"We are showcasing over 40 of our latest server and workstation
motherboards plus more than 20 server and workstation systems including our
whisper-quiet (28dB) workstations. For the ultimate in energy efficiency
(93%) and server technologies, we are showcasing two new SuperBlade(TM)
server systems -- OfficeBlade(TM), optimized for office environments 
(< 50dB(i)), and DatacenterBlade(TM), optimized for data centers and HPC with
support for 14 blades in a 7U enclosure," said Charles Liang, CEO and
president of Supermicro. "Leading the way in green technology, our
earth-friendly servers and workstations feature innovative power supply and
thermal subsystem designs to achieve exceptional system-level energy
efficiency. Our customers benefit with substantial energy savings and lower
TCO."

OfficeBlade(TM) (SBE-710Q-R42) is ideal for SMB (small-medium businesses)
as well as personal supercomputing applications. With acoustically optimized
thermal and cooling technologies it achieves < 50dB with 10 DP server blades
and features 100-240VAC, ultra high-efficiency (93%), N+1 redundant power
supplies.

DatacenterBlade(TM) (SBE-714D-R42) is perfect for data center and HPC
applications with performance & density optimization to achieve 672
processing cores and 4TB DDR2 memory per 42U standard rack. This powerful
