JOSE, Calif., Aug. 22,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Supermicro, Inc. (NASDAQ:
SMCI), a Total IT Solution Provider for Cloud, AI/ML, Storage,
and 5G/Edge, today announced a new VMware vSAN solution optimized
to run enterprise class hyperconverged virtualized workloads. As
virtualized workloads become more advanced, processing power and
storage performance requirements increase, requiring greater
capacity to meet application SLAs and maximize virtual machine
density. This solution also utilizes the latest Intel AMX
accelerator for AI workloads.

When compared to the Supermicro X11 BigTwin, benchmark testing
conducted by Supermicro showed up to 4.7X higher IO throughput and
8.2X lower latency on the HCIBench benchmark, up to 4.9X faster
image classification inference throughput on the ResNet50 model and
up to 4X faster natural language processing throughput on
BERT-Large model. In addition, the superior power and efficiency of
the Supermicro X13 BigTwin architecture can deliver up to 3X cost
and performance improvement within the same node footprint compared
to a similar deployment based on older generation Supermicro
systems, creating a compelling case for organizations to upgrade
their aging infrastructure.
"Supermicro continues to lead the HCI industry with the first
Gen5 vSAN solution based on the 4th Gen Intel Xeon
Scalable processors," said Charles
Liang, president and CEO, Supermicro. "Our industry leading
Supermicro BigTwin platform supports the latest generation of flash
storage media in dense, multi-node form factors optimized for HCI
to run vSAN out of the box. Supermicro's X13 BigTwin and vSAN
customers can benefit from 4.7X higher throughput and 8.2X lower
latency on the HCIBench benchmark with gen-over-gen performance
improvements. This solution enables customers to run more instances
on the same hardware and rack space, improving performance and
utilization while reducing costs."

The Supermicro X13 BigTwin platform delivers the ideal balance
of compute power, memory density, storage capacity, and redundancy
for HCI deployments, with vSAN-ready nodes ready to deploy
immediately without needing traditional enterprise storage systems.
The Supermicro X13 architecture with 4th Gen Intel®
Xeon® Scalable processors delivers support for the latest
industry-standard PCIe 5.0 NVMe drives from industry-leading
vendors for unprecedented storage performance.

The Supermicro X13 BigTwin solution is available as a 2U 2-node
or 2U 4-node configuration with optional liquid cooling. Each node
is powered by up to two 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable
processors and up to 4TB of DDR5-4800MHz memory. The system runs
the latest VMWare vSAN 8.0 software stack featuring the new Express
Storage Architecture (ESA) to create a single storage pool across
the up to 48 NVMe drives accessible by the four nodes.
