Supermicro has been the dominant player in the server market for some time. With their vertically integrated business model, Supermicro offers servers that are compatible with standard protocols and software. This makes them highly desirable, especially for enterprise customers.
SuperMicro Computer Inc., founded in 2002 and headquartered in San Jose, California, is a manufacturer of computer hardware based on x86 architecture. The company produces motherboards, expansion cards, server chassis, and other computer components. Supermicro operates as an independent subsidiary of Super Equity LLC (SELL), a private equity firm based in New York City. Here are some kinds of services and products that SuperMicro has.
1. Server Chassis
Supermicro Server Chassis has different types of chassis, such as SYS-1028TP-NTR, SYS-1029TP-NTR, SYS-1029TP2-NTR, etc. And the chassis is used for assembling the barebone system. The main product is the Rackmount server chassis with a fanless design and a design that can support up to 2U high. Server GPU and all other input/output devices are installed in the chassis.
2. Motherboard
The motherboard is the core component of a computer system. It primarily connects all other components, including CPU and memory chips. Supermicro motherboards are compatible with many operating systems and have high performance as well as low power consumption. Supermicro motherboards have several models such as H8QMEB motherboard, H8TQMEB motherboard, and so on. The products are used in professional servers, storage servers, and so on. 5g edge computing and 10g edge computing are the main products of SuperMicro.
3. CPU
It is one of the most important parts of a computer system; it contains the central processing unit (CPU) that performs computing functions by using electric signals from outside or inside the computer system according to instructions from software programs or hardware installation instructions stored in memory chips or ROM chips on it (such as BIOS). There are various kinds of CPUs available today such as AMD CPUs, Intel CPU, ARM CPUs, etc., Supermicro has developed a variety of CPUs for customers’ needs. Machine learning solutions can be obtained by using Supermicro CPU.
4. Memory
The memory is a component that temporarily stores data for the CPU to use. The memory can be classified into DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) and SRAM (Static Random Access Memory). It is used by the CPU to carry out the computing work. There are various kinds of memory such as DDR4, DDR3, DDR2, etc. Supermicro has a variety of memory for customers’ needs.
5. Networking and Storage
The network and storage are used to communicate between computers or between computers and peripheral devices. Supermicro provides various networking and storage products such as 10g/1g/10g/100g Ethernet, 10g/1g/10g/100g Fibre Channel, 10Gbps SAS, 10Gbps iSCSI, and so on. Your rack is a chassis that has GPU as the main component.
6. RAID
RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is a storage technology that provides data redundancy and high performance by using multiple disk drives in the same computer system. The disk drives are connected to the motherboard via a RAID controller card or port on the motherboard. Supermicro has designed high-performance RAID controllers for customers’ needs. Supermicro also provides software products such as MegaRAID Storage Manager for managing the storage of storage devices on the Windows operating system or Linux operating
7. Embedded System
A computer system that has an embedded processor, such as a microcontroller, is designed to provide small-scale functions. An embedded system may have no display, keyboard, or other user interface components but it still can function as an Internet of Things (IoT) device. Supermicro provides various products for embedded system needs such as motherboard, CPU board, storage board, and so on. According to recent research, an embedded system is the most popular application for small-scale servers in the Internet of Things era.
Supermicro’s product line provides a variety of hardware components for various types of applications. Therefore, Supermicro can meet the requirements of any customer’s application. Many super micro customers are very satisfied with the high-performance products and services.
