make up the overall platform. Each building block in its SuperServers is engineered for optimum system-level benefits. In addition to the immediate benefit of doubling expansion capacity, 6015X Series servers protect a users' investment by providing room for future add-on card upgrades.

Supporting flexible combinations of four PCI-Express or PCI-X add-on cards via universal expansion slot riser cards, these servers also support a Supermicro Intelligent Management (SIM) card for a total of five add-on cards in a 1U. SIM offers cost-effective IPMI 2.0 server remote management with virtual media over LAN, optional KVM-over-LAN, and 3rd LAN support.

Powered by a high-efficiency 700-watt power supply, 6015X servers help reduce energy costs and operate at lower temperatures compared to previous generations. Optimized for Intel's new Dual-Core Xeon 5100 and 5000 series (codenamed Woodcrest and Dempsey) processors with up to 1333 MHz front-side bus speeds, the SuperServer 6015X-T and 6015X-8 both support up to 32GB of FBD DDR2 memory and three hot-swap drive bays.
