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

Super Micro Computer, Inc. (Nasdaq: SMCI), a leader in
application-optimized, high performance server solutions, today announced
that its latest SuperBlade(TM) earned the top honor from CRN Test Center over
IBM and Dell in a head-to-head analysis. Supermicro SuperBlade(TM) systems
feature 93%* power supply efficiency and deliver unprecedented
performance-per-watt when combined with Supermicro thermal and design
technologies.

"CRN has recognized our SuperBlade(TM) as the best blade solution,
because it delivers superior power efficiency, is easy to deploy and use, and
offers the best price-to-performance and profit potential available," said
Charles Liang, CEO and president of Supermicro. "Our advanced server design
innovations continue to win more and more recognition and awards. Previously,
we earned the Best Server Innovation award from Intel for our new 1U Twin(TM)
product which features two dual-processor (DP) nodes in a standard 1U form
factor, and earlier this year, our SuperBlade(TM) earned a CRN Test Center
Recommended award."

"Of importance to solution providers is this: Supermicro allows for much
customization to take place within a system and, by and large, solution
providers can determine a great percentage of end-user pricing. Not only is
this offering easy to install and control, but delivery, services and billing
are just as easy." CRN editors concluded that, "In the end, our group of
reviewers wound up agreeing that Supermicro provided the best value based on
a combination of all the factors we deemed relevant ... we liked the
Supermicro the best."

The Supermicro SBI-7125C blade server in the 10-blade 7U OfficeBlade(TM)
enclosure provides industry-leading energy efficiency and low-noise
operation, making it an excellent choice for office environments or a
personal supercomputer.

Supermicro offers a wide selection of SuperBlade(TM) products optimized
for different environments. While the quiet OfficeBlade(TM) is ideal for
office environments, the DatacenterBlade(TM) packs 14 highly energy-efficient
blades into one 7U enclosure, with industry-leading performance/watt
(290GFLOPS/kW), making it perfect for datacenter and HPC applications.
Supermicro's enterprise-class SuperBlade(TM) features both dual and
quad-processor blades for performance, scalability and flexibility. For
maximum computational performance and density, SuperBlade(TM) supports up to
10 four-socket server blades (160 CPU cores) in one 7U enclosure. For optimum
