Supermicro Unveils 3U Storage Solutions with 16 Hot-Swap Drive Bays
Versatile SC836E1/E2 Expander Models Scale to 128 SAS/SATA Drives
San Jose, CA, September 18, 2006 - Super Micro Computer, Inc., a leading provider of application optimized, high performance server solutions, today announced availability of the new SC836 series chassis, its first chassis to support 16 hot-swappable 3.5-inch hard drives in a 3U rackmount form factor for high-density storage. SC836 series chassis feature high-efficiency (85%+) 800-watt redundant power supplies, an optimized cooling system design for 100% cooling redundancy, and the versatility to support a variety of serverboards including those optimized for dual-core Xeon 5100/5000 as well as the latest dual-core Opteron processors.
The SC836TQ-R800 chassis supports up to 12 terabytes of storage capacity when deployed with 16 hot-swap 750GB SATA drives. Significantly, all of Supermicro's versatile 3U chassis support widely available, high-capacity 3.5-inch hard drives. They not only feature 100% cooling redundancy for added system reliability, but SC836 series chassis also come standard with a DVD-ROM and floppy drive.
The SC836TQ, 836E1 and 836E2 models all support high-performance SAS and high-capacity, cost-effective SATA hard drives. These models also support SAS SCSI Enclosure Services (SES2) for enclosure management to provide drive fault, RAID rebuild, and hot spare LED indications along with thermal monitoring and fan speed control.
The E1 models feature a single-port expander for enterprise SAS and high-capacity SATA disk drives, while the E2 models feature dual-port expanders for full data redundancy. With Supermicro's specially designed cascading cable configuration, all E1 and E2 models are capable of cascading up to 128 enterprise SAS or SATA drives.
"For storage applications, these 3U products provide exceptional storage density and leverage high-efficiency 800-watt power supplies to maximize performance-per-watt savings and reduce TCO," notes Charles Liang, president and CEO of Supermicro. "SC836 series chassis are optimized to support a variety of our latest high-performance serverboards including those that support 16 memory slots for up to 64GB of fully buffered (FBD) DDR2 memory."
For those who prefer parallel SCSI, the SuperServer 6035B-8R+ features the SC836S2-R800 chassis to support 16 hot-swap, dual-channel U320 SCSI drives and 16 memory slots for up to 64GB FBD DDR2. Optimized for dual-core Xeon 5100 (Woodcrest) and 5000 (Dempsey) series processors, the 6035B-8R+ also supports six high-performance add-on cards and a Supermicro Intelligent Management (SIMLP) module.
