SAN JOSE, California, March 4 /PRNewswire/ --

- Superior Computational Performance, Scalability, and Power Efficiency

Super Micro Computer, Inc. (Nasdaq: SMCI), a leader in
application-optimized, high performance server solutions, today announced
that its dual-processor (DP) SuperBlade(TM) servers were recently chosen by
CERN (one of the world's largest research labs) for part of a significant
upgrade of its computing capacity for the new LHC (Large Hadron Collider)
project in Geneva. High computational performance, excellent scalability,
superior energy efficiency and a competitive price/performance ratio were key
factors in this prestigious selection process.

"Our success on previous CERN projects, coupled with Supermicro's
industry-leading blade server technology, enabled us to distinguish ourselves
from the competition," said Charles Liang, CEO and president of Supermicro.
"Ideal for HPC clusters and data centers, Supermicro SuperBlade platforms
deliver unsurpassed performance, computing density and energy efficiency,
which saves operational costs (lower total cost of ownership) and also helps
preserve our environment for future generations."

"As one of the world's leading international research centers, we are
always looking to meet an ever-growing demand for computing performance,
striving for maximum performance over total cost of ownership," said Helge
Meinhard, coordinator for server and storage procurements, of CERN. "This is
even more true this year when the LHC will start operating and producing an
estimated 15 Petabytes of data each year that need to be processed. With
these blade server platforms, we can efficiently realize a significant
increase in computational power while minimizing our operational costs."

This latest CERN project deploys 210 Supermicro SuperBlade servers
equipped with Intel(R) Xeon(R) Quad-Core processors. These servers feature
Supermicro's industry-leading high-efficiency (93%(i)) power supplies, which
help significantly increase overall system power savings.

As with some previous CERN projects, Supermicro worked closely with E4
Computer Engineering S.p.A., a highly respected supplier of major Italian and
European computation and scientific research centers. Together with the
supply of some storage systems, the monetary value of this order exceeds one
million Euros, and it also means that E4 has now provided over 1500 total
servers to CERN.

"We are proud to work with Supermicro to provide its SuperBlade solutions
to CERN, one of the world's largest and most established centers for
scientific research," said Vincenzo Nuti, CEO of E4 Computer Engineering.
"Supermicro's blade technology is among the best in the world, our
partnership with them has already achieved great results and I am sure that,
thanks to the combination of E4's know-how and Supermicro's technology, we
will continue to obtain extraordinary outcomes."
