SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 2 — Super Micro Computer, Inc., a global leader in high-performance, high-efficiency server, storage technology and green computing will highlight its broad range of server, storage and networking platforms optimized for hyper-converged infrastructure at VMware Partner Exchange 2015 this week in San Francisco, CA. New solutions are configured to take maximum advantage of VMware vSphere 6 and VMware Virtual SAN 6 functionality delivering turnkey solutions that accelerate deployment and ease management and maintenance of hyper-scale virtualized environments. Headlining the company’s exhibits will be the 1U/2U Ultra series SuperServers for general purpose virtual compute, 2U TwinPro² VMware EVO: RAIL appliance, 4U FatTwin Virtual SAN Ready Nodes, and 2U vGPU-capable High-Speed Ultra Server featuring up to 4x NVIDIA GRID K2 GPUs. The 7U VMware certified SuperBlade, supporting up to 30x hot-swap NVMe or 20x NVIDIA GRID K2 GPUs, will also be highlighted, including a blade-based direct-attached JBODs solution, managing externally connected disk enclosures for leveraging existing investments in blade-based architectures.

“Supermicro is defining the next generation hardware platform for hyper-converged infrastructure with the widest range of compute and storage platforms optimized for any specific virtualization application,” said Charles Liang, President and CEO of Supermicro. “Our Ultra, TwinPro, FatTwin and SuperBlade solutions feature Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 CPUs, DDR4, hot-swap NVMe, virtualized GPUs and high efficiency digital power supplies. They are ideal for Virtual SAN hybrid or all-flash deployments. With their unique characteristics, they improve data center performance, bring down overall TCO and future-proof customer investments in hyper-converged infrastructure deployments for SDDC, IaaS and Public Private Cloud services environments.”

“With the release of VMware vSphere 6 and VMware Virtual SAN 6 we completed two major steps forward in the realization of our vision for the software-defined data center, enabling the next generation of hyper-converged infrastructure,” said Todd Surdey, vice president, Strategic Alliances and Emerging Partners, VMware. “Supermicro is focused on bringing the latest technologies to market fully tested and validated for our hyper-converged infrastructure solutions. Through strategic partnerships, we can deliver a complete virtualized compute, storage, network, and management platforms featuring increased performance and scalability to support our mutual customers’ most challenging business-critical applications.”
