SAN JOSE, California, May 20 /PRNewswire/ --

- DatacenterBlade(TM) and OfficeBlade(TM) Recognized for Best
Performance/Watt and Best Power Efficiency

Super Micro Computer, Inc. (Nasdaq: SMCI), a leader in
application-optimized, high performance server solutions, today announced
that its latest SuperBlade(TM) solutions won the Best Green Data Center
Solution award at BladeSystems Insight 2008 over such notables as HP, IBM,
Dell and Sun. Supermicro DatacenterBlade(TM) and OfficeBlade(TM) systems
feature 93%* power supply efficiency and deliver unprecedented
performance-per-watt when combined with Supermicro thermal and design
technologies.

"Industry-leading performance combined with unmatched, earth-friendly
power efficiency as well as our advanced S3-Blade architecture, make
Supermicro SuperBlade(TM) the best choice for all server environments seeking
to optimize both performance and power consumption," said Charles Liang,
president and CEO of Supermicro. "In today's cost-sensitive market, our
superior performance-per-watt blade servers help our customers save up to
US$6000 on electrical bills per enclosure over three years* and reduce their
total cost of ownership (TCO). As the chair of the Climate Savers Computing
Initiative (CSCI) APAC region, Supermicro is strongly committed to the CSCI
mission to reduce worldwide computer power consumption 50 percent by 2010.
With that goal in mind, our DatacenterBlade(TM) systems typically consume
only 160 watts/DP blade under an average Internet Search Engine workload.
This energy reduction coupled with the savings from reduced cooling costs,
translates into tens of millions of dollars savings for large data centers*."

"The latest Intel chipset and processor technology, allows companies like
Supermicro to provide new levels of power efficiency and performance," said
Lorie Wigle, General Manager of Eco-Technology Program Office at Intel
Corporation and president of the Climate Savers Computing Initiative (CSCI).
"The energy-efficient performance of the Intel(R) Xeon(TM) processor helps
enable the highly efficient designs and performance-per-watt of Supermicro's
blade solutions, helping customers to reduce power consumption and save money
on their energy bills."

For the ultimate in energy efficiency (93%*) and performance-per-watt
(290 GFLOPS/kW*), Supermicro has introduced the SBI-7425C blade server
optimized for its new 14-blade 7U DatacenterBlade(TM) enclosure (SBE-714D),
which is ideal for green data center environments and HPC applications of any
size. In addition, the new SBI-7125C blade server in the 10-blade 7U
OfficeBlade(TM) enclosure provides industry-leading energy efficiency and
low-noise operation at less than 50dB, making it an excellent choice for
office environments or a personal supercomputer.

Performance-per-watt is a measure of computational green efficiency that
is calculated as GFLOPS (billions of floating point operations per second)
divided by the power consumed (in kW) of a given system. LINPACK, an industry
benchmark for HPC systems, is used to measure system performance in GFLOPS.
Total power consumption was measured during LINPACK operation. The resulting
ratio provides a normalized method to compare the green efficiency between
servers.
