- High Availability 2U Twin Features Two Hot-Plug DP Server Nodes with
Six Hot-swap HDDs Each

Super Micro Computer, Inc. (Nasdaq: SMCI), a leader in
application-optimized, high-performance server solutions, today launched the
latest addition to the company's extensive Twin family product line, the new
2U Twin servers. These systems increase the maximum storage capacity per 1U
server node 50% by supporting six hot-swap 3.5" hard disk drives. Each 2U
Twin system features two hot-plug dual-processor (DP) server nodes and
redundant power for high availability.

"People in the industry may ask, 'Why two server nodes in 2U instead of
just using two 1U servers?' Well, one important benefit is the ability to now
support six hot-swap 3.5" hard drives per 1U server node compared to the
previous maximum of four with a standard 1U rackmount server. This advantage
provides an instant I/O performance boost for almost any application," said
Charles Liang, CEO and president of Supermicro. "These servers also provide
increased performance-per-watt and performance-per-dollar as a result of the
power and cost savings generated by both nodes sharing the same power supply,
cooling and chassis."

The versatile 2U Twin (6026TT-HD Series SuperServer) is not only ideal
for power sensitive HPC and datacenter deployments, but also mission-critical
, high-availability server applications. To take the advantage of this
versatile platform, customers are deploying high-availability solutions that
address their focused market segments in oil & gas, financial, automotive, or
internal search and web hosting.

Introducing an innovative architecture where the hard drives, power
supplies and even the compute nodes are hot-swappable, the 2U Twin
facilitates ease of maintenance and reduces the risk of downtime. It features
two hot-plug DP server nodes with non-blocking native Gen2 PCI-Express
connectivity and redundant 1400-watt Gold Level (93%+ efficiency) power
supplies for maximum availability. Each server node features IPMI 2.0 remote
management, optional onboard QDR InfiniBand for 40Gbps high-bandwidth
networking, and support for six hot-swappable 3.5" SATA drives to deliver
unprecedented I/O performance.

The 2U Twin can also support two double-width GPUs, making it a powerful
solution for compute-intensive HPC applications. Visit
