Blade Server Brief
30 September 2008
Supermicro has produced 2 families of SuperBlade servers: a DatacentreBlade supporting 14 blades and an OfficeBlade supporting 10 blades. Apart from blade density they have very similar features and are both housed in a 7U chassis. The OfficeBlade has a Quiet version offering a lower noise level and can be fitted with a small cabinet for locating in an office environment.
Both families offer an extensive range of blade technologies:
- 2-way Intel Xeon 5000 series processors
- 2-way AMD Opteron 2000 series processors
- 4-way AMD Opteron 8000 series processors
- Hot-swap and redundant modules- chassis management & PSU
- Chassis management with IPMI 2.0, KVM-over-IP, remote Virtual Media (Floppy/CD/Drive redirection), remote power control, etc. through a web interface
- Network GbE switch, GbE pass-through, 4x DDR InfiniBand switch
|

A typical blade supports the following:
- Intel or AMD
- Dual or Quad Processor
- 6, 8 or 16 DIMM Slots
- 6x 2.5" or 2x 3.5" HDD
- Hardware RAID for up to 6 HDDs option
- Infiniband Mazzanine Host Adaptor option
In terms of market competition, Supermicro blade servers have higher computing and storage density, higher PSU efficiency, lower noise and lower TCO pricing.
